I thought the first half was OK, but then it went downhill. Would someone like her really get accepted to be an EMT? After the stupid antics she displayed , bashing around the dummy, dropping the guy in the chair on the stairs? Her husband was cold and uncaring and so jealous, didn't like his character at all. When she went on her first call and banged the old lady on the floor, just wasn't that funny. I think Kathy did what she could with this role though. She's a great actress. I didn't think the old guy added too much to the film either. Did we find out if he died? I did think it was nice when she got the secretary position. But yeah, I would have liked to see her kick her hubby out to the curb.

This movie really spoke to me about fear and change and how they can affect our lives. There is a classic line in the movie about fear. I have quoted it, not word for word, on various occasions. "Fear is like a hologram. It seems full of substance and depth until you move through it and discover it is an illusion." What a line! The entire movie was about changing and redefining and adding dimensions to life in spite of fear. Kathy Bates was a perfect person to put in that part because she is easy to relate to as an everyday ordinary person who wants to feel needed and validated. The comedy and human drama was just the right mix without being slapstick or maudlin. Kathy and Robin do a great job convincing us of the love and fear in their relationship. Watching them grow and discover themselves was really a treat.

That song was "Wooly Bully," by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.I hope this is a pilot that turns into a series. Kathy Bates is always good, and this TV movie is no exception.I could identify with her throwing herself whole-heartedly into whatever she chose, especially the medical things. Some of us do that. Finding something that feels like your life has purpose is important, but so is not taking yourself too seriously.This was a good Lifetime movie, worth watching. It won't keep you riveted to your seat, but it will take you nicely along a comfortable path with great scenery.

I really enjoyed this quirky show. I hope that it stays on the air, Kathy Bates is such a great actress. I really enjoyed the hunky Robin Thomas as her husband too. Thanks for such a great show!!Parts of the show were a bit predictable, but being in the medical field myself, I could relate to some of the story lines.We need more shows on TV like this one, she was a bit sarcastic and very realistic to the part.The man that plays her mentor as an EMT was a very good actor also, I don't know his name off-hand, but he was good.Please keep this show on, since my favorite Judging Amy has been cancelled, I have been looking for a new show to follow!!
