Reviews

richard.fuller1 Yes, I remember this show.After growing up enjoying Emergency with Mantooth and Tighe, we were given this return to rescue stunts.But it failed to measure up.Essentially what 240 Robert did was bring Mark Harmon to the limelight.Other than that, the show was awful.And pray tell, what did the numbers mean? I asked my brother, named Robert."Two wheels, four wheels and no wheels," he replied, as rescues were done on motorcycles (yes, a la CHiPs), four wheeled vehicles and the helicopter."But why use the name 'Robert'?" I asked further."Because it is a wonderful name," Robert replied.

TorontoJediMaster I remember watching this show way, way back when I was about 7 or 8.I recall that I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the SCUBA rescues they did.Another reviewer called in a cross between "Baywatch" and "CHIPS". Personally, I always saw it as an attempt by ABC to duplicate the success of NBC's "Emergency".The format was basically the same. You had two partners, who were rescue specialists in their departments. They spent the majority of their day rescuing hapless citizens from the predicaments they had gotten themselves into. The primary difference was that "Emergency" was about the L.A. County Fire Department, while "240-Robert" involved the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.I do wish that they would bring this show back in reruns. I think that an awesome combination would be "Emergency", "CHIPS" and "240-Robert" all running back-to-back with each other.

cjohn 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..

skorzeny 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.
