Emotional Rescue
all day ive been hearing about this new show on FX called Rescue Me. it stars Dennis Leary as a New York City fireman. ater all the positive reviews its been getting i have been curios about it. i just watched the first episode. it was very good. emotionally heavy at times.... but with some great humor mixed in as well. its not a drama, its not a comedy. i think they call these things a "dramedy" w/e you call it. i like it. its more real then dramas or comedies... since real life isnt so dramatic or funny, but more a mix of both.
anyways, for those who didnt catch it, Dennis Leary plays an NY fireman and is obviously a veteran of the job as the show opens with him addressing a group of recruits. he gives them a quick drill instructor type lecture and mentions 4 of the firemen that they lost on September 11th. the 4th of wich was his best friend and cousin. after the speech he goes and sits in his car... where the aforementioned dead friend is sitting. it took me a second to realize he hallucinates about dead victims. its kinda creepy... kinda sixth sense like. but the conversations he has with his dead cousin are pretty funny. aside from that the show covers the antics that go on within the firehouse as well as his drama at home. i recomend you guys check it out. thats all for now chaps.

as a side note, someone just left a comment on my "stairway to heaven" post regarding the accident that took place here in petaluma and the boy who died. the person, who later deleted her comment for w/e reason, corrected a misconception i made about the circumstances of the charges that may be filed against the driver. aperently the charges would not be filed by any of the involved parties but it is the responsibility of the District Attorney to decide if crminal charges are in order. i just wanted to clear that up and say that the Callan family has been very understanding of the tragic event. and thank you kim for clearing that up.
Hmm .. I wonder if the show is coming to aussieland (since I already think it's a good one from your recommendation).
have you heard of a show called the shield? it is along the same lines (the shield is a cop show) and they are made by the same people... so if you have the shield, its possible it is in your future.
i dunno if he sings the song.... but theres no need for name calling!
:P
Yes, he did.
