Indeed, and both docs were right to be upset. New day, new season. S03E01 Frequency or No Chance (German) Summary: John's policeman friend is injured and later dies from a car accident; the delay in treatment due to another Squad tying up the bio phone frequency with a heart case leads Roy to speculate if the delay may make a difference later. The doctors treat a child who turns out to be drunk. Thanks to Dr. Brackett and Dixie, Johnny and Roy assist in treating opposing members of a bike gang after a bloody rumble, and it spills over into the ER. When Johnny's policeman friend is injured in a car crash, the paramedics can't reach the hospital because another squad is using the biophone. Other rescues include a man that welded himself inside his own kinetic art sculpture, and a father and son trapped in a building collapse at a construction site. — Gary Richard Collins II on IMDB The squad has to share a biophone with other units which leads to problems when a policeman friend of John's gets injured in a car crash. Other cases include a drunk child, a motorcycle gang war, whom John and Roy treat in the hospital, with the help of Dr. Brackett and Dixie, and an artist trapped in his own sculpture. (from here again) Thoughts: Johnny and Roy are working on the squad and are observed by Boot. During one switch of tools, Boot manages to steal the screwdriver and well, the guys try to get it back as the klaxons sound to a car accident. Arriving at the scene, Johnny notices that it's his friend Drew while Roy is on the biophone. At Rampart, Dr. Brackett deals with more incoming calls and so has to make priorities for the calls. Unfortunately, this means then later Drew's death which Johnny tells his wife and child. It makes him upset as well since Roy seems to have no tact when meeting again after two days off. This last performance calls for a meeting of all squad units at Rampart where Dr. Brackett explains the future plans of how to handle all incoming calls and the infos from the paramedics on scene. Dr. Early and Dr. Morton treat a young boy who has drunk a bottle of vodka by accident - the youngest drunk! lol As Dixie asks for a cup of coffee from Johnny and Roy, she gets a call of two incoming opposing biker gangs and asks for help from the paramedics which they provide. Well, after this Johnny has decided to sell his own bike. The next call brings the squad, along with the engine, to a man who has trapped himself in his art sculpture. Johnny immediately likes it and asks for a smaller one at their station whereas Roy has the idea to pull up the sculpture and free the man with the engine. It works. Their last call brings again the whole station to a construction site where a father and son are trapped in a building collapse. They call to Rampart which takes care of three rescues then and in the end, they manage to save all (or almost)*. And 51 gets their gift from the artist which pleases everyone, except Roy. *during the scene it was stated one squad lost one, yet at the end all survived Some pics: As a bonus: That's about it, I guess. See you tomorrow!

lol Today I decided to check on Youtube for 'Emergency!' and well, found some snipplets of an interview with Randy Mantooth about the show. Interesting was that when asked of how much Johnny he was or the other way around, he didn't know what to answer first. Maybe I post some links in between when I rewatch the episodes in English again. Will be a break here.

Well, some changes but good ones, I think. S03E02 The Old Engine or Two real Enthusiasts (German) Summary: Station 51 gets their new fire engine, which gets put to use during a junkyard fire, while there Roy and John buy an older engine they found there. The paramedics try to help a woman strung out on LSD and have to chase her down to the top of a building when she flees. The base station at Rampart is upgraded with a new transmitter and radio to better manage the Squad traffic. Dr. Brackett, along with Dixie, both treat a gunshot victim, who later undergoes surgery, and wants to walk out immediately afterwards, meanwhile the paramedics treat a politician suffering from a heart attack, and the station responds to a warehouse fire. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) John and Roy buy an old fire engine just as the squad itself gets a new one. Dr. Brackett and Dixie treat a man suffering from a gunshot wound, who wants to walk out of the hospital immediately after surgery. Cases include a woman overdosing on acid, a politico suffering a heart attack, and a warehouse fire. (from here again) Thoughts: So, 51 gets a new engine for the station, yet the squad is missing when they are called to a junkyard fire. Upon getting the fire out, Roy notices first an old fire truck. A bit later, Johnny does the same and has an idea which Roy dismisses at first. It doesn't take long John to convince Roy to buy the old fire engine and bring it to their station. Discussing this with Chet and Marco, there are some arguments, yet when Cap comes and says that the engine has to be tied here, Roy and Johnny are not happy but well, they will make the best out of it. The next call brings the squad to a young woman with an OD. Her roommate is not helping, and so soon Johnny is chasing the young lady whereas Roy follows in the squad. They bring her to Rampart where Johnny treats his minor cut on the elbow on his own and both paramedics see the changes to the communication center there. They are impressed. A bit later, Dr. Brackett, Dixie and Dr. Early treat a man with a gunshot wound, yet the man has his own plans after surgery - getting out to real food. Jesus! Well, the next call brings the squad to a politician suffering a heart attack but the housemaid seems to have been convinced that all was God's doing and with that has delayed proper medical care. At Rampart, the man dies. At 51, before that, the guys test the engine - with no success and afterwards, they check the inside - not good. Their last call brings the station to a warehouse fire where a captain breaks in and the paramedics have to save him before they might get caught in the fire themselves. Later that night, when Roy brings the trash out, he finds his partner looking at the old engine. He and Johnny are sure to get the old engine running again and give it a new old life, no matter how many hours they might invest. Guest star: Laurette Spang (again) as the roommate Some pics: More than enough, and the last three are of the Rampart staff as noticed. lol And well, boys and their toys! See you tomorrow!

Will have, better! The old engine will be a constant in later seasons, and last season, S02E14, there was a brief scene with it as well.

Then you should take the opportunity to watch it again, like I do. I know that I last saw it maybe 10 or 15 years ago. I really can't remember.

So, here we go again. S03E03 Alley Cat or All for the Cat (German) Summary: John discovers he's going to be a father... to kittens... when a pregnant stray cat appears on his bed, and Boot the Dog is not happy about the cat being there. The paramedics rescue a family involved in a plane crash; the father dies, the mother and young daughter are injured, and a grizzled junk dealer who got his foot stuck in a bear trap. A stage actress is suffering from tachycardia after getting a bad review of her performance, where Dr. Brackett takes care of her, while Dixie talks to the husband. The firemen assist a child sickened by a gas leak at a school and rescue a man involved in a boating accident. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) A stray cat decides to have her kittens on Johns bed at the station. A family is trapped in a down airplane. An old man gets his foot caught in a bear trap. A stage actress suffers an anxiety attack. A school develops a gas leak. Roy and John rescue the victim of a boating accident. (from here again) Thoughts: The guys are talking at the station when Roy comes to get Johnny saying that a cat has taken residence on his bed and Boot was not helping either, for John. This got on hold when the station is called out to a plane crash. The father does not survive but mother and daughter. At Rampart, the mother immediately goes to surgery whereas Dixie takes care of the young daughter meanwhile. At the station, the guys prepare everything for the upcoming birth with tearing newspapers apart and Chet interrupts with missing the sports section and so all read aloud what they have. Very amusing part, yet soon enough the squad gets called out again to a man who has trapped his own leg in a bear trap. Johnny and Roy free him and suggest that he gets a tetanus shot. The old doctor is not sure but thankful still and wants to get the men something. Now the paramedics are not sure yet Johnny suggests a sale for the junkyard. lol Back at the station, Johnny smoothes things over with Boot but the cat has also born five kittens and so there's the next problem: what to do with them? All decline politely and Johnny is lost. At Rampart, meanwhile a stage actress has been brought by her husband after a bad critic and well, Dr. Brackett and Dixie have to smooth things over. The station then gets called out to a gas leak at a school where a boy got sick - which is quickly taken care of, yet the boy gets a treatment at the hospital. The last call brings the squad to a boat rescue where a man is trapped by a boat accident. The guys have a lot to do but they manage. In the end, the cat has gone again with her kittens, yet Johnny still wants to put out a milk bowl - just in case. Sweet! Some pics: A bit mixed up at the end but well, it was funny to watch. See you tomorrow!

Of course, Johnny is a good guy. Oh, and here now a new intro with snipplets and the firemen have become firefighters. S03E04 An English Visitor or A Colleague and Gentleman (German) Summary: A paramedic from England rides with Roy & John to observe the paramedic program at work, and is present during a fire caused by a molotov cocktail thrown at a policeman, helping a wild-west performer with an injured finger, a traffic accident involving a car loaded with marijuana, and a man trapped in a construction site; during the rescue John nearly falls off a scaffold and the visitor saves his life. A rock singer, who is brought into the ER in a diabetic coma complicated by pneumonia, and her manager is more concerned with the money lost than her well being, complicated by a nurse with a bad attitude impacting the patients, as well as Dixie and Dr. Early. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) A British paramedic arrives in Los Angeles to observe the squad's routine and ends up saving John's life. At the hospital, Drs. Brackett and Morton treat a rock singer in a diabetic coma and Dixie confronts a headstrong nurse who clashes with Dr. Early. (from here again) Thoughts: The guys have an English paramedic as a guest who should see how they work. He's immediately thrown in as they are called to a fire where a policeman got hurt by a thrown molotov cocktail. Somehow, Johnny and Jason Channing, their guest, are immediately at a standoff as Jason seems to have the same interests at Rampart like Johnny - the nurses! The next call brings the squad to a wildwest performer who accidently shoots his wife and tries then again but misses his target, again. Johnny gets upset and takes the gun away and all are shocked with his behavior, yet the man agrees to be too old for this job. Meanwhile, at Rampart a rock singer comes in a diabetic coma, yet her manager just sees the money, not the person. It takes some time for Dr. Brackett to get through the man. A new nurse, Sheila, makes some complications with her attitude but after she proves herself, all is good. Ah well, a call takes the station to a car accident where the driver is trapped in. It didn't take out long to figure out why. The truck is full of pot and some men have smoked it in. The reaction is cool. Their last call brings the station to a man trapped in a construction site. Roy treats the man whereas Johnny and Jason get the equipment. The first one works well but the second one lets nearly Johnny fall of a scaffold but Jason is there to save him. The rest of the crew is just stunned, yet neither Johnny nor Jason tells Roy what happened. In the end, Jason gets his date and Johnny the truth about Jason who saved eight people alone in the UK and this journey is his reward. You can guess Johnny's reaction. Guest star: Stanley Kamel as Harry Rivers (manager) Some pics: I'll leave it here. No episode tomorrow! See you on Wednesday! P.S. My double feature will be on Saturday, I think.

I love it when there's action paired with humor. S03E05 Heavyweight or Fined (German) Summary: Johnny injures his shoulder during a rescue of a pregnant woman in labor. When the baby's born with a cleft palate, she's determined to give him up for adoption, until Dixie and Dr. Brackett speak with her. Dr. Morton reads Johnny the riot act about his physical condition, which starts the paramedic on a fitness regimen. Dr. Early treats the son of a drug-addicted mother who suffered an electric shock putting a screwdriver into a TV. The paramedics treat a stabbing victim and the man he shot; then the police have to talk the son out of shooting the man who shot his father. Johnny & Roy rescue a hang glider pilot stuck in a tree. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) At a structure fire, the paramedics rescue a pregnant woman and Johnny injures his shoulder. After going into labor, the guilt-ridden mother is determined to abandon her deformed baby. Dr. Morton treats Johnny and gives him a bad time about his physical condition, sending Johnny on a fitness kick. Dr. Early treats an electrocuted child whose mother is on drugs. The son of a stabbing victim is more determined to shoot the assailant than get his father to the hospital. Roy and Johnny rescue a hanglider pilot trapped in a tree. (from here again) Thoughts: We start with the guys discussing the meals when the station is called out to a structure fire. Roy and Johnny split up, and Roy finds a pair with a pregnant woman. Inside, Johnny helps the others with moving furniture but injures his shoulder. Chet and others notice but Johnny, like always, dismisses it. At Rampart, the woman gives birth to a baby, yet it has a cleft palate what the woman sees as her punishment. Her husband, Dr. Brackett and Dixie help the young people. Meanwhile, Roy asks for a doctor for his partner and they get Dr. Morton. Needless to say, Johnny is not happy with being called 'soft' and starts a fitness related eating trip. End result later. Dr. Early treats a child who got electroluted by the TV whereas his mother was on a trip. The next call brings the squad to a minor feud I'd say. At first they find the shot man and a bit later a stabbing man, called by the son. Roy treats the shot man whereas Johnny the other one. As Johnny gets to know the medical history of the man, they can help him quickly as well as the other one. Yet the son of the stabbing man had briefly other options but they could convince him to lower the gun. At 51, Chet works on his cooking skills and gets for Johnny an extra menue. Well, he's saved for the moment as the squad gets called out to a hanglider trapped in a tree. Since Johnny is a 'leightweight' he goes up and orchestrates the rescue which works perfectly - and you don't have to be Schwarzenegger, he said. lol Back at the station, he surprises Chet and Roy with a big sandwich, from his Indian heritage, and the others just leave and Johnny is missing mayonnaise on his sandwich. Typical - for him. Some pics: That's about it here with the pics and tomorrow then one of my fav episodes! See you then!
