Have you noticed that WB seems to axe any show that seems to be doing well? this, Brats of the lost nebula, Birds Of Prey - all yanked prematurely(BOP was in the top 5 when it was pulled and replaced with a lesser program). -------------- EMERGENCY this was not - it was not SUPPOSED to be. Unlike Emergency where everybody lived happily ever after, RESCUE 77 seemed to stick more closely to actual conditions and day to day stuff. The inventiveness in saving a life when you do not have what you need, the pain when despite your best efforts the one you are trying to save dies, and yes - even the pranks and jokes that go on in a firehouse(I know - I grew up in one).
But at least i can watch it on tape, so SMEG OFF Warner Brothers! :P
