I agree. Not the same without them.
And another nitpicky for me. I thought, according to the fire dept., you
weren't suppose to use an elevator during a fire. So how come everytime I
turned around the firefighters were using an elevator?

You are correct. You (civilians) are not to use an elevator during a
fire. Some older elevators (probably in the era of the Emergency!
series) had a type of button that was activated by heat as well as
touch. Therefore, heat from a fire could be translated by the elevator's
electronics as someone on that floor pushing the button to summon a car.
Occupants on an elevator that are summoned to the fire floor have a very
low survival rate. There was quite a graphic example of this in the
movie "The Towering Inferno." The other possibility is the fire causing
a short circuit in the controls on the fire floor summoning a car to the
fire floor.
However, elevators are equipped with several other circuits. One is a
bypass or override, where someone with the proper key can swicth the
elevator to bypass mode, at which point the elevators ignore all summons
from buttons on the floor and only operate by the controls inside the
car. In that case, the fire department can use the bypass mode to use
the elevator in their operations. In most circumstances, fire
departments will take the elevator to two or more floor below the fire
and use the stairs the rest of the way.
Most modern elevators are also equipped with a recall circuit, so that
when a fire alarm sounds, the elevators are automatically recalled to
the ground or lobby floor and stay there until the alarm is reset or
they are placed on bypass mode.
Hope that answers your question!

a new series like "Emergency-The Next Generation". Maybe the studio
thought the lead characters @ 51 were getting long in the tooth and
felt the need to introduce younger blood @ 110. Anyway, that's my

age of 5 and below, I am extremly happy that these movies are airing. Now I
know that "the Guys" are not in 'em but these movies are still a part of the
whole Emergeny! series. I look forward to seeing as many of the 2 hour episodes
as TV Land can air! Like someone reminded us before, we were warned of the lack
of our loved ff's. Also remember how hot under the collar we all got when TV
Land listed them to air and then skipped them!!!
Just my 2 cents.
Thank ya kindly for letting me ramble...

When I saw that first shot of Early and Dixie.. my first thought was that they
both had a few nips and tucks while on Hiatus. I agree, Early looked *quite*
different.
** Flame-Disclaimer**
I have nothing against cosmetic surgery. I've had a couple of nips myself, and
I am quite pleased.

not in steel inferno. Looking at the air dates on E&R's website, the last
episode, the boat was aired on 3/12/77, steel inferno aired on 1/7/78. My
thoughts are that the series was finished, when they decided to make the
movies, for what ever reason, the guys didnt have contracts and the movies
were made without them. If so, that is a major shame that due to budgets,
the guys were left out. It did leave a big gap in the story lines, IMHO.
Well, that's my 2 cents.

The one weird thing that got my attention was that their shirts looked new,

Probably true!
Thought the 2nd half of Steel Inferno was a lot better than the first half.
The canteen scene was funny, with Gage waving frantically to Roy that they
weren't available. In fact, I chuckled a lot at Gage's grumbling throughout
the movie--"I'm NOT on clean up" . . . and all the whining about carrying air
bottles . . . very Gage! And of course, there was the obligatory JWOD, but he
shook it off and lowered three firefighters all the way down an elevator shaft.
He's skinny but he's tough! =)

I did not watch ...Inferno on TV Land but had previously recorded
the film from another channel. I noticed the shirts too. Seemed to
be darker, and very very ill-fitting. And perhaps so obviously
double knit polyester (seems ironic to have firefighters running
around wearing flammable fabrics on their uniforms. Hmmm).

Exactly. One of my problems with The Steel Inferno and Survival on
Charter 220, which are the two LA-set 2 hour movies, is that the
story continuity makes no sense in re John and Roy seemingly
reponding to crises by themselves.
The films set in San Francisco and Seattle dispense with this
oversight in story continuity by whisking Gage and DeSoto out
of town altogether. Without having that "where's the rest of
Eng. Co. 51" issue to ponder, it sorta makes those films
better.
