OT-Rescue Me

[Simon]

nobody would watch it.....it would probably suck less.

 

There is some sort of an interesting relationship between these statements.

I just can't quite figure it out, even thought I am a reality TV expert(i.e. about all I watch is sports and history).

They should put 'The Shield' and 'Rescue Me' on back to back. That would be a great night of TV. Blows the crap out of anything on the network stations.

Accurate, even though I don't really like "The Shield". But I like Denis Leary, and I think "Rescue Me" is perfect for his personality and sense of humor.

I thought the show was great!! It didn't seem like a soap opera because it was actually a realistic show dealing with the trials and tribulations of a New York City firefighter. I don't think much of it was as farfetched as some people have said in other posts. I'm pretty sure the reality of what firefighters go through on a daily basis, along with dealing with the post-9/11 traumatic syndrome, was brought out in that show. Leary is a great actor within his realm and he is perfect for a character like the one he portrays. I can't wait for the next season. How many other shows have someone punching out a priest? Just a classic!!

I too really liked the show. But according to some chick firemen I met recently in Houston, it does not reflect reality. Although they liked the show. They said the part about the guys razzing the women because they have their own bathroom, and actually using it was true.

 

I thought that was pretty funny.

 

Besides, I think the widow chick that Leary's character was banging is just totally hot.

i love it. how many other shows does a character play ice hockey? some of it is silly - the midget horse payer - but its still gets me roaring. and the ass on the show is pretty good.
