Does anyone watch Rescue Me on FX?

[supernova]

I really love watching Dennis Leary go down the drain for some reason.

1. I really like that show.....

More later I am late for dinner

2. I do.

I love that show. One of the best on TV right now.

3. Just got into it, Leary is

playing his family they are all Worcester, MA firefighters I think.

7. I can't remember the town

but I love the way the show flows. It's got the same kind of feel that "Homicide" did only with firemen.

8. My man if

you liked Homicide, a great show, you gotta watch "The Wire" on HBO it is by the same guy David Simon, it is F'ing awesome!!!

[supernova]

10. I loved Homicide!

I was so sad when it ended.

Yes, Rescue Me does have a similar feel, now that I think about it.

[JohnnyBoots]

11. It was actually based off a book Homicide by David Simon it

is non fiction pretty much, but it gives a good insight into who he picked to use as characters. It is great because you get to see the real people behind them. Homicide was one of the best shows ever, it is on DVD now but wicked $$$

4. I've never been able to get into it.

I think it's well done, it's just never grabbed me the way "The Shield" has.

Having to wait until 2006 for the next season of "The Shield" sucks. A lot.

9. LOL! Now, see, I have a hard time

getting into The Shield. :crazy:

Partly because they annoy the hell out of me with Sheild commercials in the middle of the Buffy reruns I watch. I can't imagine they think Buffy fans are Shield fans. :D

5. YES--

SAINT FLORIAN

PATRON SAINT OF FIRE FIGHTERS MEDICS, COASTIES -

AND THOSE WHO GO IN HARM'S WAY TO SAVE THOSE IN PERIL

<>

Dennis Leary "Tommie" needs all of the Patron Saints that he can find.

6. Never remember to watch it, but when my roommate does

and I'm around I will. I like it quite a bit.

[SoCalDem]

12. Yes.. I love it.. and just started watching the Shield

But then, Deadwood and Dead Like Me (shit on whoever for cancelling it)are y favorites too.. I like 'dark' shows :)and I have always liked Leary

13. Rescue Me is the perfect replacement for the Shield...

On the Shield, the cops are trying to balance the reality with the street with the concept of American Justice. You can see that after three seasons, that battle is taking a major toll on all the people...

It is a great contrast between those who compromise to get results and those who get results without compromise......

Dutch and CCH Pounder refuse to play the way Mackey does and so there is friction between the two...

But they are moving ever so close to at least seeing the other for what they really are, embattled cops trying to do a job....

On Rescue Me, the firefighters are struggling to put 9/11 in it's proper perspective and trying to rebuild personal life's they have sacrificed for the Job.....
