I used to watch that show when I was a kid.
I even had an Emergency lunch box when I was in the 4th grade or so.

The Emergency! lunch boxes were manufactured in 1973 by Aladdin Industries. One is in the National Museum of American History in Washington DC.

"Emergency" IMHO was the forerunner of a lot of the medical shows that followed. I look at the 911 shows that are all on now and just say that is just "Emergency" modernized with soap opera type actors.
