I am watching Rescue Me now for the first time. I just made it through season 1 and got stuck about 3 episodes into season 2. I really want to like it and it's definitely got its moments, but every once in a while you step back and see a house with 2 old fat guys and a midget living with an abusive, alcoholic firefighter and it's like... this is just absurd.
I really want to like it, though. If it gets worse going into season 3 and 4, then I probably won't make it that far. I have such a crush on Dianne Farr, though, it's not even funny.
