Emergency!
Does anyone besides me wish they would re-make the old TV series Emergency! as a modern TV show?
Don't get me wrong, I love Rescue Me, and liked Thrid Watch, but I can't watch them with my kids. I think if Emergency was remade with today's firefighters, EMTs and Paramedics are the basis, a more family-friendly yet realistic, action-packed and inspiring show could be produced.
If it was done well, I'm sure every firefighter in the Country would want their family to watch, and inspire the next generation of Firefighters and Medics.
Times change, and what was cutting-edge in the 1970's is kind of Hokie by today's standards. I think there's still enough of us Fans of Roy & Johnnie out there who would like to see it remade with modern cameras, good scripts and realistic firefighting action.

I just got the 1st season DVD's!!! They rock!!! They should do a re-make that is as close to the real thing as possible. Don't get me wrong, Third Watch and Rescue Me are great, but there are story lines there that have nothing to do with the job, and they tend to dominate the show. By the way, does anyone remember a fire service show in the 80's, possibly had Lorne Greene in it?

No doubt there are better programs wiht on-scene footage, and I love those. But Emergency!, Third Watch and other programs are for entertainment as well as education (Okay more for entertainment), and give the general public a small insight into what we do.
Emergency! did that best, for its day, and kept the non-fire service/Paramedic story lines to a minimum.
While real-life footage is more exciting for us, as Fire Service professionals, and much more educational, they're not going to win the hearts and minds of the public, and they're not going to make a 5 year-old want to grow up to be a Firefighter or a Paramedic.

There was a remake.
It was called "Third Watch".
It lasted two seasons.
There's always "Rescue Me" if you can get paste Leary's twisted sex fantasies.
