    I really enjoy the show. It shows children being a hero sometime on every other episode. I was eight years old and a second grader in grade school when the show started. The show ended when I was fifteen and was about to enter my sophomore year of high school. It is really interesting. They show children how to do CPR, call 911, and use heimlich maneuver. They do special segments like "100 Lives Saved", "200 Lives Saved", "Children Heroes", and "Child Safety Edition". It was on Tuesday nights at 8pm on CBS. William Shatner did a great job as a host. I hope they revive it on The CW network.moreless

  • 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.moreless

    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.moreless
