NBC's Emergency! was one of the best series to hit the airwaves in the early 1970s. With its captivating attention to realism, it was a truly groundbreaking television series. A spin-off of Adam-12 and Dragnet, the Jack Webb co-produced series ushered in a genre of 'municipal services TV' series that NBC would continue to rely on for decades to come with its popular Law & Order and Chicago Fire offerings. For many, Emergency! bordered on being an educational program. In fact, it's even credited with saving a few lives, but that's a story for another time.

The stellar cast was one of the show's biggest draws. The station 51 duo of Roy Desoto played by Kevin Tighe and John Gage portrayed by Randolph Mantooth as well as the additions of characters like Dr. Kelly Brackett played by Robert Fuller and nurse Dixie McCall played by Julie London became heroes and heartthrobs for viewers.
Emergency ran for six seasons consisting of 122 episodes.
