I’ve been watching the first season of Emergency! on Hulu.com, the television drama that aired from 1972-1978. I grew up watching this show on Saturday nights, but all I really remembered was the paramedics acting goofy when off-duty. I’d forgotten how compelling the rescue stories are, so I’m having a good time revisiting this series.
It’s amusing (and painful) seeing the horrible seventies clothing, hair and decor once again. I’m especially impressed by Nurse Dixie’s apartment, shown here in season 1, episode 5: Dealer’s Wild. My father loved the color gold, so I had to endure a lot of it growing up. Nothing like this, though! Check out the great outfits, too. Ah, the seventies. Fun to visit, but I’d never want to go back…
