DVD Review: ‘Rescue Me’ Concludes With Sixth, Final Season
Submitted by BrianTT on September 20, 2011 - 12:58pmCHICAGO – I’ll miss Tommy Gavin. FX officially said goodbye this month to the final survivor of their breakthrough slate of dramas as “Rescue Me” joined “The Shield” and “Nip/Tuck” in the great cable show graveyard in the sky. The network has ably moved forward with phase two of their legacy but there was something comforting and reliable about Tommy and the boys on “Rescue Me” still being around. The sixth and final season DVD release serves as a fitting fourth quarter for this talented team.
TV Review: Denis Leary Suits Up For Final Season of ‘Rescue Me’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 13, 2011 - 11:18amCHICAGO – It’s hard to believe that we’ve been through six seasons of FX’s beloved “Rescue Me,” a show that never really took off with a very wide audience but has loyal, ardent followers.

TV Review: ‘Rescue Me’ Struggles to Keep Creative Fires Burning
Submitted by BrianTT on June 29, 2010 - 10:43amCHICAGO – When the first four episodes of the new season of “Rescue Me” allows the actors to merely live in the shoes of these characters they know so well after five seasons on the air then the show finds some of the magic that it produced more consistently in its superior early seasons. Sadly, the writers know they can’t just shoot a drama about guys hanging out in a firehouse and the scripted drama often doesn’t click.
