TWoP Dropped Rescue Me
I’m sad to read that the wonderful Television Without Pity has dropped their coverage of Rescue Me:
Some fires burn too brightly. And some never really get past the embers stage. TWoP readers didn’t really take to the tale of a firefighter who was often drunk, irresponsible, sexist, racist, and homophobic, and therefore, it’s time to turn the hose on Rescue Me.
I personally think that Rescue Me is as up-front and visceral as it is in order to present some social commentary in there. Evidently they disagree.
My husband and I absolutely LOVE “Rescue Me” and cannot wait for it to come back. Dennis Leary and the rest of the cast members portray a very realistic view into the lives of our compassionate, caring, dedicated, selfless, and brave firefighters all over the country. But did ya think they don’t have personal and family problems like the rest of us? Well they do and I think its great that Dennis Leary and the rest of the writing team are so brilliant that they show us all aspects of everyday life for these men (and women)and their families in such a way that for an hour I cannot take my eyes off of the television.
