[MedicCook]

This show is awesome.

[icehog3]

Never was a huge Dennis Leary fan until someone lent me Season one on DVD this winter. I bought the next 3 seasons, and went through them all in about a week and a half. Now I have been jonesin' for a couple months for Season 5.

Best part, the first 4 seasons were 13 episodes each...this season is 22 episodes. :tu

[marge796]

I love this show!

[Smoke Naked]

Seems like it took forever to come back on.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

22 episodes this season will be great:tu

[MedicCook]

This season is longer because of the writer's strike last year.

[WildBlueSooner]

Never heard of it...might have to check it out

[Pat1075]

Awesome show!

[thebiglebowski]

oh, HELL'S yes! both me and wifey-poo have been dying for this to come back. didn't realize it was 22 episodes - that's really good news...

[ActionAndy]

The first few seasons were brilliant, last season sort of lost me. Seems a bit too far out now, but I'll definitely still be watching...

[rack04]

I can't wait. This show's been off waaaaaay too long.

[Nabinger16]

Hate to be the spoil sport, but I HATE Rescue Me! I'll be honest I've never given the show a fair shake. I've only ever seen a few episodes. The reason I've never cared for it is because it started shortly after 9/11 when the entire country was holding firefighters high on there shoulders. People were pouring out their support for firefighters and FDNY so Fox decides to cash in on it.

Not to mention I've read about at least one department that is in the process of suing the Denis Leary Firefighters Foundation for money that it promised. The dept. spent money on much needed equipment, but the money never showed up.

I'm sure it's an entertaining show and all but it's not for me.

[cricky101]

Fantastic show. I'll be watching for sure on Tuesday!

Hmm...thats crazy if that is true about the foundation!

[Nabinger16]

I read about it on firehouse.com about a month or so ago.

[dubnick]

I've heard rumor to this as well... but nothing else has come of it.

PS> I love the show and can't wait. DVR is already set

Trent, the first season premiered on July 21, 2004, so it was almost 3 full years after 9/11. It hardly "cashes in" on the esteem that firefighters are held in, it shows them with more problems than the average Joe.

The Leary Firefighters Foundation, since its creation in the year 2000, has distributed over $2.5 million (USD) to fire departments in the Worcester, Boston, and New York City areas for equipment, training materials, new vehicles, and new facilities.

A separate fund run by Leary's foundation, the Fund for New York's Bravest, has distributed over $2 million (USD) to the families of the 343 firemen killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks in addition to providing funding for necessities such as a new mobile command center, first responder training, and a high-rise simulator for the FDNY's training campus. This new fund was established because the families of the Worcester fire did not want to include New York families into the fund. As a result, Leary created a separate fund for New York.

I could find no news reports of any Fire Department suing Leary's foundation.


No biggie if the show ain't your cup of tea, but I think Leary's people have done some wonderful things for firefighters, so I wanted to respond with what I have seen regarding those comments. :)

[icehog3]

I read about it on firehouse.com about a month or so ago.

I can't find anything at all except positives about Leary on the site. :confused:

Great show,,,been watching it since day 1.

It was the first show about FDNY post 9/11, and even though it was almost three years after 9/11, firefighters were more revered then ever. IMHO it was a convenient time to produce a series about fireman especially FDNY.

I couldn't seem to find anything about it either. Firehouse is where I read about it, but I'm not sure where the story went. The story went into LFF having finical trouble. The dept. was a larger city dept. who purchased an equipment truck. The contracts were signed and the vehicle was built. When it came time for delivery there was no money. The manufacture was on the dept. for the money because of the contract and the dept. was going after LFF because they awarded them the grant.

I'm not saying Dennis Leary hasn't done a ton of good for the fire service. I'm just not into the TV show, but I will admit I assumed LFF was created after Rescue Me. I didn't know it was created in 2000 to honor his cousin.

We can just agree to disagree, My Brother. :)

Can not wait. Great show.

well... i'd say about the last thing this show does is glorify the fiirefighters. really shows them with all their warts, for the most part.

[Nabinger16]

well... i'd say about the last thing this show does is glorify the fiirefighters. really shows them with all their warts, for the most part.

It was not my intent to imply Fox was attempting to glorify firefighters with the show. It's simply my opinion that Fox decided to produce a TV series about FDNY Firefighters in the wake 9/11. Even if it was almost 3 years past, it was still very fresh in the hearts and minds of every American. FDNY was in the forefront of the disaster, and in my opinion Fox knew a show such as Rescue Me would have a high probability of succeeding.

I'll state again though, I've only seen a couple episodes. It may be an extremely entertaining show, but I don't care for it due to the reason I feel it was produced.

[Scottw]

I enjoy the show and try to watch it with some of my firefighter buddies (they are firemen, I am not). I know all the great things that the brave men and women of these fire companies do so actually seeing the "real" side of these people portrayed to me is enjoyable. Good show and I have been a Leary fan since seeing "The Ref".

Of course that is true, Trent, a network would be foolish to produce a show that they didn't think had a high probability of succeeding.

I think, based on Leary's actions before the show was produced (i.e, his Foundation, started in 2000 even before 9/11), his motivation for making the series may have been a bit more heartfelt than simply capitalizing on 9/11. :2

Good point Tom!

[Jbailey]

I started watching this when it started and caught most if not all of the first season. When I moved I didn't have a tivo forever and missed most of the 3rd and 4th seasons. I might catch the new one tonight.

I have Seasons 3 and 4 on DVD if you wanna borrow them, Dave. :)

[thebiglebowski]

i thought it was pretty good last night. got me right back into the flow.

[icehog3]

TiVo'ed it as I was watching the Blackhawks....probably get to it over the weekend...Glad to hear it was good. :)

[jamesb3]

Been a watcher of this show since day one. Absolutely a great show. Love the fact that this is a 22 episode season. Just more of a great thing.:) Only T.V. show that I watch.

[Scottw]

Since Tom hasn't seen it yet, I won't give anything away but I think it was a pretty good show and Leary is just great. Enjoy it Tom.

totally agree - would like to see this show and actors in it get some sort've recognition one of these days (emmys, globes?)...

[bigloo]

I have watched since show #1, one of the best shows ever made. If you like this show, you should seriously also rent DEADWOOD if you have not seen that series. Both are edgy with interesting characters.

[Gophernut]

:tpd:I completely agree with you on both counts! Rescue Me is just another example of FX really doing a great job on some of the series out there. Rescue Me, The Shield, and Sons of Anarchy to name my favorites. Can't wait to get home tonight, crack open a couple beers, and watch Rescue Me!:wo

[MedicCook]

c.u.n.t.h.

:r

[King James]

I've seen a few episodes but haven't watched it weekly. Maybe something to catch up on for the next season

[dubnick]

Unfortunately, this is the last season. But still a great show to watch from the beginning :banger

[rack04]

I haven't heard that this was the last season. :confused:

Unfortunately this has been my least favorite season of the series.

[dubnick]

They took a year off, and now they're doing, from what I've read, a 22 episode season as the finale.

[ahc4353]

Just got into this show last night. Trying to catch up on all the past seasons. What a great show!

[Scottw]

I kinda liked the one last night, it wasn't the greatest episode but at least Needles wife was in it and looking quite good :-)

[MedicCook]

you may be able to watch a lot of the past episodes on hulu.com.

Where did you read that Lane? Haven't seen that anywhere.

[Junior]

I know it is the last year for Monk, but had no idea it was for Rescue Me as well.

[dubnick]

Where did you read that Lane? Haven't seen that anywhere.

I remember reading it last year, while inquiring about the delay in last years non-existent season.

I'll see what I can find

Hope it's a nasty rumor....I searched around and couldn't find anything.

[dubnick]

Ok, I was mistaken. My apologies.

It would appear that the show was up for renewal after the fifth season, and FX has signed on for a 18 episode sixth season, plus the comedy tour.

http://blogs.courant.com/roger_catlin_tv_eye/2009/02/rescue-me-returning-april-7-ge.html

Very sorry for the misleading information.

[icehog3]

I am glad you were mistaken, Lane! No worries. :)

[rack04]

Who else thought the dreams that Garrity had in the hospital were out of place and completely boring? One of the funniest moments so far this season is without a doubt the Sheila freak out a couple episodes ago. :r

[hotreds]

Don't watch network tv.

[icehog3]

Don't watch network tv.

Is FX considered network TV? Man, I am old. :r

[bigloo]

FX is cable... Mrs. Needles cannot exist on network TV.

[cricky101]

Thank God for cable. :ss

[MedicCook]

Mrs. Needles is definately an interesting woman.

[dubnick]

Mrs. Needles is definately an interesting woman.

I'm a Fan :tu

[MedicCook]

P*ssybelt. :r

[cricky101]

P*ssybelt. :r

:r:r Next time I'm out with the boys I'm DEFINITELY using that line

[MedicCook]

It will be interesting to see where the story line with Lou is going to go.

[Gophernut]

It will be interesting to see where the story line with Lou is going to go.

Yes it has been extremely entertaining so far.

[icehog3]

More "laugh out loud" moments this week than I can remember in a while. :r

[MedicCook]

It is never good when your wife & girlfriend are sitting at the same table. :r

[Scottw]

Mrs. Needles is definately an interesting woman.

I loved the look on Gavin's face when she stepped over him as he was cleaning the chassis of the firetruck. It was priceless!

[gpugliese]

Crazy ***** tension @ the table was awesome, although I really got a kick out of the "Dyke Tyson" line.

:r

[MedicCook]

It is nice to see the family drinking together again.

[rack04]

Crazy ***** tension @ the table was awesome, although I really got a kick out of the "Dyke Tyson" line.

:r

I lmao when Teddy said that. :banger

[MedicCook]

New episode tonight.

[dubnick]

Can't wait :tu

[cle_smoker]

I had never bothered to watch this show until this season, thanks to this thread. I can't believe what I have been missing. Even got the wife watching it.

[MedicCook]

Tonight's was a downer episode. More of a bridge episode to next week.

[dubnick]

I was thinking the same thing... a set-up for better things to come

[dubnick]

Fun-der-ware :rl :rl

[MedicCook]

Fun-der-ware :rl :rl

That was good.

[gpugliese]

That's what I figured from the moment it was obvious the viewer was in Tommy's dream. Did anyone else catch the name on the back of the firefighter who was stumbling around at the end of the dream? Looked a lot like "Keefe" to me, and I don't think he was dreaming about the dead one...

Also, the Jergens segment was hilarious. It must be a blast to write for this show, but I have to wonder where they come up with some of the more obscure stuff... Perhaps personal experience? :r

I think you are correct on the name. He was Shelia’s husband, Damien’s father, and Tommy’s cousin if I am remembering correctly. He died on 9/11 in the towers collapse.

[ahc4353]

Just rented season 2 last night. I love this show.

[MedicCook]

[MedicCook]

A few episodes ago, Tommy gave the younger Keefe (Damian) his dad's jacket with KEEFE on the back, and I definitely remember seeing KEEFE on the struggling firefighter in the dream.

I assume based on Damian getting the jacket, that it's him.

Tommy mumbled the elder Keefe's name.

[gpugliese]

Yea I just remembered that he woke up under the towers.

[Chris.]

That brunette chick who was the wife of his friend who died in 9-11 is HOTT:dr

[icehog3]

Getting ready to watch yesterday's episode on TiVo in a few minutes...I skipped the last few posts to avoid potential spoilers. :)

[Scothew]

I think you are correct on the name. He was Shelia’s husband, Damien’s father, and Tommy’s cousin if I am remembering correctly. He died on 9/11 in the towers collapse.

Jimmy Keefe was his name. He died in the 2nd tower collapse. Earlier in this season Tommy was all F'd in the head because he thought Jimmy had died in the first tower.

Huge fan of the show... the thing is, alot of the stuff that goes on in the firehouse (the humourous parts) are maybe a bit over exagerated, but for the most part, not out of reason. Lots of stupid funny silly stuff goes on. Ya gotta be pretty wacked in the head to run into a burning building, which the group of guys on the show portray it 100%

[icehog3]

Couple more laugh out loud moments this week...I wish it wasn't already coming to the end of the season in a few weeks.

[ahc4353]

Gonna finish up season two tonight!

I'm so far behind!! :c

[MedicCook]

You will enjoy catching up Al. Go to hulu.com and you can watch some mini web only content also.

[ahc4353]

Season two DONE! :dance:

[MedicCook]

Rescue Me is tonight.

[dubnick]

Looking forward to it as usual.

[MedicCook]

The season is just about over.

[dubnick]

Unfortunately.

[MedicCook]

I am waiting to see if they kill off Damien. It will probably be the last episode ending with a cliff hanger for next season.

[dubnick]

That's am interesting point. Do you really think they will?

[MedicCook]

I think they have killed someone off each year so far.

[dubnick]

That's true... I just never gave a thought to it being Damien. I thought it was going to be Shawn, but he recovered.

Oh well, guess we have to wait and see.

[MedicCook]

I think the dream with a couple weeks ago was the forshadowing to it.

[dubnick]

Forgot about that one... I'm assuming you're talking about the one with the Fire Fighter burning up? And he did have Keefe on the back, but I seem to recall Tommy waking up and calling for Jimmy.

[MedicCook]

He did say 'Jimmy' but there was only the back seen. He did not see the face.

[dubnick]

Very true... I hate cliff hangers :rl :rl

[Scothew]

I think they have killed someone off each year so far.

Who was last year? I cant remember at all.

edit: nevermind, it was Tommy's dad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_Me_(TV_series)#Season_4

[ActionAndy]

I have a phobia of handcuffs. That scene made me very uncomfortable.

[MedicCook]

This was a pretty funny week. The intro at the grocery store was great.

[ahc4353]

Through season 3 but Blockbuster does not carry season 4! :c

[Scottw]

THe best was when Lou bent over to catch his breath and the shoplifter hurdled him. Lou gets up and asked if anyone has spotted the guy. I thought it was hilarious.

[MedicCook]

The answer is Netflix young grasshopper.

That was one of the laugh out loud moments (LOL for all the young peeps.) :r

[Chris.]

I have a phobia of handcuffs. That scene made me very uncomfortable.

me too. I'm always afraid some ***** is going to do exactly what she did. And he was cuffed to a steel head board, so its not like he could just break the thing.:mad: I would have probably pelvic thrusted her ass into the wall.

[dubnick]

I thought it was great when the lady in the Super Market bent down and took the last Avocado, then told Damien to call her... Hilarious

I've always said that if handcuffs are what it takes to really get my girl enthusiastic, then okay. I'm not a stubborn man. But make sure I'm handcuffed to something like a lamp or a rotary telephone. Something I can hit the broad with if she runs into the kitchen and grabs a paring knife.

[Scottw]

What about when the cops let Tommy go and he tells Janet "I think if you actually showed them your ***** , I could've knifed the waiter and not done time.

What a great show.

[Scothew]

Shelia is nuts..... even if hot as all get out.

[dubnick]

Well there's the answer!!!

[Scothew]

crap i havent watched it yet.. was at the fire dept late last night.

[MedicCook]

I loved what Lou did to his wife. :r

The preview for the season finale looks good.

[dubnick]

:tpd:

[MedicCook]

Well there's the answer!!!

I still think there might be another death in the final show.

[dubnick]

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Interesting...

Can't wait to find out.

[MedicCook]

I wish I could get an advanced copy.

[dubnick]

Only 6 Days

[Scothew]

I loved what Lou did to his wife. :r

The preview for the season finale looks good.

Yeah that was pretty epic. Although for some reason I think its gonna turn around to bite him somehow. I mean he used what she "acquired". Trying not to spoil it if anyone hasnt seen.

I still think there might be another death in the final show.

True, but im not sure the one we believe died acctually does. Pretty massive however so its definitely plausable.

[Scottw]

Can't wait for next week. Looks awesome.

[Azpostal]

Excellent show this week, but I still wish they'd get rid of the new chick. I can't stand her!

[icehog3]

Excellent show this week, but I still wish they'd get rid of the new chick. I can't stand her!

I think she is kinda sexy. :2

[Scothew]

I think she is kinda sexy. :2

I love her attitude. I didn't know she could play another character besides Abby on ER.. Guess we were wrong.

Btw, in the preview, is anyone else excitied to see what Tommy does to Shelia? I mean i saw handcuffs and a lighter.. we know she did that to him a couple episodes back teasin him, but she also at one point drugged him and left him in a house to burn to death after she "accidentally" set it on fire.

Holy Cliff Hanger!!!!

Let's Discuss?

Holy Cliff Hanger!!!!

I can't until I watch it. ;)

Later tonight.

[icehog3]

Holy Cliff Hanger!!!!

Let's Discuss?

I didn't enjoy where they left it. "Rescue Me" is my favorite "laugh out loud", feel good show, and now they leave us wondering about this chit for the next year. I was disappointed.

[Scothew]

I agree with you Tom, but you gotta admit the writing is clever as far as where it takes its twist and turns.

Im sorta stunned at where it ended but Damien walking in on his mom, awkward!

[MedicCook]

Just watched the season finale on hulu and WTF?

They have confirmed that there is going to be a season 6 with ten episodes and a season 7 with nine episodes.

It will be next summer for season 6 and they want season 7 to end on or around the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

[ahc4353]

OK so I'm through season 4!!!!

Now how the hell do I get caught up on season 5? :hm

[MedicCook]

hulu.com has the entire season 5 I think.

[ahc4353]

I only find Ep's 20,21 and 22.

HELP! :hm

[MedicCook]

I think you might have to wait until they put it on dvd. Unless someone dvr'd them this season and then you can take a road trip to their house for a little marathon Rescue Me watching.

[icehog3]

On June 16, 2009, the Los Angeles Times website confirmed Rescue Me will return in 2010 with a sixth season due to increased ratings for the 5th season.[3] On August 28, 2009 TV Guide confirmed that Season 6 will return with 10 Episodes followed by a Season 7 in 2011 with 9 Episodes and the Series Finale on or around the 10th Anniversary of September 11th.

[MedicCook]

I have been itching for the new season to start. Still to far away though.

None of my regular cable favorites are on now...SOA, Rescue Me, True Blood....hopefully they will be on soon after the NHL playoffs end or I might as well put my TV into hibernation for a while. ;)

[MedicCook]

I'm watching Jury Duty. :r If all else fails... watch Pauly Shore.

Not on a bet. :r

I feel a re-gifting in 2011. :r

[MedicCook]

I can't wait to see what happens at the start of this season. Who comes in to save the day while Tommy is bleeding out on the floor.

Damn, the suspense if maiming me. :r

[MedicCook]

Did you ever watch the mini-episodes on hulu?

[icehog3]

Did you ever watch the mini-episodes on hulu?

No, I was just reading about them on Wikipedia. Never been on Hulu.

[MedicCook]

You have to go and watch the fantasy one. It is pretty funny.

[icehog3]

Sounds like a plan. :tu

[icehog3]

Sounds like a plan. :tu

I laughed out loud at least 5 times. I am going to stretch watching the rest of the minisodes over a few days to get a laugh fix for a few. :r

[MedicCook]

I hope they do them again leading up to season 6.

[icehog3]

I hope they do them again leading up to season 6.

That fantasy one was hysterical.

[Neuromancer]

When does the new season of this start? I may be prejudiced, having been a firefighter in my youth, but as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the all-time best shows every seen on TV...

Looks like Fall of this year, Marc.

[MedicCook]

I have looked around and it does not look as though they have even started filming yet. Dennis has some other projects he is working on also.

[MedicCook]

June 29th.

Sweet! :tu

Been watching a bit of youtube, just to enjoy some previous rescue me glory.

[MedicCook]

Hulu.com has a ton of Rescue me episodes and special web clips.

True Blood is back, Rescue me in 2 weeks, Sons of Anarchy in September...some things to hold me over until the NHL starts again. :r

[MedicCook]

Royal Pains just started season 2 also.

Less than 24 hours.

[maninblack]

Hell yeaaaaahhhh!!!

[dubnick]

:banger

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Well, what did ya guys think? I guess I was just expecting more, but I thought it was ok. The end of the show is a sign of things to come.

[MedicCook]

It will be interesting to see where they are going to go with the story line.

[neoflex]

Last season was good, the season prior was just Mehh, I am hoping that this first episode is not a sign of things headed back down the Mehh road.

[Scottw]

THe first scene was great IMO. I was getting tired of the flashbacks and dilusional scenes. The one when Tommy offers to bite the bullet for the team was great. I'm looking forward to the season.

By the way, Janet or Joyce, who likes who, I'm with Janet!

[icehog3]

You mean Sheila?

I would continue to do 'em both. ;)

First episodes are typically slow, setting the stage for the new story lines.

14 drinks later and yes, completely confused myself. I meant Sheila. I still like Janet more but if he can get away with both, more power to him.

I'm probably in the minority but I would pass on both. I don't need that kind of crazy.

I thought last nights episode was good. I still haven't figured out the ending though.

:tpd: on the crazy chicks!! They are hot though.

The ending was weird, at first i was like "ah the good ole tommy we know" but then it flashed again and i was like wait.. did he or did he not, and then credits. Makes you go :hm

My wife said he looked just like the devil sitting in that chair on the alter. I am still scratching my head.

[dubnick]

I was expecting more, but thought it was ok. There are so many ways that the story line can go... that's what I love about the show.

[The Poet]

I've never seen this show, but wonder what you guys think about the commercial for it, with that fanatic Red Sox faithful, and professed Yankee-hater, Dennis Leary, promoting his show with Derek Jeter driving by his crew. :r

[cricky101]

My wife said he looked just like the devil sitting in that chair on the alter. I am still scratching my head.

Those were my initial thoughts too. But, who knows ....

[MedicCook]

That is what makes him a great actor. Being a die hard Red Sox fan and having to act like a Yankees fan on the show.

[IBQTEE1]

I have to say I almost peed in my pants laughing last night when Tommy had the purple thong on and then the pics the girl took of him with the extentions & makeup on. Good stuff.

[MedicCook]

I loved it when he found out the one chick was a little 'older'. :r

[icehog3]

I loved it when he found out the one chick was a little 'older'. :r

She wasn't a "cougar", she was a "puma"! :r

[Scothew]

I loved it when he found out the one chick was a little 'older'. :r

And the chick that he was too drunk to get it up with was HOT!

So after this week, think Tommy's gonna get back into the job.. and is colleens lil dip into the well (via Tommy's help) gonna clean her up?

[Gophernut]

I think she's going to spiral down a little further still.

[Scothew]

Apperently it worked, except for black Sean as now she remembers everything :r

[MedicCook]

I have been disapointed with the lack of T&A so far this season.

[icehog3]

I have been disapointed with the lack of T&A so far this season.

Where are Marisa Tomei and Gina Gershon when you need them? :r

[Scothew]

So looks like they are keeping with their season finale theme of killing someone off.

[rack04]

I have the last 7 episodes on my DVR. Haven't had time to watch them. Hopefully this season will be better than last.

[MedicCook]

This season has been rather :td .

[IBQTEE1]

OK I have to admit that I jumped at the end of the show! That was a little freaky. The season finale already!! This sucks.

[MedicCook]

I was not very impressed with this season at all.

[MedicCook]

Final season starts July 12th.

[hscmit]

hope this final season is a good one

[icehog3]

Final season starts July 12th.

Getting excited! :tu

hope this final season is a good one

Being that the final episode will air just before the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, I am guessing it will not be dull. :2

[MedicCook]

I wonder if they will kill off Leary?

[IBQTEE1]

Final season starts July 12th.

Can't wait!!

[LUCY1108]

Looks like they changed the premiere date to July 13. The time is getting closer!! Wooho!! Only negative is that this means the end is near!!

[IBQTEE1]

Started seeing promos for the new season. Starts July 13th!!

[Tyler]

I'm a fan. :tu

Tonight's the Night....


:wo:wo

Ill be sad when its gone for good, luckily SOA will be back on sometime afterwards.

So in keeping with the normal theme of Rescue Me, and them killing someone off at the end of each season or severly handicapping them.... do you think Tommy is gonna die at the end of hte finale?

[icehog3]

Or maybe he was killed on 9/11, and the whole show has actually been his cousin's dream. Heavy.

[J0eybb]

Deep

[Scothew]

im floored.

[Tyler]

Lol well I love this show and I will be sad to see it go but everything most come to an end someday.

[Scothew]

Or maybe he was killed on 9/11, and the whole show has actually been his cousin's dream. Heavy.

What if they take teh whole crew out in a cave in or something while they are searching some run down abandoned building thats on fire. Its not like they havent tried to do that on occasion before seems like.

[hscmit]

hope it ends well

[MedicCook]

Here we go. Final season of Rescue Me starts now.

[IBQTEE1]

OK, not sure what to think about this season based on last night's episode.

[Scothew]

I was sorta "meh" about it honestly. Its almost like the acting had too much time off as it just wasnt up to par where it normally is to me. Although I was laughing at the scene of the firehouse kitchen when "race" talk was taking place.

[Scothew]

Few episodes in and its starting to come around for me. Tommy is still sorta meh as far as character/acting/story line, the rest of the crew is keeping me interested in the show right now. Their antics are always good.

[neoflex]

I like this show but the last couple seasons have been "Meh." Hoping the last season goes out with a bang.

[Scothew]

Hoping the last season goes out with a bang.

Or is a certain Lt.'s case, possibly a cardiac arrest.

[chicken]

Great show. Cant wait.

[icehog3]

One of the few shows that actually have "laugh out loud" moments every episode, usually involving "white"" Sean.

[Scothew]

Well just watched this weeks episode. Tommy's rant wasnt to far off base imo, and franco.... wtf.

Im not sure if i want to know what hte smell is.

[Scothew]

Two episodes left in the show. Looks like a heck of a wedding going on in next weeks.

[neoflex]

I'm curious to see how they wrap this up in two weeks. I'm hoping they're not going to go the easy route and just have Tommy retire. My guess since they have been playing on the whole letter thing is they are going to kill him off in a LODD scene. Going to hate to see the show go.

[MedicCook]

I have a hard time seeing the show end with him alive.

[J0eybb]

We have a farter

[chicken]

Its been a good season so far...hate to see it end.

[maninblack]

Last nights episode was so un PC but so freaking funny with the whole wedding of Colleen.

[icehog3]

Can't even guess whose funeral we will be watching in the final episode.

[Scothew]

I havent seen last weeks yet, but I am glad to hear the wedding delivered as expected.

[IBQTEE1]

I was laughing last night. "What is that smell?" :r

[MedicCook]

Last night might have been the funniest episode of the entire series. The whole wedding thing was hilarious.

[maninblack]

yes but the last 10 minutes has me worried.
