This series is the defining moment of EMS in this Nation. Without the attention brought by this series, you could still have to dial full phone numbers and wait for a doctor to come by and see you, or just take your chances with getting to a Hospital. Never before, or since, has a TV show had such an impact on healthcare in America. Watch the unfolding of history when the fledgling Paramedic program was first introduced. See representations of what actual Rescues were like, and how Paramedics became front line lifesavers. The story lines also include the first rumblings of dissatisfaction at outdated and atiquated systems. This series ignited the modern EMS wildfire that swept this country and had everyone demanding better Emergency Healthcare, and rocketed this PROFESSION from barely known to everyday conversation. It also raised awareness and brought about public education and use of CPR, 911, and other improvements. These "tapes" have even been used by hundreds of real EMS for training. (no kidding) So if you are glad that the days of "having Two 'Ambulance Attendants' toss you in the back of a converted hearse and HOPE they got you to the hospital on time" are long gone, then you should enjoy this entertaining and wonderful series. But then, as a Paramedic, I might be a little biased. Quality FAMILY programming that will give you hours of viewing pleasure.Read full review
Great show, even 50 years later. Stories are always engaging and the anticipation has you on the edge of the seat at times. Disc arrived in good shape, a couple of minor scratches that polished well.

Emergency was an excellent and enlightening TV series; cast was excellent and worked well together. The 3 DVD set was in excellent condition; no problem with any of the 3 discs. I have all the series except season 5 and have enjoyed all of the shows. Season 2 arrived well packaged and in perfect condition.

I bought Emergency!-Season 2 for my son's 10th birthday. (He got Season 1 last year.) When he started to go "fire truck crazy", I remembered this show from when I was growing up. He LOVES it and I love the fact that I don't have to censor it! I often watch it with him and get a kick out of how much of it seems familiar,even though I haven't seen it for years (decades??). My husband and I groan over the fashion sense of the early 70's but at this point, that goes unnoticed by our son!
i used to watch it in the 70s, it was great then and is great now.
