H.E.L.P. is an American
NYPD.[1]
The premise of the show was based on an experimental combined emergency services station (the Harlem Eastside Life-saving Program, or HELP) in New York City that co-located the resources of the Fire Department, Police Department and Emergency Medical Services.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
The series was canceled after its brief six episode run. The concept of a show involving all three branches of NYC emergency services was successfully reintroduced nine years later with the 1999 debut of Third Watch, which ran for six seasons on NBC.
