....but I loved this show as a kid. Heck, I even had the board game, which would be a real collector's item had I not lost the pieces at age 10. I saw an episode on TV Land recently and its age shows. Randoph Mantooth's character Gage was some sort of ladies man, something I didn't notice when I watched the show as a kid. I remember the realistic emergency calls--some really unusual, like a woman being caught in a huge cactus. And the show usually ended with a spectacular (for '70s TV, at least) fire.
Its influence can be felt in the current reality TV craze, not to mention a little show called "ER." But this was the first of its kind, and despite its corniness, we must praise it. The DVD release must be inevitable. I may just pick up a copy.
