H.E.L.P. was a United States ABC television drama series which appeared for only one season, in 1990. John Mahoney starred as Chief Patrick Meacham of the New York City Fire Department.

The premise of the show was based on an expirimental combined emergency services station in New York City that co-located the resources of the Fire Department, Police Department and Emergency Medical Services.

Although H.E.L.P. was canceled after its first season, 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.
