Editorial Reviews

Another contemporary "dramedy" series from the star-creator of The Job, Rescue Me revolved around the activities of a group of professional firefighters, operating Engine 61 in a post-9/11 New York City. Denis Leary headed the cast as senior firefighter Tommy Gavin, who had allowed the pressures of his job to botch up his home life, separating him from his wife Janet (Andrea Roth) and their three children. Even more disturbing was the fact that Tommy was constantly haunted by the ghosts of his dead comrades, and regularly carried on conversations with his deceased cousin, firefighter Jimmy Keefer (James McCaffrey). Nor was Tommy the only member of the Engine 61 team battling personal demons. Chief Jerry Reilly (Jack McAfee) was a compulsive gambler; handsome Sean Garrity (Steven Pasquale) was incapable of carrying on an intelligent conversation; and daredevil Franco Rivera (Daniel Sunjata) insisted upon living on the edge, both on and off the job, frequently with disastrous consequences. Meanwhile, Lt. Kenny "Lou" Shea (John Scurti) endeavored to channel his emotions and phobias into writing poems; and rookie Mike Silletti (Mike Lombardi) was kept busy trying to figure out what sort of practical joke would next be pulled on him by his sadistically prankish coworkers. The first season of Rescue Me was launched by the FX cable network on July 21, 2004. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Leary & crew in a tour de forceby BRL

August 09, 2009: Rare are the tv shows that can make you laugh with a tear in your eye, Leary and Tolan have delivered one such show. The show follows Leary (as fire fighter Tommy Gavin) who works with Ladder 62 NYPD and the increasingly tangled personal/professional lives of his co-workers and family. The humor at times is exceedingly black and the show doesn't shy away from uncomfortable situations. If your looking for a show that will make you think, feel, and laugh this is the show for you.

July 18, 2006: if you think fire fighters are saints, this show is as close to the truth as you're going to get!! After a couple decades in a firehouse, I've seen a lot of this in real life! I love this show!
