- Here's the very last broadcast (not the final episode but the last time the series was seen on ABC) of the 1981-82 series Code Red, as aired on the ABC Network over Chicago's WLS Channel 7; this is a repeat of S01E16, "Riddle in the Flames," which originally ran on March 14th 1982. (Code Red did also air in reruns on the USA Network in the late 1980s.)
This had the distinction of being the last TV show Irwin Allen ever produced; it starred Lorne Greene (in one of several failed shows since Bonanza ended in 1973) as a veteran Los Angeles Fire Department firefighter, under whom several in his family serve as firefighters, and also featured former Eight Is Enough co-star Adam Rich.
Every segment begins and ends with a Code Red bumper (voiceover by Dick Tufeld).

I always loved this show,I don't know why it didn't go over better.
I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE FROM WHEN I WAS A KID. I was in 2nd grade.
This episode played on TV on Sunday night.
The next day during lunch recess, I carried my lunchbox, pretending it was the toolbox the arsonist carried, and that I was the guy.
My friends played along too, pretending to be the Fire Department, and trying to "stop me from setting fires".
Ah, childhood. What I'd give to relive it! 😆
Best times 🤘🤘
Love this show
This show was reran on USA back in the mid 1980’s, but it never got a DVD or Blu-Ray release of the complete series. I hope Sony should release the complete series of “Code Red” on Blu-Ray, 4K, digital and streaming platforms soon.
Code Red is now streaming on the Crackle App for free
I loved this show as a kid Watching these episodes all so many years has brought back great memories from my childhood I even forgot how beautiful the actress who played Hailey Green was
I used to watch it every Sunday night!
Man I used to love this show as a kid
You know it was a Sunday 7 ET show when you hear before the commercial "We will return after these messages".
This episode was more art imitating life when LA City Public Library's Central Library in DTLA was torched by an arsonist in the mid-late 1980's.
I`ve never seen this series and never broadcast in the UK, but I love this series and I think Code Red should be released on DVD. I do like the TV series of Irwin Allen so much and I`ve got the complete series in my DVD collection.
Thank you! I didn't think I could see another Code Red episode! I wish you could post the pilot movie!
Code Red was a classic case of being a little too late to the party. Both NBC's Emergency! and ABC's own Firehouse had exhausted the firefighter genre and were both off the air for years by this point.
And in seeing Emergency! through four of the six seasons on DVD, it's well-acted and well-worth the money; I don't think I would have enjoyed this ABC one from Irwin Allen/CPT near as much.
And Emergency and Firehouse were good shows. Code Red was stupid. Irwin Allen could have done better. Maybe the network dumb shits wouldn't let him to do what his original intensions might have been.
The firefighter genre resurfaced with "Station 19" and "Chicago Fire" as well as "9-1-1"!
Thank you for posting this! These episodes are hard to come by.
September 1982 , the CPT sunburst was in its final days of use before the Torch Lady/Coca Cola byline started being used as the closing logo to all CPT shows.
I loved this show as a teenager. I vividly remember that winter here in Michigan was brutally cold with temps. constantly below zero.
This was filmmaker Irwin Allen's last television series, and had lots of his trademark special effect disasters on a much smaller budget. Also, the last series for composer Morton Stevens (Hawaii Five-0).
Does the Long John Silvers commercial in the middle of the shown have the little girl from “Poltergeist “?
Yes the late heather o’rourke
Such fun now. I missed TV from 1961 until 2000 . First from being out of the country for some years,then fast paced professional schooling and after from being too busy (work, kids,"chores" etc.)to actually sit down except on Sunday nights to see a whole program other than kiddie shows !
I remember seeing Code Red as a kid! I forgot Lorne Greene played the chief, but he was perfect for that kind of role. Also there's a special place in Hell for people who would blow up a library.
True on that last part, but I don't think Satan would want the person responsible there.
My reaction to blowing up a library. I hate that guy.
I agree. I consider books “Jewels of Knowledge”.
Lorne Greene also played the role of Captain Joe Rorchek in the pilot episode. He was investigating fires in the pilot episode.
Bravo Fuzzy memories tv, this show was my holy grail to find. After watching the first season as a kid in early 80's, I got hooked on this 10x more than I ever did for Emergency. Adam Rich being a kid firefighter just blew my mind and made me want to be one too.I could never understand back then why it never returned the next Fall season and all story lines were left open. Been searching for these for (decades), albeit a quality picture episode. And you finally did it with this upload. I have begged for years for a dvd release of this to the studio. Please upload any more you may have and you will get a huge donation from me!!
Code, red, code, red, multi alarm fire live at a warehouse, because I remember watching this television series as a young boy during the time when it aired on ABC every Sunday nights because I remember watching the Los Angeles county fire department scramble with their trucks, choppers and fire boots on to a fire scene just to extinguish the flames that a roaring out of a factory building because I remember seeing a large fire boot sale over there to help put out the flames in this TV series here.
Monday Night Football did return for its 13th year when the Steelers def. the Cowboys 36-28. However, the 1982 regular season would fall victim to the NFL players' strike would last 2 months starting Monday, September 20th and the last half of the season resume Sunday November 21st.
Five years later on Sunday, September 27, 1987, a similar strike would happen again but it didn't last long than the players' strike 5 years before since the '87 strike lasted a few days.
Waiting for Hoss, Apollo or Starbuck to pop in any minute.
With Adam, and Little Joe coming along.
More episodes please 👍🏻
Adama made it to Earth finally!!
Nicholas Bradford is his son.
I remember this show I was a little kid about 5 but I liked this show I wished it would be released to dvd I’ll stick to watching these on CZcams for now
Among the "Code Red" cast was a young then uncredited Dennis Haysbert!
Nice memories.love it
Flash Gordon and Adama!
LACoFD had "Emergency!" while LA City Fire Department had "Code Red".
Check out 7:30. Somehow you'd expect the Los Angeles Public Library to much bigger than this, and also not in a residential area.
James Hong!
what did the W stand for on the snorkel truck? P was pumper.T was tower,i couldnt figure out the w
Lighting rods are handy as well
Dennis Haysbert

"CODE RED" was Irwin Allen's very last TV series, several years before his CBS miniseries "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" aired in December 1985. the creator of"VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" and "LOST IN SPACE", before becoming "The Master of Disaster" with "THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE" and "THE TOWERING INFERNO" had gone down into a streak of failed disaster movies with "THE SWARM" and "BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE"-all Warner Bros. releases after leaving 20th Century Fox in 1976 after a long 14 years at the previous studio-Allen's last 20th TV series was ABC's "SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON" (1975-76) before he moved over to Warners Burbank Studio location. "CODE RED" was Irwin Allen's first TV series for Columbia Pictures Television, which, at the time, was sharing the Burbank lot with Warner Bros. the 1981-82 TV series ran for 20 episodes and would be the last for Lorne Greene before he passed away in 1987. Sam Jones ("FLASH GORDON") also co-starred in this series, along with former "EIGHT IS ENOUGH" co-star, Adam Rich, former "CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" actress, "Julie Adams, and Andrew Stevens ("THE SEDUCTION"), son of actress Stella Stevens, who all played a family of LA Firefighters. this episode, "Riddle In The Flames" was originally aired on March 14, 1982, and was directed by Ernest Pintoff. "CODE RED" was created by Laurence Health for Irwin Allen Productions, but many viewers felt that this TV series was a ripoff of NBC Universal's "EMERGENCY" TV series that Jack Webb produced in the 1970s at Universal Studios. Ironically, the commercial announcer heard on this episode is Dick Tufeld, synonymous with Irwin Allen, as the voice of "The Robot" on "LOST IN SPACE" (1965-68), and the opening narrator on ABC's "THE TIME TUNNEL" (1966-67), another great Irwin Allen creation!
Included in the "Code Red" cast was a young,then-uncredited Dennis Haysbert.
At the very end. Is that a LIVE announcer?
Yes, Allen Jefferys in this case. All the staff announcers on all the networks back then had booth shifts where they would do system cues and live tags, intros to news cut-ins, technical difficulties announcements, and so on.
You could looking at prison time for the fires buddy
A vehicle for Adam Rich after Eight Is Enough was cancelled. Didn't do much good for his career long term. Ultimately he was just Nicholas hanging out with a fire crew.
Yes. His career would crash and burn after a couple of Eight Is Enough reunions in the late 80's. He stayed in trouble with law in the 90's and early 2000's.
I heard somewhere that Lorne Greene was opposed to casting Adam Rich as Danny Blake.
@@maryhlad7501no Lorne Greene didn’t like doing like doing code red cause their was enough emphasis on the firefighters
