The heroics of Squad 51 of the L.A. County Fire Department's Paramedical Rescue Service are dramatized in the semidocumentary style that executive producer Jack Webb patented on 'Dragnet.' The fast-paced series featured three or four rescues per episode (some more serious than others) and lasted six seasons.

Terence Knox played in a ...

Question: Terence Knox played in a series before Tour of Duty. What was that series? Its like a spy and rescue series. I think the female may been Susan St. James.

And if you aren't, my crack readership will spank me and steer me in the right direction, and I'll update you in a later column. Knox (St. Elsewhere) play Dr. Griffith in the contemporary version of the hit '70s series
