Emergency +4 - s01e09 -Oil Well!

Original Airdate: November 3, 1973

[@johnharris6655]

This was like Emergency meets Scooby doo. I don't know any fire departments that would let 4 kids tag along to a fire. Randolph Mantooth was not a fan but he said back then a Paycheck was a paycheck.

[@tjb948]

Relax it’s a cartoon.😂😂

[@clintabbott5327]

…and made to trigger kids interest, hence from the comments below it did for a whole generation of us in industrial or paramedicine.

[@patrickols]

Back in the 70’s we were allowed to do things unlike today

[@mikefagan6840]

Watched it as a kid, along with the Saturday night show , and became a medic and served 25 years in the NYC 911 system. 🤎🤘🚑🚑🚓🚓

[@74Spirit1]

The cartoon world lost a good voice.

[@johnalang]

They DID NOT have a firepole at Station 51`

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

Granted they didn't but I guess that it's for dramatic affect. Love from Marysville California KMG 365

[@coolbear6441]

Johnnys first station-I think it was 10-had a fire pole

[@MsDoItAll82]

@@coolbear6441It was Station 10.

[@mattyp7582]

I was three years old and I remember every episode. The catalyst to a beautiful career in the fire service.

[@mom369222]

I was such a fan of this show. I think I watched every episode, plus the real EMERGENCY, and there was even a magazine on the show, and I remember how much i wanted one. I finally got my wish.

[@michl4800]

Love the real show couldn't make it through an episode of this

[@HeidiCharlesLeon]

Im an animator and it has been my dream to make animations. Emergency has always been my favorite show. I never knew they tried to make animations on the show! This is amazing

[@wwetnabamafan194]

All that time, I thought this was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

[@DiggerjohnKansas]

I remember watching this as a little kid and now it dawns on me - the kid is driving a truck.

[@EdgarCPrice]

I actually worked as an EMT with the Goldsboro Fire Department, in Goldsboro NC. I did the Emergency Medical Service under the Fire Department. We did train with the fire personal. My Dad was a fire engineer. He stayed with the fire truck and ran the pumps. The real show was very close to the real thing. Yes I started IV:s actually I done indotractial intubations in the field. I watch the real show every chance I get.

oh good for you nerd

@@justincase7937 You have a problem Sir. Were you an EMERGENCY Medical Technician ? Well I'm waiting? Were you a firefighter, Well I am waiting?

I don't remember the cartoon Emergency, thanks 4 uploading it.

[@colefd]

I was about 4 y/o and remember it...50 yrs later, killer soundtrack!

[@rockweedgirl]

Wow, I remember this show well, even though I couldn't watch it because I had other commitments at the day and time it was on. I was SO in love with Johnny Gage, it was actually painful. I dreamed about him for decades! In fact, all the girls in my junior high were as painfully in love with him as I was. Oh the stories I could tell! So glad to finally get a chance to watch it, thank you!!!

[@jimharper8286]

Wow!!!! Johnny finally got to drive to a call.
🤣🤣🤣

[@sethwilson6380]

He’s gotten to drive a few times, like I’m the lighter than air man episode

[@sandyr5999]

Bravissimo dudes!! This was like Emergency meets Scooby-doo. Featuring the talents of guest star John Stephenson the legendary Hanna-Barbera fella.

[@stevekaczmarczyk9701]

I still watch the show at 1 everyday

[@karentruempy397]

I had no idea they had an animated show! I'm freaking out right now!!!

[@LoneRanger5150]

Never missed the show on Saturday night. Just visited the museum in bellflower and it is awesome!!!

[@arober9758]

Very good job fellows!! Love this cartoon version of Emergency, watch live action weekdays on Cozi TV.

[@jeff-kmg3655]

Johnny was driving the Squad

[@dcdrew3]

Noticed that too. IDK if they did that in every episode, but It might be a way of evening that out. lol.

[@coolbear6441]

Couple of changes I finally noticed..their turnout coats and helmets were always in the squad; here they show them in the closet area…

[@julymiller2308]

Always did think Emergency! was Memorable entertainment TeleVision. Now I can safely say... So is their cartoon.

[@larryhankins7466]

Good times great tv unlike todays

[@jeffreywright2294]

I remember that!!

Amazing work!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎈🎈😁💁👅🤠❤️👍🤠💗

[@maryespinoza2632]

I loved watching the actual/non-animated TV series when it first came out in the '70s, and I'm glad I get to watch three back-to-back episodes on COZI TV now. I'm really surprised that my husband and I don't remember the animated show. 🤔

[@davidalexander8305]

🧙‍♂️☕♥️😁👍 it brought back a lot of memories

[@BreakTime10101]

This was so cheesy, but they don’t make cartoons like this anymore, these were great back in the day.

[@shannonlykins1630]

I remember watching this cartoon on Saturday mornings i love it and the real show also wish i could have the model kit of squad 51

[@mom369222]

I wish they'd bring this back since it showed that everybody COULD work together to get a job done, black, and white, boys, anad girls! Thepeopleoftoday could take a few lessons from this shopw!

[@syxepop]

Figuring this was '70s Hanna-Barbera's "limited animation" style and the source material (the live-action drama on the air at the time) these cartoons were actually well made for the era (had to have the "kids team" and the animals in there, both "very '70s:).
Probably Comcast (they might own the cartoon copyrights, as it was Universal's IP) forgot that these even existed 'cause I haven't seen these anywhere else (don't remember these being dubbed into Spanish either, as the live-action series was).

[@THETexxStarr]

Dang!!! I forgot about this!!!!

[@stephenholloway6893]

Sounds like John Stephenson guest stared in the episode.

[@williamstebbins7294]

I never seen this show but, remember it being on the fall preview show.

[@scootch7]

So bad it's goo-so bad. RIP Mr. Hansen.

[@chaunceywallace54]

They made a cartoon out of THIS show?OMG

[@hannibalheyes339]

All's well, ends well

[@ioletmcfarland3017]

I have a high ranking for watching this show on the television and on the tablet and I watch rescue 911, e.r. with Tony Edward's but on the show he went by Mark Greene, soaps general hospital, Amsterdam m.d. tacoma general hospital 🏥, marybridge hospital and medical center, and more eccsetra

[@shellyblanchard5788]

I don't think they ever showed it where I live. 😕

[@transformers4866]

So 51 has a truck Company now ok

[@scottkessler9881]

I thought this was dumb when I was a kid. Still think so today.

[@ericmadsen7470]

I never knew there was a cartoon based on EMERGENCY.

[@chrismayer3919]

Made by Hanna-Barbara in the mid 70s 🚨

[@syxepop]

In the '70s and early '80s there were many cartoons made out of live-action dramas or sitcoms on the air, often using the same actors voicing the characters.

[@syxepop]

@@joelsmith3797 - that was Filmation, then H-B's biggest competitor in made-for-TV cartoons. Also using the same voicing actors as TOS.

[@christopherg9806]

"Squad 51. Mr. Gage and Mr. DeSoto!" "With all that action, it got to be big trouble." Yes, because they only respond to BIG calls. Not that trivial stuff. Man, these voice actors read their scripts like they WANT to sound like cartoon characters.

[@jimbob1800]

So cheesy gauge will try and keep the crowd back okay that'll help

[@brookcrowley4254]

Is this the only animated TV series Universal Television ever made?

[@talkieful1710]

I remember getting up at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Aw. I loved when at the end the real actors would have a quick promo of first aid stuff. Was 10 when God cartoon came out.

[@chrismayer3919]

One of the WAY early Hanna-Barbara series. Not bad but I still prefer the live-action series 🚒

[@syxepop]

By the time this cartoon was on the air (mid '70s?) H-B had been making cartoons for TV for over a decade (since 1958) already and were the largest producer of made-for-TV (non-theatrical) cartoons.
The OG's of both The Flinstones and The Jetsons were from way before this (Huckleberry Hound and Ruff N' Ready were a couple of their first cartoons).

Good stuff!
