240-Robert

I have seen this show when I was growing up and I liked it very much

Here in my country, the most of TV series of America came in under some format almost without any delay since decades ago.

It is clear that this formula has been reproduced many times but I like the acting freshness, the connection with the characters, and of course the equipment they use in the rescues (who doesn't dream about a bronco)

Well, I hope the DVD industry take care soon about the not so popular shows and release it quickly.

PS: I loved the soundtrack

This was my favorite show when I was 4 years old. I don't remember a lot about it except the characters names and the basic premise of the show. I even went so far as to paint "240-robert" on the side of my playhouse and named several stuffed animals after the characters. Any kid who came to my house was required to play rescue. Wish I could find some episodes online so I could see why I was so excited by this show. Mark Harmon was cute and all but I doubt at 4 I really cared so I assume it was the action scenes. I do have some vague memories of some scuba scenes and perhaps a helicopter rescue of some sort which we used to reenact by jumping off of aforementioned playhouse. Great memories.

I haven't seen this show in YEARS. I dimly remember this as being my favorite show when I was about 4 years old. All I remember now is that Morgan the Helicopter Pilot was cute and that this show made me REALLY want a Police Truck Toy.

From what little else I can remember about the show, it was basically a cross between "CHiP's" and "Baywatch". Sort of a funky late-70's cop show set on the beach.

As a kid I remember myself and all of my friends watching 240-ROBERT on TV. We all thought it was a great show. We where in the nine year old range at the time. Most of us still talk about the show today and how we would like to see it return to tv with the original cast. In Somerset County Maine, the show 240-ROBERT was a major inspiration for the creation of a Special Response Unit which is called the, "Somerset Regional Dive-Rescue Association. They members are of all branches of public safety. They do that 240-ROBERT STUFF..

The cases and adventures of the Emergency Services Detail of the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department. In particular we see the exploits of Deputy Theodore Roosevelt "Trap" Applegate III and Deputy Dwayne "Thib" Thibideaux, the crew of the Detail's helicopter, 240-Robert.

A series that enthralled me as a kid. A great mix of action, adventure, humour and human drama. The fact that these guys were emergency services personnel operating in a police environment with police operations made it even more interesting as you had the best of both worlds.

The show is also notable for being one of the first shows or movies to have Mark Harmon in a leading role. He was reasonably unknown until this point.
