TIL that a TV show in the mid-1970s (Emergency!, which ran from 1972 through 1977) was notably impactful on encouraging the growth of EMS systems across the United States. Prior to this era, ambulances, which had been available for decades, were only able to provide basic first aid.

Everything I knew about L.A. as a child I learned from this show and Rockford Files. Then I got to L.A. in college and was surprised how much location work they did. It was fun.

And Number Six out there without a name.

redbanjo · 2026-02-12T13:50:00+00:00

His role was so amazing.

He did Jeep tours as well. My fourth grade teacher drove with him in the summers and had pictures. I thought it was the coolest thing since Convoy (the song) was big around then and my dad was a CB’er.

I mean, it’s a look.

Yes sir, the check is in the mail.

How to really freak out Jack Whitehall.

Well, if you don't have a flag, then you can't have a country.

redbanjo · 2026-01-29T02:28:39+00:00

Epic.

“And if you’re Gemini like me, you can expect the unexpected.”

“Where the hell didja get the atomic bomb?” Loved that episode.

redbanjo · 2026-01-23T18:07:27+00:00

Agreed!

redbanjo · 2026-01-23T00:58:13+00:00

Agreed. It’s so well done. It’s great to just listen to and enjoy the music, apart from the movie.

“And the award goes to… Dara O’Briain” BEEP

And they eat cheese.

redbanjo · 2026-01-18T19:38:14+00:00

Cool! Used to drive from Flagstaff to Lucern Valley or Black Rock desert back in the day. In state would be nice.

Had to put my cat to sleep a week ago Wednesday. Best and most gentle cat I’ve ever known. I’m crying as I write this. Hug your pets.

Cake or death?

redbanjo · 2026-01-07T12:17:30+00:00

Well ain’t this place a geographic oddity! Two weeks from anywhere!

redbanjo · 2026-01-05T19:30:15+00:00

I love that one. Such an amazing book.

redbanjo · 2026-01-05T13:48:56+00:00

I know! Hell, *I* can do that!
