Rescue Me, One of the Best and Worst Shows on TV

There is one problem with the copious amounts of channels that exist on cable TV today; great shows are often lost in the jungle of crap that is out there. Wednesday nights highlight this dilemma, as much of America watches crap TV like "Deal or No Deal" or "America's got Talent" Denis Learys, amazing show "Rescue Me" will mostly be watched by it's already established fans.

Perhaps this is because it's on FX, or perhaps because when most people think Denis Leary they think Quaker State, but this show is only now beginning to get the acclaim for which it is certainly due. I wont ruin too much of the story, as Season 4 starts tonight (Wed), but basically Denis Leary plays an alcoholic New York firefighter struggling with the after effects of September 11th, his alcoholism, his ability to see certain ghosts, and his general messed up life. Seasons 1-3 are on DVD and target often has them on sale. They are absolutely worth picking up. Seriously, what is this show doing on FX! (FX, yes I too have to look up what the hell channel FX is on, 10 PM wed, Encore at 11PM and othertimes)
