rescue me

burning (sorry, had to go there) into it's third season on FX, rescue me has slowly become one of the more compelling summer series around on tv. with the messed up tommy (played wonderfully by denis leary) leading his band of firefighters and family, the irony is that the fires are actually a solace from their crazy mega dysfunctional lives. this year also throws susan sarandon, marisa tomei and tatum o'neal into the mix, complicating it for everyone.

amidst all this is a strangely sweet storyline of provie junior mike (michael lombardi). seems like his days of hazing are coming to an end and he's torn with his allegiance to the firehouse that he started with and a completely more respected new identity at another one. add to the fact that he's getting closer to his male roomate and you've got an interesting year for this guy.

but knowing the outcome of this show, it'll be messed up like the rest of the storylines (which makes it oh so much fun).



for those who've never seen the show, seasons 1 & 2 are available on dvd. for the current season, most of you should know how to get them by now.
