Emergency! (1972)

The 1972 Emergency! gives its paramedic partners and the hospital staff a clear chain of dependence: information has to pass between the people at the scene and those directing treatment. That communication remains an absorbing part of its older case-driven format. Choose it for a vintage television view of coordinated rescue work, with a calmer rhythm than many current action dramas. It provides a distinct historical contrast to the modern station ensembles.
