In Need of A 'Rescue'

So, how many of you have seen and/or heard of the FX hit drama, "Rescue Me"?

For those that might not know anything about "Rescue Me," here is an official description of the show:

Tommy Gavin is a lifesaver. Whether he is pulling survivors from fiery high-rise infernos or the twisted steel of a subway collision, Gavin takes great pride in leading the heroic but often overwhelmed firefighters of New York City's Truck Company 62. Gavin (Denis Leary) is also a man drifting between sorrow and anger over a recent separation from his wife (Andrea Roth) and three kids, and recurring memories of comrades and New Yorkers fallen victim. Leary and multiple Emmy Award-winning writer-producer Peter Tolan ("The Larry Sanders Show," "Murphy Brown"), the team behind the critically-acclaimed cop drama "The Job," have re-teamed as creators, writers and executive producers of "Rescue Me."

I have to tell you, this is my new favorite show. I watch it religiously and never miss an episode. The first season was a big hit and was absolutely awesome. The first season ended back in September and has been on hiatus since. I am having withdrawals and am itching for a "Rescue Me" fix, bad.

From the looks of the promos that I have seen for the second season, if I thought that first season was great, I haven't seen anything yet. Each time I see a promo, I get the itch. Luckily though, the new season starts June 21st.

The first season is being released on DVD this coming Tuesday. It will be a 3-disc set with all 13 episodes and will be packed with special features. The special features include: commentary of the first and last episodes with the show's creators, Denis Leary and Peter Tolan; a blooper reels, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and a sneak peak at Season 2. This DVD is going to be off the hook and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
