@gedeonm@mastodon.social Oh, wow. I absolutely loved “Emergency!” and “Adam 12” (which someone else mentioned, too).
I had the “Emergency!” lunchbox (metal, of course, as they were back then). It became a storage box for small toys when I retired it.
My uncle was a firefighter, and I *so* wanted to be one when I grew up. One Christmas, I got his fire department chief’s metal helmet as a gift after they switched to the then-new non-conductive helmets. I still have the helmet, but not sure about the lunchbox.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Ha! I got so wrapped up in my nostalgia that I forgot to say what I originally meant to reply about. 🙃 I have no memory of John de Lancie in “Emergency!” And this, despite the fact that I would have been old enough when he was on that show, and it was close enough to his time on STTNG, that I could have made the link. What a great find. Thank you for sharing that photo!
