Another Show About Paramedics: The Listener

Sounds like every whacker's new favorite show.

Nah, they sit around in a circle and "bop the boa" to reruns of 'Emergency' and 'Third Watch'...then they quote the shows at lunch and compare light-bars.
 
Damn, and I thought all this time being a medic would let me do all of this stuff, get super powers, maybe even fly?! O,well..looks like I have to be normal and actually follow rules and care about the PT.
 
I never found Third Watch to be a whacker show. It's actually pretty solid, the small parts involving the medics that actually make it into the episodes.
 
I'm waiting for when Heroes and The Listener cross plot lines...
 
I will watch the show and let you know what I think about it.
 
Oh Okay, gotcha now. Thank you. :)
 
This show SUCKS. I had to stop watching halfway through the first episode.

SUCKS is a good description. The first five minutes had me retching. Terrible script and way, way over the top hammy performances.

I didn't know that paramedics could investigate crimes! The cops seem to not even mind in this show....amazing!

The script was f***ing terrible. The characters were way over the top. I too was retching.

I didn't really get the impression it was focused on these guys in the course of the duty. It seemed to me like it was just more about this guy with a superhero power that just happened to be a paramedic.

But if we're going to point out all the legalities involved in superhero type actions, we could probably create some epic lists using Batman, Superman/Smallville, Spiderman, The X-Men, Heros, etc.

But I do agree about the script. It's a poorly written show.

It becomes bad when he wears his Paramedic uniform to gain entry into the homes of people to investigate and their "trust" to talk to him. It is also a poor showing when he gets PD to lie for him that he didn't contaminate evidence or was even at the crime scenes...again in uniform. And then there is that life saving heroics that is kinda pathetic and makes them look like a couple of idiots when they have to be rescued for their own stupidity of rushing in. Of course, some could learn a lesson from that.

Using my uniform to misrepresent myself like that to the public would get me fired. That is exceedingly inappropriate. And than, the dude runs into a building where the kidnapper is!

Hey Buzz and Karaya, who is that guy in your avatar?
 
Granted its a crap show. But I'm not sure that people watching a show about a mind reading paramedic will take anything too seriously.

You would have to be a special kind of stupid to watch this and think there's any EMS realism.

If you're worried about public perception or the effect on people getting into EMS, you have bigger fish to fry than this show.

Com' on! You don't know Dr. Strangelove? Peter Sellers is the actor portraying Strangelove.
 
Omfg.

What a HORRIBLE show.

Period.
 
Maybe it's a fantasy type show, but was mislabeled and had too little fairy dust and trolls, and just sucks.
