This show sucks!
I like many of the older shows that my parents grew up on, and they still translate nicely today.
This is NOT one of them!
How does this show have such great ratings? Must be from people who never saw another classic show or had absolutely NOTHING to watch during the years it actually aired.
This show is the epitome of watching paint dry.
The film quality looks like bad high school films of the 70s that they rehash every once in a while, like, "My body, my teeth, and myself"= or something equally cheesy that sounds obsolete.
The actors do nothing for me at all. They look like C-string losers from the start. The humor is in small doses, but these doses are empty. The drama is really, really lame. = Sirens going off for a long time, annoying people, and then they pull up on a scene where some kid with an afro is laying under a smashed ice cream truck or something. They go in and help him, like paramedics and firemen typically do, and there is some ridiculously boring side story, and resolution. =BOOM. That's literally it= the same damn thing for 500 episodes.
Not one episode stands out as different or memorable-- they all look and sound the same, with the same premise, and a script that I could have written myself while drunk at McDonald's, eating cheeseburgers.
I cannot believe the appeal and ratings listed for this show. The only eye candy was Julie London, or some guest star, and none of these actors from the main cast have ever been seen in anything famous again-- for good reason.
I used to roll my eyes and start making jokes/insults every time this comes on in reruns that my parents still watch. They would be like, "it's OK, there's nothing else on." = That sums it up, and even with NOTHING else on TV, I would rather pick lint out of my butt crack than watch this show for more than 10 mins.
There is nothing groundbreaking, except that this was one of the first shows to feature the daily routines of city cops, firemen, and rescue workers-- which has now been done to death ad nauseam by 2017.
Dragnet(so stiff it is actually comical), Adam-12, Cannon, Hawaii 5- 0, Columbo= are all WAY BETTER THAN THIS SHOW, if you are looking through classic TV show stations to watch.
