For a while, Uncle Teddy was actually happy. He was drinking again, but his wife, Ellie , was supporting him, drunk or sober.

Sometimes you have to play with fire. The fourth season of Rescue Me wasn't quite up to snuff when compared to the previous seasons , but FX still decided it was time to one of its flagship shows into the big leagues by giving Rescue Me a complete, 22-episode season for its fifth outing.

This week's episode of Rescue Me was absolutely outstanding. I watched the entire episode on the edge of my seat, engaged into the TV screen, as one thing transpired after another.

By Jonathan Toomey As much as I've enjoyed the renewed focus on 9/11 that Rescue Me has delved into this season, you have to admit that it has taken away from the other big part of this show: the Gavin family.

By Jonathan Toomey Rescue Me itself is sort of in the same boat. After a lackluster and critically panned fourth season, the Denis Leary FDNY drama screwed up. Thanks in part to the writer's strike, an extended hiatus has given most fans time to forget and I, for one, have forgiven. Rescue Me is finally back after...

By Richard Overall, this was a good episode that just tried to do too much.
