- Crazy creditsThe end of the credits features a "Arnold Shapiro Productions" bumper that has a comical "Mr. Shapiro, step out of the car please" voice over, as if he is being arrested.
- Alternate versionsOriginal prime time network airings were an hour-long block, usually with 4 stories that were about 15 minutes each. Many syndicated versions were only half an hour, with 2 stories.

Featured review
Lucy 774, you have no idea what you are talking about. I am 22 years old. I watched the series premier back in 1989 when I was 3 years old, and I never missed a single episode until the show was canceled in 1996. It was and still is the best show that I have ever watched. This show is about real stories of people who have real life emergencies and the actions of the people who help to make sure the victims come through the ordeals with the best possible outcome. I am happy to say that I was able to save my own mother's life by implementing Cardio-Pulmonary Recesitation skills that I learned as a result of "Rescue 911". I thank God that this unbelievably spectacular show was created because had it not been, I would not have had the vital skills necessary to save the life of the most important person in my life. I still pray every night that CBS would bring back this show. To make my point on everything that I have said in this review, I would like you to go to www.youtube.com and click on the video clip entitled "Rescue 911 - 200 Lives - Segment 1, and watch the speech that William Shatner makes. Once you see that clip, you will understand why this show is so inspiring. I just started watching clips on youtube and they made me realize how much I enjoy helping other people. This afternoon, I went to my town's volunteer fire dept. Please CBS, bring back this show.
