the two docs were stiffs

Maybe they played them that way on purpose? In a way, I can imagine them seeing doctors as stiff and uptight and playing the doctors that way as a result.

Yeah, but neither of those guys was imortalized in a song by The Tubes. (How's that for obscure?)

Those guys could all be G.I. Joe dolls.

Except the guy at top left. He's been left out in the sun too long.

Rat Patrol? 3 Americans and one British Weiner.

Gomer Pyle, USMC could take them on single handed.

Apparently. :-)

it did tackle issues that were relevant in its day like the plight of the American Indian,and the overall discrimination of the Mexican American and other minorities.

I'm glad to see that they're releasing this show. I first saw it when we got cable a few years ago. TV Land pulled it from their lineup shortly thereafter, and I haven't seen it since. A shame. It was a good show (and infinitely better than the pathetic garbage they're playing now...Sanford & Son indeed!).

I'm glad to see "Emergency!" come out on DVD, maybe at some point they will be like the $1 DVD special too. TVLand is cool, but I was really mad when thy stopped their "Kitschen" show on Friday and Saturday nights where they showed the old Krofft and Filmation (Shazam/Isis) live action shows. I love a lot of the old shows they have like "Andy Griffith," "Leave it to Beaver," "Bewitched" and so on but I think it is time to give them a little rest and show other shows too like "Emergency," "Adam 12," "Airwolf," and so on.
