I purchased "Greatest Rescues of Emergency!" on VHS when JEMS carried it. You really see how Johnny and Roy worked together as partners, and after going through their adventures for six years, the bonding that took place. They looked out for each other, and worked as a team. My favorite line is, "Were going to be staying in touch with one another. Right, it's not like we are moving out of town or anything. We are still here, still in the same department, still friends." I was a little kid when I saw this episode on December 31, 1978, and nearly cried that Johnny and Roy were departing ways.

The first series dvd, "Steel Inferno" is actually quite good. It contains LOTS of fire-figthing action and rescue scenes. The fire sequences were actually BETTER than those in Towering Inferno in my opinion! It appears they had a good budget to work with, and made the fire scenes VERY realistic. And you only have to wait 20 minutes for the major action to start.

The last film of adam 12: the complete series ,The Convention, has Roy & Johnny returning to San Francisco, and following around the same cast from the last movie. This time, the final fire is a big explosion at a chemical lab working with toxic chemicals & radioactive materials. This was the best action since the fire in "Steel Inferno".

It is true that none of the other Station 51 firefighters are in the movies/series complete, and that Johnny and Roy have a small part in Survival on Charter No. 220, but they are prominently featured in all the other movies, although other paramedics are also featured because the movies were serving as pilots to relaunch Emergency with a new cast.

Personally, I am not very fond of these TV movies/series box sets (with the exception of "Greatest Rescues"). Remember, when I say this, I am a HUGE Emergency! fan. I grew up watching the TV show. I owned a Squad 51 helmet, an Emergency! Jigsaw puzzle, etc. and soon all of the TV seasons on DVD (as soon as Season 6 comes out). I personally met Randolph Mantooth in 2001 (along with other crew members from the show) when Code 3 Collectibles was dedicating their new Emergency! toys at Station 127 in Carson (the station used for the TV series) - got to sit in the refurbished squad. I have visited the station 3 times in the last several years
