This was about five years after Julie London's retirement from public life. Aside from one brief recording session in 1981, Julie became downright reclusive after Emergency ended. Even at the heights of her long career, she always preferred the quiet, intimate company of close friends and family, and in the end, unlike many other celebrities of the time, I think she got exactly what she wanted. While she's best remembered by the boomer generation for her time on Emergency, I think her heart was really in her music, and several of her albums are truly fantastic. Sadly, her music was largely overlooked owing to her being pigeonholed as a pinup girl. She had an incredible but understated talent.
My life was saved by EMT's just recently! Someone slipped me "fentynal" and basically left me for dead! I made sure that I went and thanked the guys at the local fire station for saving my life. The fentynal I injested was in a vape pipe!
@@ameliadiaz8040 … Yep! Kelly Brackett. My sister and I met him in Bakersfield, California in 1973. He was just as gorgeous in person as he was on film.
It´s a little christmas present for all Emergency! fans out there! It´s rare to find footage and i know many fans would love to see it! Thanks for all the nice coments! All my best! Paramedic51 :)
This is a rare find. So glad to learn that they all got along so well together. They had such great chemistry on-screen and it's great that it was genuine.
The episode where Johnny insists he hears something rattling in the squad that Roy doesn't hear, and Roy suggests: "Maybe it's the loose seeds in your gourd." It was almost 50 years between the first time I saw that show and the most recent (I may have seen it in between, but I don't recall), but I remembered that line and it still made me burst out laughing.
4:41 Bobby Troup is absolutely spot on. It did so much to grow the paramedics programs across the country. Something we all take for granted today. Back then there was no 911. You called your local fire house.
Oh HELL yes!!! Love Ol Roy DeSoto( Kevin) whatta actor. Also remember and LOVE the episode (smoke eater ) where Ol Kel Brackett Knocked out a biker. GREAT OLD SHOW!!!
Getrealpeeps i love emergency i still watch despite the old protocols regarding CPR and that california has different protocols than louisiana. the cool thing is the ambulance company I'm affiliated with as a explorer started a year before Emergency which started in 1972 (I'm with Acadian Ambulance which started in 1971)
My wife, a nurse practitioner, and I grew up watching Emergency. My wife seems to have A LOT of Dixie McCall (Julie London) built right into her and I wouldn't trade her for all of the gold in Fort Knox!
Damn, this was 11 years old...... my lord. Well I’m a lil late to the party but thank you for posting. I grew up in carson and I was a la county fire explorer and we would have our post meetings at 105s, 36 and sometimes 127 (where squad 51 were based at) and 116s by Dominguez hills. Also harbor UCLA medical (rampart) was my hospital for many years as a kid. Lots of bad memories though but funny memories later in life when I grew up I got my emt in 1998 and would always drop off there. Just a little cruise down memory lane. Thank you for uploading this
Once again you have made my day! Thank you for posting this. Nothing like seeing them together again. How I wish the show had lasted longer. There hasn't been a show to touch it since. I find myself comparing other medical shows to it and they always fall short.
Hey Paramedic51. What a treat!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching it. I've added it to my favorites. I love watching EMERGENCY!!!!!!!
That was odd. But it shows what class Jack Webb, Julie London and Bobby Trup had. You don't see that in today's generation of actors like Alec Baldwin ...
I love this show since a little girl when my father who was a paramedic in Pennsylvania and my mother who was a register nurse in surgery room stated to watch Emergency!
Excellent show Johnny gage he's the coolest on the show and Robert Fuller he is really good. like him on the show Laramie also he is a great actor really cool and julie London was also great and pretty to bad she past away I caught these two shows when COVID hit us and I had to stay home and couldn't go to work collecting unemployment so just flickering through the channels and found these two shows when I notice Robert Fuller was on both really good TV shows I was like dam .I still watch the shows .I they take the shows Emergency andl Laramie off and on . but no worries I bought the DVDs of both so I can watch it when I feel like it.. really great shows. one of my favorites...
Emergency is the only show that I can think of that actually helped save lives. I was 4 years old when it first aired and remember mom n dad letting me "stay up late" on Saturday night to watch it. I was fascinated with Squad 51 and still have the Hot Wheels diecast. A few years later, I remember our rural town celebrating the United States Bicentennial with a HUGE parade, fireworks show AND, the introduction of our very first EMS unit. No, it wasn't a red Dodge with a utility bed. These days, it would remind you of a small, class C motorhome but, it was actually very advanced for its time. To an 8 year old farm kid back in 1976, it was pretty cool and yes, the Squad and the volunteers that operated it, helped save MANY lives in our community.
It affected me and I became a junior auxiliary of our villages volunteer ambulance squad--which came about inspired by the TV series. Before that, there was no ambulance.
According to some interviews and information I read, Randy and Kevin are still involved heavily with the Paramedic community throughout the country, including a foundation, Project 51, to raise money for a children's burn charity (according to Randy's page on wiki). While at the time of the show, there was not an active station house using that number, I heard that Universal Studios now has a real life fire house on their property, and they used 51 for the designation because of the Emergency show. Also, I have heard that for the show, the writers used actual emergency calls as the basis for what the episodes, not necessarily just L. A. County, but from all over the country. The radio call sign they used when responding to the station calls was an actual L. A. County Fire Department one. The dispatcher used on the show was a real life dispatcher for L.A. county. AND, if all of that wasn't enough realism, some of the "firemen" from Station 51 that starred in the show alongside Kevin and Randy were actually real firemen.
I enjoyed that show. I became Advanced Emt later. That show was brought up in my class. It was aired after a dr. started ALS in Belfest Northern Ireland.
Great show that offers something for everyone. The kids will enjoy the great action sequences, and the adults will love the interplay between the characters.
Wow.. This interview takes your way back... I'm something you never see anymore on live TV, and that smoking.. At the 3:48 mark.. I can remember walking through department stores smoking cigarettes... Lol.. any and every store, like Kmart or Roses.. Even in line at the bank.. But then again, that also back when gas was only $0.50 per gal and Marlboro Red cigarettes $0.55 for a pack.. I can remember when Winn-Dixie started selling socks and t-shirts and everyone thought it was funny... Lol.. Yep the good ol Days are gone.. and also back then you really didn't need to lock your doors or worry about your kids being kidnapped..
When Mr. Troup died over a decade after this, it was mentioned that, despite Jack Webb and Julie London no longer being a couple, the three of them were close friends for years.
LMAO! I was 4 years old when this interview aired. I think it's funny how it shows a shot of Bobby taking a puff on his cigarette! I think back then smoking was even allowed inside the hospitals.
He retired as a captain from LACFD a few years ago. Him and Randy Mantooth were at the Grand Opening of the Los Angeles County Fire Museum earlier this year. I think Kevin Tighe was there as well, as well as the original Squad 51 and Engine 51, both fully restored.
Randolph Mantooth just finished a new movie called BOLD NATIVE. It is really quirky. I just saw the premiere in Westwood on June 16, 2010. Definitely worth seeing!
I h-ave fond memories as a young kid who enjoyed watching the fire rescue runs and being inspired to help others who were in trouble. Randy, Kevin, Marco & cast - if you are ever in Las Vegas come by Terrible Herbst 133; the soft drinks are on me.
Yet again another great video! Thanks sooo much..... it's soooo hard to get anything related to Emergency! in Melbourne, Australia...... even our pay TV channels DON'T have it on =( I have to buy my collection on region 1 from the U.S. TOTALLY worth it though.... CAN'T wait for season 7..... do you know when it'll be released????
I love Bobby Troop smoking on the set of the interview. That would never happen today! My mother was aghast that Julie London agreed to be on Emergency. My mom was a big fan of Julie London as a very fine singer.
Robert Fuller said it in a nutshell...back then they had PLENTY of technnical advisors on board to make sure things were close to real life...Now days...that is not always the case and it shows.
MsTexas73 Were you in a beauty pageant in Texas in 1973 ? They wanted it to be as technically accurate as possible. Technical advisors were also used for the series MASH for the same reason, medival care accuracy. I was born in Texas in 1963.
Joan Lunden was gorgeous. I think was in her forties in the mid eighties (at the time this clip was filmed). The producers of GMA asked her and Charlie Gibson to leave the show then. As far as I am concerned this was a huge mistake.
emergency is a damn good tv show that still holds up today, just like adam-12 , jack webb was a genius!!! , good scripts and acting!!!
One of the few shows i can watch a number of times, and never grow tired of it. A huge staple on a saturday night.
Or any night, on DVD (winds me down before bed remarkably well)!

Loved Julie 😍..one amazing funny lady in Emergency her music and Bobby's were fantastic xx
The show that inspired many of my generation of Firefighters and Paramedics.
My life was saved by EMT's just recently! Someone slipped me "fentynal" and basically left me for dead! I made sure that I went and thanked the guys at the local fire station for saving my life.
The fentynal I injested was in a vape pipe!
They just gave all patients Ringers Lactate.....It worked!!!!
@@stevem3588
And!..
An IV of D-5W tko!
I watched emergency faithfully and never missed one episode. I have all the DVD’s and love to watch them. I love all the guys on the show .
This show was part of the reason I was credited with my first save and the fact I became a EMT.
What a great interview!! That was when GMA was good.
Love Robert Fuller!!! 🌟❤️‼️ Loved “Emergency”!!! Liked all the other cast too!!!
Uh, what's up, Doc Brackett?
@@ameliadiaz8040 … Yep! Kelly Brackett. My sister and I met him in Bakersfield, California in 1973. He was just as gorgeous in person as he was on film.

Always thought Bobby Troup was one smooth dude!! Rest Well Bobby....
he die in 1999
Bobby Troup seemed such a talented funny lovely man and really compliment Ed Julie xx
This show was awesome
I love Johnny Gage. he inspired me to fullfill aspiring to be a paramedic. This show makes me laugh so much that I always look forward to watching it.
The episode where Johnny insists he hears something rattling in the squad that Roy doesn't hear, and Roy suggests: "Maybe it's the loose seeds in your gourd."

"EMERGENCY" YOU GUY s HELPED THE 🌎 WORLD SEE HOW MUCH WE NEED GOOD HOSPITAL S😷 ,FIRE🔥 and POLICE 👮GREAT JOB !!! ROCK ON !!!...😎👍
Kind of a timeless show that is also still fun to watch for its retro aspects. That's Emergency!
i really love the show still watch the reruns on metv i love kevin tighe he is the best
I still watch it as well.... For ME it was Johnny Gage (Randy Mantooth)
Well I do too!
Getrealpeeps i love emergency i still watch despite the old protocols regarding CPR and that california has different protocols than louisiana. the cool thing is the ambulance company I'm affiliated with as a explorer started a year before Emergency which started in 1972 (I'm with Acadian Ambulance which started in 1971)

My wife, a nurse practitioner, and I grew up watching Emergency. My wife seems to have A LOT of Dixie McCall (Julie London) built right into her and I wouldn't trade her for all of the gold in Fort Knox!
Great chemistry, lots of action, heart-pounding stories, not like the crap that's on the small screen today.

Really interesting thanks xx
Watched all the shows and reruns been a Firefighter/EMT since 1978
Once again you have made my day! Thank you for posting this. Nothing like seeing them together again. How I wish the show had lasted longer. There hasn't been a show to touch it since. I find myself comparing other medical shows to it and they always fall short.
I agree x
It seems more real than the current reality medical shows.
~ I had a crush on four guys from the show, Randy, Kevin, Mike and Marco. They were hot 🔥
I remember watching this in the afternoons back in the mid 70's and then watching it prime time when I was small boy
When shows were good, not like today, and actors were real actors.
I love emergency. I just bought the collection. I've had a crush on kevin for a long time. I love his voice in this and he has a great smile.
emergency rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the show from day one back in 72 and the cast. Randy was my heartbeat and heart throb ❤️❤️ Still is.
Randy turned 78 today 🎂
He and Kevin were in Teen Beat magazine
Hey Paramedic51. What a treat!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching it. I've added it to my favorites.
I love watching EMERGENCY!!!!!!!
That was odd. But it shows what class Jack Webb, Julie London and Bobby Trup had. You don't see that in today's generation of actors like Alec Baldwin ...
Wow, I had never seen this before. GREAT INTERVIEW! That was a bunch of good looking men.
Still one of my favorite shows! 💕
I love the show I’ll watch it every night at 10 to 12 and I’m 80 years old now
I would like to see the whole entire series to the emergency TV show I love the program
Now on CoziTV every weekday!
I love this show since a little girl when my father who was a paramedic in Pennsylvania and my mother who was a register nurse in surgery room stated to watch Emergency!
THANK YOU!!!! KEVIN GETS ME EVERY TIME!

Fantastic story about great public service a wonderful show like Emergency !! Can contribute to xx
Everyone learned to start an IV with ringers lactate.
It affected me and I became a junior auxiliary of our villages volunteer ambulance squad--which came about inspired by the TV series. Before that, there was no ambulance.
It's what spurred me into the fire service.

Still today bob fuller melts my heart
Oh definitely stunning man will always love him and emergency cast xx
My mom adored him and Randy Mantooth. Pretty sure they were the main reasons she watched the show religiously.
I had an Emergency! lunch box, had a crush on Johnny😍
I had the fireman hat too. I just checked eBay and people are getting some good money for that old stuff, makes me wish I had kept mine.
Bobby was the coolest, smoking during the interview!! The good old days!
Yeah until it killed him and Julie London.
Great show that offers something for everyone. The kids will enjoy the great action sequences, and the adults will love the interplay between the characters.
God bless this show! I loved it!
Love Emergency! I still watch the reruns!
If it weren't for paramedics I would not be alive today.
George Senda Yes, paramedics and God.
@@guymorris1963 So are firefighters!

3:49 in 1986 you could smoke in the middle of a television interview! After playing a doctor!
@ 0:42 ROY DeSoto, NOT RAY DeSoto THANKS 4 POSTING
start an iv with lactate,ringers and d5w
My favorite episode was when Johnny was bit by a rattlesnake.
That was great! Thanks for uploading it!
This is a real treat. I'm glad I stumbled across this.
LMAO! I was 4 years old when this interview aired. I think it's funny how it shows a shot of Bobby taking a puff on his cigarette! I think back then smoking was even allowed inside the hospitals.
It was an awesome show, very realistic! I live 6 blocks from a firehouse, so I hear sirens even when I am not watching the show!
What a great cast
I watch this every day from 400pm and 500pm great show I wish I hand to see the cast Jacob keppler
This program saved the Country and saved thousands of lives.
I love this show Emergency I think Johnny Gage/Randolph Mantooth was hot and cute on this show he is my favorite charator.
I loved Mike Stoker he is handsome
He retired as a captain from LACFD a few years ago. Him and Randy Mantooth were at the Grand Opening of the Los Angeles County Fire Museum earlier this year. I think Kevin Tighe was there as well, as well as the original Squad 51 and Engine 51, both fully restored.
I loved this when it came out when I was a kid..I had to have a toy ambulance after seeing this show!
Love Dr. Brackett, Dr. Early, Dixie, Roy, Johnny, Cap Stanley, Marco, Stoker, Chet, and all the cast❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Randolph Mantooth just finished a new movie called BOLD NATIVE. It is really quirky. I just saw the premiere in Westwood on June 16, 2010. Definitely worth seeing!
Delightful🥰Just Wish there had been more time to hear from Robert Fuller.❤️
Good segment.

Oh my goodness, oh my gracious!
I didn’t know that Julie London (“Dixie”) & the doc we’re married in real life! Cool!
Hello friend
Yup Julie and Bobby were married from 1959 until his death in 1999. She died a year later.
I love Bobby Troop smoking on the set of the interview. That would never happen today!
My mother was aghast that Julie London agreed to be on Emergency. My mom was a big fan of Julie London as a very fine singer.
Start an IV of Ringers Lactate and transport as soon as possible!
This show emergency is on monda thrue friday at 1pm till 2pm on cozy tv network
There are two episodes on Sunday nights too for now.
Search Emergency bloopers....WOW! Bobby was a DIRTY old man LOLOLOL
KMG 365!
Sad to see the shot of Bobby smoking knowing he's gone.
Robert Fuller said it in a nutshell...back then they had PLENTY of technnical advisors on board to make sure things were close to real life...Now days...that is not always the case and it shows.
MsTexas73 Were you in a beauty pageant in Texas in 1973 ? They wanted it to be as technically accurate as possible. Technical advisors were also used for the series MASH for the same reason, medival care accuracy. I was born in Texas in 1963.
I agree especially when he had the long hair!!
Paramedics saved the life of my oldest son and myself. What would we do without them???
I like emergency and I watch it every night at 8:00pi never miss it unless I'm doing something
She was born in 1950 and thus was 35 or 36 when this was broadcast in 1986.
thought youtube might have a Where are they now for this show but couldn't find one
Joan Lunden was gorgeous. I think was in her forties in the mid eighties (at the time this clip was filmed). The producers of GMA asked her and Charlie Gibson to leave the show then. As far as I am concerned this was a huge mistake.
1986
ah the good old days.
OMG!!! i almost had a heart attack! they went to maine!!! and i missed it~! that is where im from!!! unbelievable!!! that is the closest ill get...(.
0:41 RAY Desoto? Bobby COUP? Seriously?
"Randy was flirting with the stewardesses..."
No! Really?!
That episode was on TODAY (Polar Bear episode)
I didn't know they were still making kinoscopes in the 80's.
God I love this show.
😍👍🙏
I miss this Good Morning America opening.
Rampart, this is squad 51!
Believe it or not, Emergency! was very popular in Colombia, Peru and Chile, to name a few South American countries.
I absolutely loved that show! They just don't make TV like that anymore
I just realized that Kevin Tighe played the bar owner in the movie Road House...
He was also in the movie, K9 (Jim Belushi and Jerry Lee the dog) the same year. He played the villain in that one - very much against type!
He also played a bad guy in an episode of Law & Order SVU. And come back several years later for a second appearance on another episode:
