Rescue 8 - "Danger! 20,000 Volts" 

Great memories . I was born in 1957 and for Me and My older Brother this and all the other great Shows from this Era were real entertainment and role models. We played rescue and War games all the time. Made Fire stations and towns from cardboard boxes and building blocks for Our toy fire trucks and cars . Dug up the garden with toy dump trucks and bulldozer’s . Those were good days. The hobby stores always had a HO scale car track and train set to give kids something to dream about for Christmas and Birthdays . It might have taken a while to save up for those but We really appreciated them . Plastic Models were not cheap but more affordable for Kids. With a couple of dollars a week allowance for doing chores we could get a decent model.

Yea Jim Davis certainly a genuine person. " tough as nails"..good ol' boy. Just like James Arness, John Wayne, John Carrol, Joel McCrae and other. Certainly can refer to them as a "Man's Man" !

Need more shows like this

MEtv needs to air more syndicated gems like this!

Beautiful

Thank you so much for uploading and sharing these. Loved this show remember watching it as a kid, it was a favorite. What great memories.

Remember this show from my much younger years,watched it all the time,just realized the narration is by the exceptional Paul Frees.

Never heard of this show! It's great!

Watching and enjoying this on a cool rainy April 3 Sunday night 2022 off from the job

That ladder was a 1948 LaFrance 85 footer. I worked on its twin up until the 1970’s

Great stuff

I bought this collection some years ago and most aren`t in as good conditions as this one. I only wish there was a good collection of the Whirley Birds available.

I watch this as a kid in the late 50s, I would go out to the garage and climb up into the rafters and pretend I was saving something, got stuck more than once.

Best thing to watch on a beautiful warm off from work Sunday march 21 2021

I USED TO PLAY THIS WHEN I WAS A KID WITH MY FRIEND ( WE WERE BOTH 9))

Jim Davis was an amazing actor I love watching him this series and Dallas and the westerns movies he was no b movie actor as he himself said he was I think his acting A all the way!

I caught these episodes, probably, in their first syndication run. Rescue 8 was a favorite show of my buddies (later my younger brothers) and mine.

This is some of the best Cheese (vintage) I've run across lately ! Writing to die for !!

If anyone thinks back this was the tv program emergency in the late 50's early 60's

Somehow, I just can't imagine that relatively thin wire transmitting 20,000 volts.
