Emergency! is an American television series that combines the medical drama and action-adventure genres. It was produced by Mark VII Limited (Jack Webb’s company) and distributed by Universal Studios. It debuted as a midseason replacement on January 15, 1972, on NBC, replacing the short-lived series The Good Life, and ran until September 3, 1978, with several more made-for-TV movies during the 1978-1979 season. Emergency! was created and produced by Jack Webb and Robert Cinader, both of whom were also responsible for the police dramas Adam-12 and Dragnet. The show focuses on paramedics John Gage and Roy DeSoto (played by Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe) of the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Station 51 (actually Station 127 in Carson, California), and the hospital emergency room staff Dr. Kelly Brackett, Nurse Dixie McCall and Dr. Joe Early (played by Robert Fuller, Julie London and Bobby Troup) with whom the paramedics work to save lives. It was also the first show to feature paramedics who help rescue victimized or hurt patients. Emergency! and Adam-12 were similar in that they featured dedicated civil servants handling two or three varied and unrelated incidents during a typical shift; however, Emergency!, with its larger cast and sixty-minute running time compared to the half-hour allotted for Adam-12, typically allowed for more plot and character development.
