The season opener was interesting, but not quite as good as they planned. Shelley Berman played a screenwriter "embedded' at the fire station and going on calls with the paramedics.
Berman ALWAYS thought he was funnier than he really was. Success in the Borstch Belt seldom translated to real success on TV and in film. Berman's task in the role was to exaggerate everything that happened to make the scenario humorous. He failed.
The other side of the story was a presumed drunk driver who ran a stop sign and hit a motorcyclist. However, the doctors found no alcohol in his blood sample, and dug for a solution they could explain. That story was quite a bit more interesting.
