Rescue Heroes began as a toy series by Fisher-Price. It was turned into a Merchandise-Driven children's show by the world-renowned Canadian animation studio Nelvana that was shown on Teletoon and CBSnote Later Kids' WB! after getting Un-Canceled that taught kids about safety and a couple of other issues starting back at 1999.The Rescue Heroes Global Response Team is a team of emergency rescue specialists (firefighters, police officers, mountain climbers, pilots, divers, spelunkers, etc.) who are on call at a moment's notice to travel to the sight of major emergencies anywhere in the world and deal with them, usually employing a variety of high-tech vehicles and equipment. All this is directed by astronaut Roger Houston, who watches over the world from a space station. Conceptually very similar to the classic series Thunderbirds with the use of vehicles, but also with the character based specializations of G.I. Joe, and set in the Present Day, if not what was considered the near future. Contrast with Tomica Hero Rescue Force and Tomica Hero Rescue Fire.Oh, and like G.I. Joe, absolutely every recurring character has a meaningful, Punny Name, whether they are based on a toy or not.In 2019, a Flash-animated reboot series was released on the Fisher-Price YouTube channel, with an all-new toyline accompanying it. Nelvana also has every episode of the original show available online through Treehouse Direct. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
Rescue Heroes / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Billy has one of these in "Storm of the Century"; while it's fairly downplayed compared to most other examples, it's probably the episode that contains the biggest screw-up of any hero. First off, he abandons higher priority work to try taking after his father who is in a position that Billy knows good and well he won't be able to handle alone, and after Billy already snapped at Wendy earlier on for bringing this subject up. He also ends up taking the Hyper Jet, which has up to this point been established as a prime tool for the heroes that they couldn't get along very far without, and he uses it to help out a single person. As if that weren't enough, the wind storm ends up picking up enough that the ship's electrical system gets badly damaged, completely cutting him off from all radio communication and losing all signal, and in the process gets the both of them lost. Top this off with him trapped in the jet with only his father, already upset enough at him for not taking the path he was expecting Billy to take, and getting badly injured from the impact of the jet's landing, and you can see the look of utter defeat and despair on his face. Fortunately, he gets better once he and his father are able to set aside their past tensions. Rocky also has one in The Movie, when he learns he's responsible for causing Billy to contract a fatal poison. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
Rescue Heroes / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Movie is notably a lot darker than most episodes of the show. Most noteworthy is the fact that it deals with the idea of The End of the World as We Know It, where a series of lightning storms have the potential to collide and lead to the Earth's destruction. Even if you gloss over that though, it also deals with Billy's potentially fatal poisoning and Rocky not only being grounded for his failures, but learning he's at fault for Billy's poisoning. While the show always dealt with deadly situations, it never did it with such high stakes as this. The Global Response Team-era episodes also tend to fall into this category more than the first season. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
Rescue Heroes / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: Some of the series' disasters were based on real-world events: "Arctic Spill" is loosely based on the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The submarine portion of "Trapped Beneath the Sea" shares similarities with the sinking of the Kursk nuclear submarine. "High Anxiety", as aforementioned, shares a number of similarities with 9/11. "Mayhem in the Mist" is based on the 1991 M4 motorway crash, where dense fog led to a 51-car pileup. As in "Blackout", commercial planes have been forced to land on roadways when they could not reach an airport. One such incident was Southern Airways Flight 242 in 1977, which tried to land on a highway in Georgia before crashing into a gas station. Though "In the Driver's Seat" shows it as fire for dramatic effect, gasoline entered the sewer line in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico in 1992, eventually leading to a series of explosions. "Tunnel Vision" is based on a number of tunnel fires caused by cargo trucks, including the Channel Tunnel in 1996 and Mont Blanc in 1999. | |

Rescue Heroes / int_53211774 | comment |
Multi-Part Episode: "Storm of the Century" is a two-part episode; since it was in the first season which entirely consisted of full thirty minute episodes, this means it's the only episode that is an hour long. The Global Response Team era (the second and third seasons) used the Two Shorts format (two 15-minute episodes per half hour) and had some double-length episodes itself, such as "Heroes" and "Flashback to Danger". | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
Rescue Heroes / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Wendy is uncomfortable with water rescues due to a near drowning incident in her past. In "Tidal Wave", she ends up putting her fears aside to do her job, partly due to how much she trusts her partner for the job, Gil Gripper. Several rescues feature civilians who are afraid of one thing or another, often something that complicates the rescue such as an acrophobe who needs to be airlifted or an aquaphobe during a water rescue. The Rescue Heroes typically are able to convince the civilians in question to put aside their fears long enough to be rescued and have occasionally been able to help them get cured entirely. | |

I Am Not My Father: "Storm of the Century" reveals Billy's father was a construction worker along with all of his ancestors, and expected Billy to follow the same path. When Billy and his brother chose to be firefighters instead, he became frustrated and slowly lost contact with the two over the years. It becomes a major point of contention when they meet up again after years of silence between each other. Gentle case with Wendy and Warren Waters in "Meteor". When Warren signs Wendy up for space training, she eventually has to tell him that his world is up in the Station but hers is "down there (Earth)". | |

Billy and Jack get this towards their biological younger siblings and Jake was part of a Big Brothers Big Sisters program and remained close to the boys he mentored, even offering to let them stay in Headquarters when their house burns down in "Four Alarm Fire And Brimstone" | |

In the cold opening, he is the most vocal about scolding a professor who puts his material possessions above his own safety, but is later shown to not be above doing a similar thing when he could potentially lose a car he holds sentimental value for due to it holding memories of his deceased father. Jake even calls him out with a Meaningful Echo when he tells Rocky "You don't go back into a burning building!" as Rocky himself said earlier on. | |

The Teaser | |
Rescue Heroes / int_6e8b95dc | comment |
The Teaser: Nearly every episode begins with a minor rescue before the main plot kicks in. Sometimes these are completely unrelated to the bulk of the episode, but occasionally they will set up something major with the episode's theme. For example, "Twister" starts off with a professor who goes back into a burning building to retrieve his research, foreshadowing the conflict with Rocky having to decide between his life and a material possession. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Rescue Heroes / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Any time someone deliberately ignores safety guidelines: All of the numerous ways kids are put at risk and/or injured. One particularly scary one involves three kids going off-trail on their bikes; one of them gets injured and snake bit and the only one who has any idea where they went is her little brother. The snowboarder in "Peril on the Peaks" deserves special mention. He refuses to dump any of his footage that he obtained while on the mountain, and contests Rocky's command to drop his backpack. This was after he already put two other people at risk due to his own ignorance while climbing the mountain earlier. After this gets both of them into an even worse spot, once they're finally rescued, the snowboarder proceeds to snowboard off the slope due to his own greed to finish his documentary. He then screams joyfully down it, which starts an avalanche that almost kills him again. Carter in "The Chilling Championship." He and the rest of his basketball team are on a bus that is dangling off a bridge. They are told to stay put until the rescue team arrives, but Carter decides to try and back the bus up himself, thinking that it will make him a hero, but it just makes things worse. Then when the team is all out of the bus, Carter goes right back inside to grab the trophy just as the bus plunges into the river. "Twister" starts off with the Rescue Heroes pulling some scientists out of a burning building, and one of them actually runs back into the building to grab his research. Even after they save him, all he cares about is his research going up in flames, until Rocky tells him that what he did was crazy. Then when the scientist sees how worried his wife and son were, he realizes that Rocky was right and he thanks the Rescue Heroes for saving him. | |

Jake realizes he's being one in "Four Alarm Fire and Brimstone" when he begins the process of holding a grudge against his "little brother" Nick for coming along on a rescue and putting himself and his little brother in danger when he had tried to get Nick to forgive the neighborhood boy who accidentally burned down Nick's house with fireworks earlier in the episode. Jake's quick to acknowledge this and apologize once he figures it out. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: In "A Bridge Too Far", Rocky calls in Bob Buoy (normally an underwater rescue specialist) for a bridge rescue and puts Ariel on the ground instead of in her chopper, to his teammates' puzzlement. As it turns out, Rocky was several steps ahead of everyone: Ariel's Spanish skills make her more useful in communicating with the Spanish-speaking locals than in the air, and Bob ends up being vital in rescuing passengers who got trapped in a train car that falls from the bridge into the river (and two passengers who get swept away by said river.) | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
Rescue Heroes / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: "Not on This Planet" suffers from this big time. The shuttle hits a debris field seconds after launch, when using its rocket boosters to avoid a large asteroid they end up sending it right to Earth, and seconds after that they somehow encounter a black hole, which doesn't look remotely black, or even like a hole. A black hole that close to Earth would've obliterated our solar system long before they bumped into it, or would've had to be on the other side of the galaxy to escape detection until the last minute. Turns out this is deliberate, as the whole scenario was an elaborate set up using holograms and other tricks to simulate a space disaster for the kids on the tour to overcome. | |

Jake's quick to acknowledge this and apologize once he figures it out. Also occurs with Rocky in "Twister". In the cold opening, he is the most vocal about scolding a professor who puts his material possessions above his own safety, but is later shown to not be above doing a similar thing when he could potentially lose a car he holds sentimental value for due to it holding memories of his deceased father. Jake even calls him out with a Meaningful Echo when he tells Rocky "You don't go back into a burning building!" as Rocky himself said earlier on. | |

No Antagonist: As a general rule, there are no true villains on the show. The heroes combat accidents and natural disasters. While an accident may be someone's fault, it is nonetheless an accident and not due to anyone's deliberate malice. However, "A Whale of an Adventure" is a notable exception: there, the crisis is made much worse by illegal whalers who knowingly ignore a warning about a mined area of the sea, and deliberately jam signals to avoid detection. Once the Rescue Heroes discover the whalers, they waste no time in arresting them and turning them over to the Coast Guard. | |
