Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 8:08 pm

The writer’s strike killed Rescue Me last spring, so they held off and are now offering us a full 22-episodes instead of the usual 13 that cable shows air. Can we handle that much firefighter goodness?

Season Finales: United States of Tara, Trust Me, Life, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Friday Night Lights

Trailer

Synopsis: Tommy doesn’t know what to make of the new guy that Janet is dating (Michael J. Fox) while the guys try to figure out how to spend the money that Mike’s mom left him.

My Take: The show got pretty dark and grim around season three, but improved greatly last season when it found the right balance of gritty realism mixed with completely messed up hilarity.
