Rescue 911 - Episode 309 - "Gator Gulch"

A boy is attacked by an alligator while swimming in a river. This segment was taken from Episode 309 which aired on November 21, 1991 on CBS. This was actually the third segment when the episode originally aired because one of the segments was omitted to shorten the episode to 45 minutes.

911 was taken off because William Shatner's wife drowned in a swimming pool, so he couldn't tell tragic stories anymore. He needed time off.

@jwade161 It was cancelled because of low ratings. The show had already been cancelled for three years when Shatner's wife died.

Why did they take rescue 911 off the air?

[allgood2000]

@GoodPointpogo Low ratings, most likely. CBS was behind in the ratings in the 1994-1995 season, so they got rid of a bunch of their old shows to try out new shows. They brought Rescue 911 back as a midseason replacement in 1996, but the show had already been cancelled by that time, and they were just burning off the episodes they had ordered.

That was some lazy alligator!

Usually they do their "death-roll"... where they grab their prey and roll them continuously to drown and dismember them.

@TyrantStudios Thinking he's food is 'no' excuse.

I love that little boys smile he says he'll never get back in that river in his whole life till he is 38 years old.LOL how cute! And that game wardens nuts! that little boy didn't corner that gator or bother its nest and the gator tried to kill him. The only good gator is a hand bag!!! Thumbs up if you agree!!!
