Oh boy, a lesson in child raising. lol S05E15 Right At Home Summary: Dr. Brackett rides along with Copter 10, where he, along with the paramedics, to rescue a boy and his father from their overturned camper--Dixie encourages Roy to take the boy in as a foster parent, since the boy's mother is out of state, and causes trouble both at home and at the station. Another young boy is brought into the ER and is diagnosed with spinal meningitis, Dr. Early talks to the mother if surgery is needed. The firemen rescue a man from a structure fire with bad burns on both legs. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: We start with Dr. Brackett joining a crew with a helicopter where he gets to see all. Nice quip by the pilot: 'The coffee is great but the food is lousy'. lol Soon Copter 10 is dispatched to a call along with Station 51 to an overturned truck and camper. At first they rescue a little boy, Eddie, later the two men and Johnny seems to be a cleptomaniac with stethoscope. In an earlier episode he took it from Roy, now from Dr. Brackett. Back on the street, Roy takes care of Eddie while Johnny flies with the doc to Rampart where Roy is gently convinced to take care of the boy since they were already having fun with grape juice. Well, some time later, Roy is ready to push the boy out since he's way too spoiled and gets on anyone's nerves. It went that far that even the cops had to have come to Roy's neighborhood. Meaning, Eddie feels right at home there and at the station. Even Captain Stanley complains and no one reacts as the boy takes one thing of the wand. At Rampart, Dr. Early deals with meningitis and there's a minor dispute between the mother and babysitter which the doctor quickly ends. Later that day, Roy whines about Eddie to Dixie and well, the nurse agrees to take him. Some days later, the boys are astonished how good Eddie behaves and ask how she did it. And well, Dixie only offers that she didn't treat him differenly like Kel and Joe (Drs. Brackett and Early) which left Roy and Johnny stunned. Some pics: Some pics are again from Tumblr. Surely is interesting. See you tomorrow!

Yeah, a very rare occasion. S05E16 The Girl on the Balance Beam Summary: A young girl is in a rush to go to the Olympics. The firemen rescue an actress trapped on a high wire at a studio, extricate a drunk driver from his car, and battle a train fire with ammonium nitrate on board. (on IMDB) A young 14 year-old girl is in a big rush to go to an upcoming olympic gymnastic games when she suffered an injury during a bad fall off the balance beam, The Station responds to a possible woman trapped on a wire at a movie studio, they also respond to a vehicle accident, and a train carrying ammona complicates a terrible fire at a railroad yard! (from here taken) Thoughts: We start with a girl working on a hard on the balance beam and tries a new move, yet she falls down and so Johnny and Roy are called. The girl, Nancy, tries to prove to be fine after waking up, yet it isn't the case. As it turns out, her father is pushing her way too hard to compete in an Olympic trial. It looks like there are more his wishes than hers. It takes some time to understand it for the father. The squad, along with the engine, rescue an actress, hanging on wires but the lady gives them some trouble but the fairy is rescued. Then the station is called to an accident - with a drunk driver who always thanks for the officers and let all happen but is not happy with making him wet during the rescue. Jeez! He's ready to sleep off. Never mind, the last call brings the station to a fire on a railroad yard where Chet seems to be ready to drive anything and Roy gets hurt while opening a wagon. Johnny takes care of him. Their dialog is quite of funny. Some pics: Some are taken from Tumblr again. See you tomorrow!

That's great. For me this is all 'new', so to speak. S05E17 Involvement Summary: Dixie's predecessor, old friend and a former Rampart head nurse tries to commit suicide by OD'ing on antidepressants and caught her house on fire, where she befriends a paraplegic child who almost drowned in a swimming pool. The paramedics help a woman who fainted after wrapping her body in plastic to treat her cellulite, a family suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning from a new furnace installation, and a man pinned under a truck loaded with leaking liquid hydrogen. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Rampart's former emergency department head nurse tries to commit suicide; she is brought to Rampart, where she befriends a paraplegic child who almost drowned in a swimming pool. Also: a woman wrapped in plastic, a family suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning and a man pinned under a tank truck containing volatile fuel. (taken from here again) Thoughts: Now we're more at the hospital than the station, but well. The station is called out to a suspossedly fire but can't find it. Cap, John and Roy look for it and find it and save with that an old lady who Dixie immediately recognizes when they arrive at Rampart. It's the former head nurse who tried to commit suicide. Another patient brought in is a paraplegic child who causes some trouble for the staff, so Dixie friendly suggests to put these two together and see what happens. Meanwhile, Roy and Johnny help a woman who fainted because she had wrapped plastic around her body - to get the fat in her body again. Right. Dr. Early gives her a better advice. A father and son appear at Rampart and getting treated by Dr. Morton but not for the flu though for carbon monoxide poisoning. Wife and daughter are also in danger and so Station 51 responds who manage to also save the family dog. At the hospital, Johnny and Roy get to know Millie, the former head nurse who thanks them and both are suddenly shy. Back in the squad, they discuss their own retirement and Johnny says Roy has it better because of his family - and Johnny is all for money. The last call takes the station to a car pinned under a truck with leaking liquid hydrogen. They have to save the driver - with fire rising and Johnny gets nearly burned which Captain Stanley lets him know. Not only was the driver lucky but also Johnny. And Millie has found a new purpose in a suicide prevention center. Note: The incident with the carbon monoxide poisoning had happened to Randy Mantooth in real life, just a month before airing this episode (found on IMDB). Some pics: Some pics are taken from Tumblr again. Enjoy. And see you tomorrow!

Great, and I couldn't stop laughing (partly) and well, you see. S05E18 Above and Beyond....Nearly Summary: Roy & John receive commendations for bravery, also receive congratulations from Dr. Early, Dixie's nursing staff, as well with herself, but neither John nor Roy remember the rescue that resulted in the commendations. Dr. Early makes a comment to John about his undetailed letter. The paramedics assist a 94-year-old man with a broken ankle from dancing and join Copter 14 in rescuing an injured mountain man stranded on a cliff. Dixie, Drs. Brackett & Early treat a man who passed out in a dentist's chair. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Roy and John receive commendations for bravery, but they can't remember the incident. A 94-year old man breaks his ankle while dancing. Dr. Brackett treats a man who passed out in a dentist’s chair. An injured mountaineer is stranded on a cliff. (from here again) Thoughts: We start with the guys cleaning up their lunch table when Chet announces a green car has arrived and all quickly stumble out to grab their helmets (not the right ones for some) and line up. Chief Houts has arrived to give Gage and DeSoto commendations for bravery but they can't remember for what event. Their colleagues congratulate them before Roy and Johnny get called out to a dancing incident. There Johnny estimates the man's age very wrong which even astonishes Dr. Brackett. A 94 year old man has broken his ankle and as a young woman comes to his aid, Johnny and Roy assume she's going to marry him, yet it's only his grandson. lol At Rampart, the congratz continue and the paramedics are still making up a rescue and well, Johnny and Roy are in need to jog their memory - in Cap's office over the logbook. They find out that there was a fire, along with the engine, yet the house and story differ from man to man. Meanwhile, at Rampart a man falls unconscious being on a dentist's chair. The Emergency staff helps out, mainly Drs. Early and Brackett and Dixie, and the only way the man can be treated is under full narcotics - which he agrees to, reluctantly. The last rescue brings the station to a man stranded on a cliff. Since it's late in the day, Captain Stanley first requests a copter and later a lights unit (very interesting!). Johnny and Roy do first a free climbing with Johnny in the lead, yet the sand is too tricky and both roll down - fast. So, they use the copter as an anchor and rappel down, with stokes and all. Captain Stanley is very concerned about this rescue in the dark and doesn't want another victim! You can guess who. The rescue is very difficult for the paramedics but they manage to bring the man down. Back at the station, they are just hungry when Cap turns up and well, the Chief is back. Cap Stanley quickly flees to the kitchen while the Chief lets Johnny and Roy know that there was a mistake. Not Squad 51 was the winner but squad 15. The numbers were messed up in the long way. Oops, and the Chief tells Johnny twice to get his hair cut. Ouch! Some pics: Some pictures are from Tumblr again. The Internet doesn't provide this much. Strange.
I was kinda laughing from the start, not knowing what to expect but great episode. See you tomorrow! P.S.: On Wednesday we start with S6!!

Another kind of funny episode. S05E19 Grateful Summary: John and Roy rescue a couple from under a car; they then proceed to hang around Station 51. An elderly man performs CPR on his friend, before being done by Dixie and Dr. Early, but causes more harm than good. The paramedics assist a boy struck in the eye by a BB gun, then rescue victims of a boat fire after returning from a false alarm with Copter 10. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) After a couple is rescued from under a car, they hang about the stationhouse, helping out. An elderly man tries to perform CPR on his friend, but does more harm than good. A child is struck in the eye with a BB gun. While returning from a false alarm on Copter 10, Roy and John rescue the victims of a boat fire. (taken from here again) Thoughts: Oh boy, the station gets called out to rescue a couple trapped under a table in a restaurant. While Johnny is taking care of the man, Roy tends to the woman still trapped under the car and table. It takes some time, so Cap plays the man on the phone while the others free as well as treat the victims. Unfortunately, they're going to regret this soon. Well, the Merkles, the saved couple, is really grateful and brings them meals and more which get on anyone's nerves at the station. It even goes that far that they follow Johnny and Roy to a rescue, embarrassing them to no end. At Rampart, the paramedics speak with Dixie and soon they figure out when the A Shift has their days off, the Merkles visit Rampart and vice versa. Well, a man brings his friend to the hospital after having done some CPR on him as he saw it on TV but he might have done more harm than good but they remain friends - after a little punch. Johnny and Roy get called to a young boy, also named Johnny, who gets struck in the eye by a BB gun. The parents dispute and the Merkles appear. Not good. At Rampart, Dr. Early gives the parents his opinion while Roy and Johnny then discuss in the squad how to get rid of the couple - and decide to let the Captain speak with them. Well, it doesn't seem to be working well. The last call brings the squad to respond with Copter 10, yet their rescue gets cancelled but soon they spot a boat on fire. At first they rescue one man who sprung to safety into the water but need help to push out the fire what the helicopter manages with two tries. Then Johnny and Roy get the other victim and both to Rampart via Copter 10. Returning to the station, they find Chet cooking and the couple gone. They turn to Captain Stanley who tells them the story what made the Merkles switch their attention to station 116. Station 51 is definitely grateful. lol Note: This story was written by Michael Norell, or known as "Captain Stanley" in the show. Some pics: Some pictures are from Tumblr again. Very helpful and I might add my own soon as well.
Well, the couple was kinda annoying to the guys. Once they might have accepted but all the time? Never mind. See you tomorrow!

That he is. Oh boy, this time Chet gets on anyone's nerves. S05E20 The Great Crash Diet Summary: Hanna-Barbera's Marineland is the site of the first rescue. During an inspection by Johnny and Roy, one of the underwater technicians at the facility has a very close encounter with a shark called Amore and needs their help. The guys are called to assist a 17-year old on his birthday; he ate 2 loaves of raw cinnamon bread dough before his mother could bake them. As he complains of tummy ache, Johnny jokingly promises to get the teenaged genius home in time for birthday cake. At the station, Dr. Morton performs tests on the firefighters and suggests they watch their diets. To the dismay of his teammates, this propels Chet into fig, alfalfa and bean curd orbit. Marco will not give up his retried beans without a fight. Station 51 has all hands on deck with an MI (heart) reported by the victim's daughter; she, in turn, is 8 months pregnant with her first baby. Johnny and Roy beg Mike Morton to talk some sense into Chet. An oilman driving a convertible with more horns than a steer has a phone in his car. He reports a vehicle is crashed into an electrical pole on Canyon Road at Mulholland Drive. Johnny tells the male victim to take it easy; his position is much more precarious than his injuries. During the rescue, Captain Stanley is injured by a fallen power line, the resulting explosion and brush fire. Hank Stanley turns out to be an impatient patient; but his absence allows the guys to take a more "hands on" approach regarding the food issue with Chet. — LA-Lawyer (on IMDB) Conducting a fire inspection, Roy and John rescue a diver in a fish tank. A birthday boy eats raw dough and gets a stomachache. An experiment in firefighter nutrition becomes an obsession for Chet. A woman goes into labor while her mother experiences chest pains. Capt. Stanley is severely injured when he gets an electric shock from a fallen power line. (from here again) Thoughts: The guys are discussing an upcoming health programm from HQ and a doctor's visit soon when they are sent to some inspections. At Marineland, Roy and Johnny find all to their satisfaction but stumle a bit later on a guy who got stuck under water. They quickly help out and well, get wet - and hungry. Back at the station, Dr. Morton speaks with them all about their food and suggests a diet programme but first there's Mike's chicken and ice cream for dessert. Unfortunately, the squad gets called out to a boy who was eager to eat his bread before his birthday, so he has a stomach ache, yet Johnny promises him to get back before the birthday cake is cut. lol Returning to the station, Roy and Johnny find all good food gone while Chet is reading a book on diets. Well, the obsession begins. With just fruits and all, the guys are hungry - literally. The next call brings the station to a heart attack victim but soon Johnny and Roy have another victim at their hands. The mother is the heart attack while the daughter has suddenly gone into labor, and at Rampart the paramedics look out for Dr. Morton, begging for some help with Chet's diet obsession - and meditation. Ouch! At the station, Roy and Johnny check out their colleagues and are satisfied when the last call brings them to a man trapped in a car, yet the power lines are down. Soon enough, Captain Stanley gets electroluted and while Johnny treats the first victim, Roy tends to their captain. Mike takes over the command, and well, it gets all done - fire out, victims to the hospital. There, Cap really wants to get quickly to his men while at the station, Dr. Morton checks all vitals and speaks with Chet about the fireman's meal situation. So, in the end, Chet serves a meal with the last of veggies and all, and well, Mike, Johnny, Roy and Marco gang up on him - with his meal! Yikes. Some pics: And a Gif today: And from yesterday's episode (I knew there was one): Some pics and gifs are from Tumblr again and well, the others from the open Internet.
Well, Chet seems to like to go with anything, no matter the consequences - and even too much for his colleagues. Ouch. See you tomorrow!
