I don't understand how or why anyone likes this show. The acting is so deadpan it needs a defibrillator. The predictable plots are a guaranteed yawn inducer. You KNOW the rescue's going to be successful, and nobody ever croaks.Action? Nelson Riddle's score is the most exciting thing on this show, and I often wonder how often he fell asleep while conducting it. Only a laugh track would respond to the heavy handed attempts at humor - and the show doesn't even provide that. In most TV sitcoms there is at least one actor that goes on to greater things - even "The Facts of Life" featured George Clooney in a few final episodes, and Will Smith seems to have done pretty well for himself. But the guys on "Emergency"? Randolph Mantooth is WAY down the line in the cast of an episode of "Ghost Whisperer", and Keven Tighe was in "My Bloody Valentine". This was evidently Julie London's crowning achievement - she never did another thing after this show. So why am I watching it? My wife LOVES this show - and if I expect to get any tonight, I had better show a little interest too.
