Latest episode clacks for this show:
With the exception of season finales, Rescue Me doesn’t usually resort to cliffhanger episodes. Although, to call last night’s ending a cliffhanger is somewhat misleading. When Tommy rushes into the flames to rescue Damien, we all know he’s not going to die. I mean, it’s Denis Leary’s show; he’s the star; he’s a co-writer and […]
“Sometimes surviving can be its own death sentence.” – Colonel Saul Tigh, Battlestar Galactica I’m often reminded of the above quote when I watch Rescue Me. Especially this season.

These are some of our favorites from […]
September 12, 2007. That was the last time the boys from Truck 62 graced our television screens. Thankfully, they have returned. The timing couldn’t be better considering we’re about to enter the dead zone as far as new programming is concerned. After such an interminable layoff, the FX execs have wisely decided to roll out […]
