in a way and jack webb clone his adam 12 success with this series in 1972. the setting and cast be different and i mean how can anyone with a colorful name like randolph mantooth fail . the regular on this series provide some spark for sure a like the adam 12 team they provide some of the spark for this show too . another similar thing be the action . be set in a fire house and on the street often on call and emergency have it fair share of action sequence . most of them be very well do too . one difference between this and adam 12 be that it be set in a 60 minute format so the story could be big and more extensive . this have to be an easy sell to nbc exec and a you have the experienced jack webb production team who seem to endlessly come up with good action story and endlessly keep find cast member that play off each other well . this show be a very good show . once again and rerun heaven for it might be establish once it be release on dvd and a it might pick up some fan .
