Talk:Emergency!

message: The "'gold standard' of Johnny and Roy" I removed.  I work in emergency services and have heard of it, but there is "the golden hour" (the first sixty minutes from incident to, usually, surgery).  I think the user has this mixed up.  Paramedic and EMT classes usually mention Johnny and Roy at some point in the class.  If this "gold standard" is correct, I would ask for a citation on it.Squad51 18:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: As someone who only has very vague memories of the show from childhood, I don't understand the love triangle section at all. It looks like the section is mixing descriptions of the fictional story and the actors' real lives without distinguishing which is which. Don't assume readers are familiar with the show. --JHP 23:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph reads weird to me. The sentence "A show that starred Robert Fuller, Julie London and Bobby Troup, as doctors and a nurse, who helped saved lived of the many victimized patients." reads strangely with the surrounding text, and missing any reference to Tighe and Mantooth, who were often the primary stars.

I knew that I recalled a cartoon series of Emergency.  Since the comic book is mentioned, shouldn't this one be mentioned as well? CodeCarpenter (talk) 14:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'd say the currently airing series "Trauma" is the closest thing to a 'sequel' to "Emergency!" there's ever been on TV.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 07:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Corrected the DVD release section to show that a set containing the movies would only have 6 episodes. Someone else had 9 in there.
There were 6 two hour long movies, which were each split up into two 60 minute programs for syndication after their original airings as movie of the week programs. Since the previous tv movie (The Emergency! pilot episode) is shown in it's original form in the season 1 boxset and isn't split up like how it aired in syndication, I think 6 is the safe number to have entered. 
It's either going to be 6 or 12 (Depending on if they go with the uncut versions like they have so far, or the syndicated versions), 9 isn't a number of episodes that is even possible with this potential release.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.220.47 (talk) 21:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it should be mentioned that John Gage in almost every episode told someone to calm down. I wouldn't call it his catchphrase, but it would be nice to know how many times throughout the series he said it. Paula Bunion (talk) 06:19, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Calm Down!" 

message: I see someone reverted it back to show 9 movies in the DVD release section. That's incorrect so please stop vandalizing the Wikipedia entry for this series.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.220.47 (talk) 23:27, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I deleted this:
:"The tones heard before the station alarm is activated are actual Motorola "Quik Call I" codes, used by LACoFD until the 1990s. At the time of filming, an LACoFD station's main base station radio was usually in "quiet" mode, so the crew on duty wouldn't have to hear every transmission over the fire channel at all hours. Although only two tones could be heard for each station dispatched to an alarm, the Quik Call system actually used two sets of tones (four total) to activate station alarms, and each of these tones was actually two frequencies sent together, similar to the DTMF Touch-Tone signals used in telephone electronic dial systems. When a dispatcher selected one or more stations to be "toned out", the Quik Call system would transmit the first set of tones which would unsquelch the radio at one or more stations and turn on their loudspeakers, closely followed by a second set of tones for each individual station which could be heard and which activated the intended station's alarm klaxon, generated by a Federal Signal "Vibratone" alarm horn. The second set of Quik Call tones which was specifically for station 51 were LZPZ-HZKZ, also known as 1 second of 794.3 Hz + 1084.0 Hz followed by 3 seconds of 582.1 Hz + 716.7 Hz (the third tone was the klaxon which was set off by Quick Call). The opening of the bay door and lights coming on with the klaxon was through a Motorola "Intrac" system, known as automatic switch control. Although we never saw the bay door close as they left, the Intrac had a timed relay which would automatically close the door a pre-programmed time after dispatch."
as ill-placed. I'm not sure where it does belong, but if somebody can figure it out...  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  02:00, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The color in these releases seems really... Weird.  There's no notes on how the show was filmed.  Are the weirdly bright colors to do with how it was filmed or restored? 76.21.107.221 (talk) 04:53, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVD/Netflix release 

message: I watched this show as a kid, and I could have SWORN that the original name of the show was "Emergency 51." I distinctly remember being upset that they suddenly change it to "Emergency!" after a year or two. Am I dreaming here? I can't seem to find any mention of this in this article, or on the IMDB website. Freaky. Can any other old-timers back me up?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:8400:F742:98C4:7C11:F605:CCA6 (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
