Rescue Me

________________________________________________________________________________

This ep is listed as being 65 minutes long.

and the Short on the show's website is pretty damn amusing.

At least we have one excellent show to look forward to during the summer. :D

Hell yes it's finally here!

:banana: Can't wait!

w00t!

Arguably my favorite show right now. Happy for its return. :up:

Agreed, one of the best shows on tv returns!

Just finished season 2. Can't wait for tonight!

I have only seen this show on dvd and LOVE it. I can't wait for the third season, but can anyone tell me if it airs in widescreen?

It does, but remember - FX doesn't have an HD channel.

YOU'RE excited? Feel these nipples!

What happened in the last episode? I can not remember what happened to Teddy.

What began as a wry and poignant post-Sept. 11 examination of the New York firefighter soul has upped its game to stand as true art. "Rescue Me" opens its third season with a trio of episodes that establish the seriocomic FX hour as quite possibly the finest drama on television and on a par with "The Sopranos" as the best written.

The threesome is by turns sardonic, wrenching, mocking, brutal, lighthearted and powerful, with Denis Leary evolving before our eyes from a comic-turned-actor into an earnest, fearless performer. It's as if the guy has somehow channeled his inner James Dean the way he embodies such raw, animal passion and hostility. Moreover, Leary and co-creator/exec producer Peter Tolan pull off the trick of moving between tones and genres with utter seamlessness in their co-written scripts, rendering categorization itself essentially obsolete.



If Emmy voters ignore this show and/or Leary's scintillating performance, it could only mean they've lapsed into a collective coma.

:up: I've been looking forward to this for some time now.

Cant frikin wait!

As long as it's not fullscreen I can deal. Thanks for the info.

Edit: It's nice to finally see Dean Winters get his name in the main titles.

Dayum! Paige Turco (Mrs. Turbity) is still looking fine these days. Loving how flustered Tommy got in her presence, and now he's scheming to hit it and put a wedge between her and his godson. Good stuff.

Understatement!

Guys, if you haven't seen this Rescue Me short, go to the website and see it NOW - it is freaking hilarious!

As much as I enjoyed the episode, the teaser for The Shield had me salivating.

Well, looks like it's going to be another fantastic season!

Yah, F-in Fantastic, for sure!

Just wait until Tommy finds out who's now schtuppin' Janet.

"I didn't know he was a Pink Floyd fan."

"That's Green Day asshole":lol:

Great start to the season.

Tommy's going to go apeshit when he finds out his brother is banging Janet.

The smoking scene when the Chief instituted the kitty was hysterical.

And I second (or third, lost count) the short at either www.fxnetwork.com or www.aol.com - it was a riot, and it better be on the third season DVD.

I finally figured out why more people aren't watching this show - it can be difficult to go from depression and tears to laughing your ass off in a minute. Those of us who are wiser and more ambi-emotional are surely blessed to have a show that appeals to our abilities. (/snark)

But seriously, the way the show goes from one extreme to the other is pretty jarring but worth it.

And now I can't wait for The Shield.

I didn't want to build it up too much and then have it be a let down for somebody.
