rdelisle Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Hi all. So, I've been reading on this and different sites a number of posts on NBC's "Trauma" and I've seen it compared to "Emergency" on a number of occasions. What I am proposing is that we start a web petition to bring back "Emergency". I figure if enough people sign on that perhaps the networks will clue in that the drivel they have presented so far will not suffice. If any one else agrees or is willing to attempt this PM me and we'll get the ball rolling. By the way yes I did watch the premier of "Trauma" and now my wife won't let me watch it again with her in the room because I was grousing and complaining so much, lol.

JakeEMTP Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 As long as it's not based in L.A. They still operate like Johnny and Roy did 35 years ago there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Instructor Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am stuck between the yes and no. Personally, I think it should come back on selected channels, but not in updated form. Keep it original. Use it as a training film for yourself to decide what you would do in today's standards or local protocols. Watch it on Hulu.

Dustdevil Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 By "bring it back", do you mean the reruns, or to resume production of new episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdelisle Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 New episodes, perhaps with some of the old crew reprising roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic One Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 In it's day it was a good show but with todays tech savy EMSer's it would be a flop. I do enjoy watching the episodes on Hulu tv but to have it run on a prime channel would waste time and made EMS look old. They need to revive the dicovery health show "Paramedics".

Just Plain Ruff Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Trauma is the new emergency - Hollywood style. Give anything good to hollywood and they will F it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRPinNEPA Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) The sad thing is that when Trauma receives an epic blow from the cancelhammer, it will probably be because Hollywood said "Guess people don't want a paramedic show", not "We should tweak this thing and make it more realistic", basically destroying the hopes of a new Emergency! even being thought of. EDIT: How could NBC do such a good job with Third Watch but manage to FUBAR BUNDY Trauma? Edited October 2, 2009 by EMTinNEPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewfc19 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 ... EDIT: How could NBC do such a good job with Third Watch but manage to FUBAR BUNDY Trauma? Third Watch was never great.... but it and ER both made an effort to be plausible and medically correct to a degree in the beginning. As the years passed, they got bad. Oh... and Third Watch's first 2 seasons are out in DVD. I'm slowly watching them though NetFlix as I have free time. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
