Welcome to Episode 17 of the 14th season of the Retroist Podcast. In this episode, I talk about the long-running TV show, Emergency! I have wanted to do an Emergency! episode for a while. I actually tried back when I did my Adam-12 podcast. It was not great, I needed to get more into the show. Glad I revisited it.
I also watched this after school, but in '70s syndication. Actually my sister said she went into the medical field based on seeing this show. Well done, good actors, realistic, and some comic relief. And one of the great theme songs!
TV shows like Emergency! and Adam-12 had this knack for putting the spotlight on people's careers. Mantooth often talks about how fulfilling that feels in interviews. It's pretty great to think about the impact those shows must have had on people's lives.
