An excellent season of hilarious, intense and zany episodes concluded in less than satisfying, but more than appropriate fashion. Teddy, who was a nonentity for months, magically reappeared a couple weeks ago. Much to my dismay, he ended up being significant to the Tommy Gavin character arc. Even though I disliked Teddy this go around, […]
They are attempting to tie up all the loose ends on Rescue Me. Next week’s finale promises to be a doozy, I think. Last night they put to bed the Franco and Mike story threads. Why the writers dropped Franco’s 9/11 subplot and replaced it with an uninspired boxing angle is still a mystery. He […]
Two episodes to go in Rescue Me‘s fifth season. How will it all end? That’s the million-dollar question, but it’s not the only one I have, as we drive toward the finale. It’s been a topsy-turvy ride for Tommy Gavin, even more so than usual. Yeah, he’s pretty much dealing with the same problems he […]
Season five is winding down. Only two episodes remain in what has been a major comeback for Rescue Me. After a deplorable fourth season, the series looked to have run out of steam. A 19 month hiatus is just what the TV doctor ordered. As the end nears, I can’t help but feel the other […]
WARNING! If you dislike guy humor involving junk, sausage, peckers, cocks, balls, penises, trouser snakes, and/or schlongs, then this probably isn’t for you. The immature boys of 62 Truck engaged in what might be their finest juvenile romp in the five-year history of Rescue Me. Yeah, I laughed out loud the whole damn time. My […]
Back-to-back ho-hum episodes for Rescue Me. I call these last couple the calm before the storm. Only five chapters remain in what has been, in my opinion, the best season since number two. The drama has been ratcheted up big time, so a short hiatus to goof off comes as a welcome reprieve. Since there […]
This episode was definitely of the filler variety. Funny filler, but filler nonetheless. Tommy’s perpetual boozing landed him in Needles’ doghouse, again. Tommy may be a drunken wreck, but he still lives quite a charmed life. His cleaning the firehouse punishment gets him a look at a hot Russian vagina and a quickie with Janet […]
