Non-"Emergency!" fans may know him as Tim Donnelly, star of MST3K classic "Parts: the Clonus Horror," the '70s movie that was later ripped off by "The Island."
Chet from "Emergency!" is No Longer Shopping the Pig.

Not a Tim Donnelly fan, but a huge fan of that MST3K episode.

I used to read both on Usenet back in the day. Yes, I'm old.

I did as well and I'm so old I have now forgotten what the other saying was, about being put in a cabinet? Like that lady's stuffed cat?

I remember the days of Emergency!, of shipping the pig, and wearing onions on our belts.

He was on Dragnet lots of times as well. Just saw him recently playing a mental case teenager who would break open display cases at movie theaters to steal the one sheets of movies about some caped superhero he was infatuated with. He also played a dog thief who horded the stolen dogs in an old house just to return them to the owners for a reward, and a married man and father of a toddler who smoked dope a lot with his wife, until they got high one night and let their baby drown in the bathtub.

R10, I was just out on IMDb looking to see if he was the dad in the infamous drowned baby episode. What an absolute mess of propaganda that episode was.

He looked like Ron Jeremy

One of my favorite shows as a kid. I loved all the fire crew bantering at the station house and their constant teasing of John Gage. My sisters had a crush on Randolph Mantooth, while I was secretly having daddy dreams about the more mature Robert Fuller.
RIP Tim.

My seven year-old loves this show and goes around diagnosing everyone with A-fib and diabetes now, thanks to this.
His character was my favorite.

I’m just tripping that someone else on this board knows about Jems. RIP buddy.

The drowned baby episode was on Dragnet again this morning. I must admit, Tim looked pretty fetching with his short hair and button down office look.

Chet was definitely the "comic relief" character.
