Rescue Me Season 4
TV-14
An arson investigation following the beach house fire targets Tommy, Janet worries that her new baby doesn't like her, Colleen runs away from home, a not-guilty verdict is delivered in Uncle Teddy's manslaughter trial, Jerry commits suicide, the crew from 62 Truck is savaged in the press for not being able to save seven children from dying in a tragic fire - it's another season of challenge and turbulence for Tommy and the guys.

DVD Features:

  • 6 exclusive featurettes
  • Firehouse (real stories from America's bravest)
  • 22 deleted scenes
  • Gag reel
  • Minisodes: "Married . . . with Children" ("If Al Had a Hammer") and "Starsky & Hutch" ("Death Notice")

Critique:

This raw, dramatic series continues to perform above par, with adequate ups and downs, despite a slight decline in the fist-in-the-gut feeling throughout the entire season. "Babyface" is the premiere episode, bringing us back to the beach house fire that nearly killed Tommy (Dennis Leary), and of course he is accused of starting it...

This season bred more twists and turns with surprises in the mix, a few far-stretched scenarios reminded a bit of Nip Tuck's outrageous storylines of late. I am not sure I like the idea of this turning into a day-time drama series. Hopefully they will reign this one back to the grind next season. 

Final Analysis: If you like good TV drama with gritty characters that keep you on your toes, this is a great series to curl up to!

This Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 / 5

What the Flip?
Daniel Sargeant - Tuesday, 06 January 2009
MTV has their own little campaign going on for college students right now. They gave 100 Flip camcorders to 100 college students around the country and told them to get inspired and surprise us with some video footage of their own design. Different themes guided them, some were open-ended, others were scavenger hunts and others were questions only they could answer. Read More

newyearimage.jpgA lot has happened in 2008. Of course, it will go down in history as the year America elected Obama into office, the first African-American President. And, thankfully, the last year Bush has to ruin what's left of the country he has polluted for so many years.
