    9.5 Superb

    An awesome feel-good fact-based show. What "reality" TV was named for....REALITY...no script. Not VH1. Things that happened in the REAL world. Not MTV. People that survived against adverse odds. Not SURVIVOR. The wholesome version of COPS. hide « show »

    Actual 911 calls, interviews with call-takers, dispatchers, Police, Firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics, first responders, and of course victims and other parties involved. Victims reunited with the people who helped them in their time of need.

    Off the air for quite a while now.

    But it's back... on the "Investigation Discovery" (ID) channel. It's named "Call 911" now. Not on CBS anymore, so they probably had to change the name. No more William Shatner, or any host, actually. They toned down the opening and commercial cut scenes. But if you listen carefully, it still has the same basic theme song.

    As of Jan '09: its on Fridays @ 2000 hrs. (8pm EST) Watch It. Tivo it.

    Its OK to get goosebumps because somebody is safe...That they were really, genuinely saved from their impending doom.

    My Favorite Show when I was a little Kid. hide « show »

    I was really little when this show first came out. I remember watching this show every time it was on with my parents. This was one of the best tv shows in the 90s. I wish I could still watch it on TV. It was my favorite show. I wish this show would come back to tv. I Miss it. I also wish that they would realease at least one season on DVD so I can watch it again whenever I want. If they decide to bring it back to tv they should put it on a channel that most cable companies have. last time it was on it was only on discovery healt. I dont have digital cable or satalite. I just have basic cable. It would be nice to see it again on a tv station such as PAX TV.
