Rescue Me: Why We LoveIit and So Should Everybody Else

I'm a New Yorker, so I know real New York dialogue. Quick snark-ridden wit, with the camaraderie and constant putting each other down that groups of men find so necessary. There is always a pecking order, and the characters always know there place within it on this show.
The storyline is as fast paced as a New York minute, and they are not afraid to show the good and the bad of everyone. And I mean everyone. No character is a carricature, and you can't help but find yourself wanting to hang out with these people. And believe me, that says a lot, considering how dysfunctional they all are.
The show, thanks to the writers (Peter Tolan, Denis Leary, John Scurti, Robert Krausz, Salvatore Stabile, Micheal Caleo and Stephen Belber) does not stick to the cookie cutter formulas that let even the stupidest of people watching know where the storyline is going and what is going to happen next.

The show is centered around a firehouse and the firemen that work there. Tommy Gavin (played by Denis Leary) is the main character who deals with his everyday life while at the same time battling his demons from 9/11. I would tell you more about the show but I don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen it. I caught my first episode while season 4 was on, and I immediately bought the first 3 seasons to catch up. I would recommend everyone do the same.
There really is not too much that is intelligent or imaginative or new on TV these days, so give this great show a shot, it is on F/X on Tuesdays at 9 pm.

Where are They Now..vs.. Why Won't they Go Away?
Ever notice the celebrities you cant stand stick around like a bad smell but the celebrities you want to see more of disappear?
Here is our list of who needs to get off our cloud, and the ones that need to make a comeback:
GET OFF OUR CLOUD - WE DONT CARE WHERE YOU GO, JUST GO AWAY!
1) Charlie Sheen : apparently there are no other actors on earth, that is why they have to keep a wife beating, hooker hiring charmer like this employed. He should have been banished from acting just for hooking up with Denise Richards in the first place.
2) Paris Hilton - enough with this anal swab already!
3) The Kardashians - Did we need brunette versions of Paris Hilton? And someone needs to tell us WHY we are "Keeping up with them..."?
4) Lindsay Lohan - name the last artistic contribution she has made, better yet, name ANY artistic contribution she has made.
5) Actually anyone Famous for no good reason see numbers 2 and 3.
6) The cavemen and stupid money with eyes from the Geico commercials - Someone is getting paid BIG BUCKS to torture us with this shit!!!
7) The plastic eerie Burger King - the stuff of nightmares
8) Bill O'Reilly - self-explanatory
9) Denise Richards the train wreck to end all train wrecks. Ryan Seacrest is putting HER back on TV and should be punished as well

10) The Jonas Brothers - they aren't even cute.
11) TOM CRUISE - Pick a reason. Any reason. There are so many. And we put your photo Tom, because hate you the most and you look really stupid in this photo.
12) Will Smith - Now he is going to force his kids on us. Lovely.
13) All the real *cough* housewives of anywhere - I mean really, is that what REAL housewives do all day? What they do on the show?
WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF:
1) Debra Winger
2) Rosanna Arquette
3) Bill Pullman
4) Renee Russo
5) Helen Hunt
6) Liam Neeson
7) Hugh Grant
8) Keanu Reeves
9) Goldie Hawn
