Why I love this TV show

Am I really a guy? Well, then why do I gravitate towards these gritty dramas rather than a sweet show on the Hallmark Channel? Or the Oxygen channel?

I don't know. I just know what I like. And these guys can rescue me any time they want.

The show is Rescue Me. It was created by Denis Leary, who also stars, as a tribute to the NYPD as they deal with Life After 911. The show airs on the FX channel, but the new season won't be out until March 2009. And that's when Michael J. Fox joins the cast. Should be good.

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .

UPDATE! Here's where I got the snow. Thanks to my blogger friend, Daryl!

The Ice Cream Man Cometh (Rescue Me)

I have a confession to make. It's about my favorite show on TV. And most of you probably have never seen it.
It plays on the FX channel and it's not a 'chick flick'. It's more of a guy show, but I can't get enough. My favorite show is Rescue Me, and stars Denis Leary.

I know, tie me up and call me raunchy. But I LOVE this show.

Rescue Me centers on the inner workings of Engine 62, a New York City firehouse, and the personal and emotional battles of its members in a post 9-11 world. The show's main character is Tommy Gavin, played by Denis Leary. He's a mess, but he's the best fireman going. I love the grittiness of this show and find it fascinating to watch because it's like no life I've ever known.
And I especially like that I'm constantly reminded of the firefighters who gave their lives during one of our country's most horrible tragedies.
I haven't seen a new episode for about a year, and Season 5 isn't scheduled to air until March of 2009! But until then, they're apparently taping 'minisodes' that I came across on YouTube this weekend.
This is the first time I've ever done this on my blog, but it's my blog so I can do what I want. I will warn you, however, that there is cursing in this one. And I've found the least raunchy one to show you. In fact, this mini-clip is almost 'cute'.
Now you know my dark secret. Please, don't judge me.


And you thought this was going to be a sweet Country Girl post.
Until tomorrow, my friends. Or until the ice cream man comes again.
