Inane characters. Muddled story lines. Cheesy dialogue. In other words, behold the fall season's first dud! This is a cartoonish and shockingly bloody drama about a paramedic crew (played by the likes of Damages' Anastasia Griffith) tackling tragedies in San Francisco. In the opener alone, the group — which includes a tough guy nicknamed Rabbit — is faced with colliding helicopters, a freeway pileup and an explosion that sends shrapnel flying into a boy's neck. First, however, two of the heroes do it in an ambulance. Uch. (NBC, 9 P.M.)

2Who's that beautiful dark haired woman on the right side of the photo?
However, a brilliant performance by an EMT extra, Jenny Wilson, MD. salvages the show, the season, NBC, and the whole world. Bravissimo! She's a sure winner of the Nobel Peace Price, the Nobel Prize for Medicine, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry!
