Great, but this one is really - weird. S03E13 Understanding or Persuaded (German) Summary: John gives Chet his guitar. At an explosive structure fire, a girl's horse is trapped in a burning barn. Dr. Brackett and Nurse McCall lecture a man who keeps forgetting his insulin shots. A girl calls the hospital, threatening suicide; firemen stand by while hospital workers attempt to trace the call. A hostage in a bank robbery has heart problems; the paramedics must treat him at gunpoint. — Anonymous (on IMDB) Chet's learning how to play Johnny's guitar, so Johnny bestows it to him. Dixie gives a man a strict lecture about forgetting his insulin shots. When a woman calls the hospital threatening suicide, Dixie and Dr. Brackett keep her talking, while Johnny and Roy track her down. During a bank robbery, the paramedics are forced to treat a hostage with heart problems at gunpoint. (from here again) Thoughts: The squad returns and Captain Stanley asks the guys to stop Chet playing guitar. Johnny's guitar. He listens first before trying to deal with him but in the end, Johnny simply gives Chet his guitar. Immediately the station is called to a structure fire where horses are involved. The crew has trouble getting the fire down, and all horses are saved with the owner and Johnny and Roy. Only one remains in the barn but Cap let them try one more time and they manage, to the happiness of the horse's owner. The cause of the fire was a home-distilled schnapps. At Rampart, Dr. Brackett, and later Dixie, deals with a man who always forgets his insulin shots and well, he gets a lecture. Meanwhile, a girl has called the hospital, threatening with suicide and at first Dr. Brackett tries to get the girl talking but leaves without information. Soon enough, Dixie is involved, along with the fire department to find the right address. With Dixie's talking and the 70s version of a computer, they find it and save the woman on time. Oh, Johnny has a new nurse spotted but she's not interested in him. The last call brings the squad to a bank where a man has a heart attack, yet a robbery is happening. There's the gun problem again and well, both Johnny and Roy treat their patient with contact to Rampart but no possibility for transport. While Roy checks the other hostages and talks with the police, Johnny speaks to the other robber, trying to convince him of a better strategy what to do with all the money. And boy, can he talk - that much that the robbers decide to give up. Roy is just left speechless, and Johnny is Johnny. lol Some pics: There were more on IMDB, yet I had to use the ones from Tumblr again. See you tomorrow!

Thought so. S03E14 Computer Error or The Error (German) Summary: John gets a credit card bill for $842 (should have been $8.42) after taking a girl on a date, and the station (and Dixie) hear all about it. The firemen rescue a young couple from a traffic accident; the boy has a spinal cord injury and the girl may be pregnant and Dr. Early is reluctant to take x-rays until her condition is determined. Later the paramedics help a woman that fell into an old well, a magician trapped in a safe, and a man trapped in an junkyard fire that turns explosive when stored ammunition starts going off. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) John tries to get a credit card mistake corrected. A young couple is rescued from a car wreck; the boy has a spinal cord injury and Dr. Early suspects the girl is pregnant. Roy and John rescue a woman trapped at the bottom of a well and an amateur magician from a safe. A rescue at a junkyard fire turns hazardous when phosphorus materials explode. (from here again) Thoughts: Johnny has a problem with his credit card which was charged wrong. Instead of $8.42 there are $842, and well it goes on. The first rescue brings the station to a young couple in a traffic accident. The young woman, Marsha, sat behind her boyfriend, Fred who might be paralyzed. Both side of parents are not happy, yet Marsha decides to let her father know she's pregnant and wants to stay with Fred. Meanwhile, Johnny tries to correct the mistake with the credit card company by phoning when everyone else, Roy and Dixie, tell him to solve it via a letter. The next call brings the station to a woman who was doing her house chores when she was swallowed down the earth. Johnny looks into her and with some help of ladders, the crew frees her but otherwise, she's normal. Again a phone call, this time for Johnny, and the amount has doubled up. Oh man. The squad then gets a call to a magician trapped into his own safe. Let's say, the guys do everything they could while the wife worries. To their astonishment, the magician frees himself while Johnny and Roy play around a bit and quickly flee when the man gets angry at his wife. The problem is still not solved for Johnny and all wonder what a date it was with only $8.42 paid. Mmh, I wonder too. Never mind, the last call brings the station to a fire on a junkyard where a man is trapped and very explosive ammunition is. Marco gets hurt and Cap and Johnny bring him out, yet Johnny takes a blanket to still free the man with Roy what they achieve. The next shift all is taken care of for Johnny. Only Roy tells him that on the blanket a bullet hole was found. Near Johnny's head. Oh boy! Very close, again. Guest stars: Audrey Landers - Marsha Don Most - Fred Some pics: I'll leave it here again. More than enough, I think. See you tomorrow!

Indeed. Was so noted in the book I recently purchased. S03E15 Inferno or Blazing Inferno (German) Summary: John and Roy are disappointed when they are the only squad not called to a major brushfire. Dixie gets her hand caught in a vending machine. A lawyer collapses in the courtroom with an apparent heart attack. Roy and John finally make it to the brushfire and become trapped while rescuing another firefighter. — Anonymous (on IMDB) Thoughts: The county deals with a major brushfire. The station gets a call to it but it is cancelled soon enough. Soon enough the engine gets out whereas the squad remains in the city. Their first call brings them to Rampart where Dixie has her hand caught in the vending machine. Dr. Morton simply supervises when Roy and Johnny come in. They are both amused at first, and so Johnyn jokes with Dixie whereas Roy works on freeing her. She is soon free and as if on cue, Dr. Early walks in wanting a cup of coffee, yet the machine doesn't work properly. Yikes! The paramedics watch TV any chance they get to be up to date on the fire. Some colleagues of them bring other firefighters in, getting them worried as well about their own crew. The next call takes the squad to a courtroom where a lawyer has collapsed during a trial. Thankfully for Roy and John, the assistant of the lawyer and the judge help them so that they can treat their patient without any interruptions. Back at Rampart, the assistant tells them that they have given him something back but are confronted with a firefighter's wife. Roy talks to her whereas Johnny checks upon their comrade. Back at the station, Roy has made a recipe of his sister and well, Johnny accepts it and Roy isn't so sure of the 'Eggs Lupin' (made up by the show, FYI). Finally, the squad is called to the brushfire but the paramedics are bored sitting in the command center. While the press officer Friend (real one!!) speaks with the press, Johnny get caught but he can't say anything. Soon enough, their engine comes, because Chet has dirt in his eyes. They clean it up and help other firefighters. As another firefighter is trapped by an overtuned tractor, Roy and Johnny can help but get trapped themselves by the fire. They free the man and dig a hole to be safe when the engine comes to help them. They free them right on time with the help of the copters bringing water down. After checking out at Rampart, all are re-united and happy to be together what Captain Stanley voices, yet the squad gets another call before they can eat. Ah man! Note: - in the "Behind the Scene" book this episode is listed as second-to-last episode - not explained why it was aired/placed to a different order Some pics: Okay, more than enough pics ... and I think I have another idea for a gif! See you tomorrow!

Yes, I guess. You can make them from pictures or video. I have software for both. S03E16 Messin' around or The Phantom (German) Summary: Chet (aka "The Phantom Bomber") nails Johnny with a number of practical jokes, for which Johnny later gets his revenge. A child is stuck in a tree house (with the tree burning underneath) and is rescued by Johnny; the girl's widowed mother takes an interest in him, all the while, Dixie takes care of her, who also has slight burns. An elderly man and frequent visitor to Rampart, "Old Bill," visits the girl. Dixie, Drs. Brackett and Early think "Old Bill" is a hypochondriac until Roy and John find him unconscious in his home with septic shock. Johnny and Roy help a moaning man after his wife gives him Dieffenbachia sap to shut him up, a gas station attendant with a perforated ulcer, a young boy who swallows ant poison and later dies--his mother thought he was just trying to "get attention"--and three men stuck after a bulldozer accident. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Chet starts a series of practical jokes against John, who eventually retaliates. A child is trapped in a tree house — and the tree is on fire; the girl’s mother later shows a romantic interest in Johnny. A retiree pretends to be ill so he can amuse the children in the emergency department. A woman feeds her sick husband Dieffenbachia sap to keep him quiet. At a trash fire, a gas station worker shows signs of a perforated ulcer. Responding to a call of a man down, the paramedics find Old Bill collapsed in his home. A young boy swallows ant poison. The firemen extricate three workers from a bulldozer accident. (from here again) Thoughts: We start with the guys wanting to eat but Johnny gets a call from his aunt and so Chet starts his 'practical jokes' with water bombs against John (or known as "The Phantom & his Pigeon"). Roy tries to stop him but it falls on deaf ears and so Johnny gets wet. The first call brings the station to a tree on fire where they find out that a young girl is trapped in a tree house. Johnny frees her and the mother mistakes him for the captain and shows interest in him. At Rampart, they meet Old Bill, a constant here, who speaks with patients and complains about constant pain, yet neither doctor takes him seriously. Back at the station, Johnny lets Captain Stanley know about the misunderstanding and well, he lets it happen. In the locker room, Johnny speaks with Chet and promptly receives another water bomb - out of his own locker. Then the station gets a call to a man who can't speak because his wife gave him a sap from a plant to shut him up. Nice way! Back at the station, the guests have arrived and Johnny plays the guide, as promised and when asked for his office, he turns to the squad. When the girl turns to the utility closets, Johnny receives another water bomb. All guys tease him. The station gets a call to an unconscious man who turns out to be Old Bill with a septic shock and now the old man gets treated at Rampart. A bit later, the squad helps the engine with a man at a gas station who refuses to be ill but he is. At the station, Chet meanwhile prepares another water bomb for Johnny, with Mike's help but he can't get it since the squad gets called to a kid who swallowed ant poison, yet his mother wouldn't believe him. Unfortunately, he pays the ultimate price for this thinking. Back at the station, Chet asks both paramedics about this incident and stops Johnny from opening the cabinet after hearing the boy has died. The last call brings the station to a junkyard where a bulldozer has fallen upon a garbage truck which injures three men but all can be saved. Back at 51, the guys settle down for a meal and Johnny asks Chet for plates and now Chet gets wet - to anyone's amusement and Johnny states that the Phantom really gets all, making all laugh. [Oh boy, have I typed a lot but I like this episode.] Some pics: I'll leave it here again. Too much again. See you later today (for me).

It was. The show has a good balance in that case. Drama, humor but also serious issues.
And it happened again. From the usual source now. Seems I like playing around now as well.

Thanks, not much reaction yet on Tumblr but it can still happen. S03E17 Fools or Wrong Diagnosis (German) Summary: A man is injured when his chimney explodes. A brash young intern at Rampart thinks he knows more than the paramedics and makes a near-fatal diagnosis of a heart patient; Dr. Brackett sends him on a ride-along with Squad 51. A girl gets her hand stuck in a mailbox. Johnny and Roy must rescue a heart attack victim trapped on an oil refinery tower - in the midst of an explosive structure fire. — Anonymous (on IMDB) Thoughts: The guys are testing the SCBA turning time for everyone when a call comes in for the station. As it turns out, they land at the wrong address which the new house owner quickly apologizes for. Cap's gaze was priceless (which I may provide later). Never mind, the call is for a man who worked on his chimney with the wrong materials and it explodes. It takes two ladders to get Johnny and Roy to their victim but they can calm him and explain what he did wrong. At Rampart, a new intern works and shows his attitude towards the paramedics when they question his diagnosis. For the man on the roof, it was his luck but at the hospital all are confronted with this and Roy has to hold Johnny back. The next call brings the squad to a heart attack victim and both have their problems to hold the bystanders back. Roy is on the phone and once again, Dr. Kent Donaldson, Jr, seems to be uncertain about the paramedics' diagnosis on field and so both Johnny and Roy agree to switch to another hospital for the right treatment. Later, Dixie finds both in the lounge and doubting and so she brings it up to Drs. Early and Brackett. Listening to the tape (old by now), Dr. Brackett decides to let the young doctor drive with the squad, much to the disappointment of Donaldson Sr. Their first call brings them to a young lady whose hand is stuck in the mailbox. Not much to do but it's their work. Back at the station, right when they want to eat, a big alarm brings them to a refinery where an explosion is still going on. On an oil tower, a man is trapped and so Johnny and Roy, with their equipment, are brought up to the tower by a snorkel and have to climb the remaining way. With that fire and all, they have to treat the patient and bring him back to life. Donaldson Jr is just baffled and gives permission for everything asked, trusting the men. Even asking Captain Stanley why they concentrate on that fire and not the other one close by. Cap says because of the man of the tower, and well, Johnny and Roy get the man back and also down, right to Rampart where Donaldson Jr wants to work with the paramedics and suggests that his old man should monitor the base station for a change. Would do him good. lol Guest stars: Bobby Sherman - Dr. Kent Donaldson, Jr Dennis Patrick - Dr. Kent Donaldson, Sr Some pics: P.S. After that experience, Bobby Sherman quit the entertainment business and became an EMT and more. Amazing! More than enough again with the pics. See you tomorrow!
