Adam-12 Crossover!
mitchrmp17 July 2012
The original movie had an Adam-12 Crossover, but Reed and Malloy actually appeared on the show. In this episode, the fire station gang was watching on on Television - sort of a blunder, if you ask me. When they get a call in the middle of the episode, Johnny sets out to figure out how the show ended. He drives everyone crazy with it!

The call they answered was a rather bizarre case involving a robber in the air duct. I'm not sure if it was a blunder or on purpose, but in this scene, Johnny takes off his hat and throws it to the ground, only it lands on Chet. Chet gives Johnny a startled look. The men also have to rescue a man who'd been poisoned by radiation, and in the process, they get hit by radiation themselves.

At the hospital, the doctors treat two men who got in a fight...twice. Dr. Bracket treats a woman with headaches.

All-in-all, this was a good episode.

Weird Adam 12 Crossover
sd726679 May 2018
In the pilot episode, Malloy & Reed from Adam-12 make an appearance. Then in the 11th episode of Emergency, John & Roy discuss the Adam-12 tv show plot throughout this episode. It is a bizarre & awful written plot. The only reason I can give for this episode is Adam-12's ratings were dipping. Adam-12 would hang on for 3 more seasons before being cancelled.
