I'm Mr. No Info post tonight (see the Amish thread) but I'm watching this right now and it's really good. And really accurate, I gotta say.

This is a surprisingly good show. Leary has a knack for creating intriguing characters (re: The Job) and supporting players. Great music selection in tonight's episode too.

I liked this ep, even though I missed some of it because the dog puked on the dining room carpet.
They did a good job w/ the exchange between him and his wife when they were discussing her moving away from NY w/ the kids.
And the the stupid sonofabitch who waxed his balls.
Great mix of drama and comedy - I think FX has another hit on its hands.

I thought this was another good episode. The guy who waxed his balls was pretty funny. It was interesting to read in tv guide a week ago that Jack McGee, who plays the Chief, is a FDNY alum in real life. I wasn't very suprised by that though because he seems to play the part perfectly.

Solid episode.
The dead cousin didn't get on my nerves like last time some more funny stuff in the fire house.
Leary's chinese food line at the scene with the burnt wife has me

I liked this one better than the first, though both were good episodes. I told my dad about this series because he is a fireman, and he told me that the guys at the station were also recommending the program to him. Unfortunetly I don't think he was able to watch it, because he had a fire meeting.
But this is good stuff and I'll continue to watch.

Man, this show is good. If FX keeps this up with original programming, they'll soon be light years ahead of everyone else.

This show (assuming this level of quality is maintained) puts F/X ahead of HBO in my book. F/X has the 2 best shows on TV in Nip/Tuck and The Shield. This is a strong offering. All I watch on HBO is Sopranos, Deadwood, and Entourage. Plus F/X has another potentially strong drama on the way with Thief starring Andre Braugher.

*sigh* Don't blame us for your poor taste.
The Wire, Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Curb Your Enthusiasm, On the Record, Def Poetry, Da Ali G Show, Real Sports, and then there's that whole movie thing they do better than most theatrical releases. Don't get me wrong ... FX is really trying to cement itself as second place here, but let's not get silly now.
As for the episode, I'll be honest ... I thought the premiere was a little too full of itself. It was enjoyable, but it just felt way too self-aware for me. I thought they found their tone much better this week, and I really enjoyed it. I hope they can keep this up.

Has nothing to do with taste. Has everything to do with being able to keep one's eyes open during most of those shows. Of course, I guess some people just like everything.
