been volunteer for 5 years, i agree rescue me way better then chicago fire, chicago fire they talk to each other from across the room even with a mask on when you cant here your partner from a foot away
Yeah I'm the Corps, the FDNY, etc believe me shows like Rescue Me encapsulate the truest side of dangerous jobs and the banter and how it actually is not hero movies or shows like Chicago Fire.....
I started watching this show when I was in college, when it originally aired. It was Tommy's character that tought me about what kind of men women are actually attracted to. I stopped trying to be the nice guy. And my 20s was a very fun time for me. This was long before any of the red pill or manospere stuff started coming out.
Thanks for bringing Fx on TH-cam for backup if it was it for The Sons Of Anarchy, Archer, Justified, The Americans, Sex and Drugs Rock & Roll And The Shield, I wouldn’t be part of this mess.
After like watching season 1 to the new episode back and forth and watching something way back to here kinda makes you miss all the main characters and Lou's Moustache dammit why Lou moustache whyyyyyy
But thats because Learys ego went to his head and he wrote way too forced drama storylines and dialog later in the series. The show was meant as an ensemble changing between drama and comedy incuding all main characters . Leary made it all about himself at some point and to do that created a lot of unbelievable drama for his character. Also he was inconsistent in how he developed the characters later in the show. It was just too much and changed into a soap opera, but the first seasons were gold and these characters had a ton of redeeming qualities.
This show never failed to get great laughs while educating at the same time... Leary was awesome...
"these are the moments that I live for Tommy" lol gotta love old school firefighters in the vein of Chief Reilly
He actually was FDNY before he became an actor in 38 engine
Rescue me puts that Chicago Fire to shame. My brother is a fireman and says this is exactly how real firemen are not Chicago Fire.
That's awesome, respect to your brother
It's so true. Ask any actual full time firefighter and they'll tell you the same thing.
Been with the FDNY for 12 years. This show couldn’t be more on point
true. my dad was with a department for 10+ years and said the same.

Great show! Great actors! America, in different times… 🇺🇸 🚒
Chief Jerry Reilly is arguably one of, if not THE best on-screen firefighter characters ever.
I agree I liked chief Reilly better than needles and the other Jewish chief in the end
He was actually fdny firefighter in the bronx in the 70s and 80s.
Yes! Was so bummed when they got rid of him. Loved him in backdraft as well
Facts dude
I miss this show.
It was a real one of a kind series.
9 years later, but yeah. I miss this show too.
Re-watching it now
1:21 "You lucky prick, you" I effing love Lou
‘I have to go now”…..superb!
Lou's reaction :D "I have to go now."
So he could go laugh his ass off. lol
the followup scenes are also hilarious XD
“I reached under her dress and HELLO-OO!” 😂 he even let her finish blowing him because he didn’t want to be rude!
They did their proper research and justification to how these men in this era acted. Genius script writing that might not be possible today
Yea bro…they still act like this, don’t be fooled by fake social media outrage
Yeah I'm the Corps, the FDNY, etc believe me shows like Rescue Me encapsulate the truest side of dangerous jobs and the banter and how it actually is not hero movies or shows like Chicago Fire.....
Wow you said "this era" and my mid-life crisis began.
We’re still in that era thankfully.
i can see her adams apple without my reading glasses.
One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen
Man I loved this show, bring it back !
You can't the ending was too perfect and there is absolutely no way that you could get 3/4s of this through the snowflake board
@@patrickharvey158
What about a prequel set in 1970s Bronx ?
I mean, Tommy mentioned Reilly worked 14 jobs a night in that time.
@@Inaf1987 that would be awesome!

"it was more like a james earl jones i'm fine"... run... don't look, just... run
Ughhhh...I miss this show!!!!!

Chicago Fire couldn't hold Rescue Me's jock.
I've never watched Chicago Fire and unfortunately Rescue Me only ran for 3 seasons here in the UK it was one of the best fire fighter dramas ever.
Agreed! I can't even watch any other Fire show after Rescue Me. They set the bar... ALL pale in comparison.
So many better shows came before the eye-rolling Chicago Fire. ER, Third Watch, and Rescue Me.
Great show. TV used to be much better. RIP to great shows like this one.
Dating in 2023:
There were a lot of hilarious moments!
“ he’s jealous” 🙈😂😂
I retired from Atlanta Fire in 2000. This show was exactly like life at the firehouse actually is.
Even the ending? I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it but it seems insane
I love this show so much... This is why I got Hulu
Y love this series miss you ❤
Garrity looks like Matt Donovan on Vampire Diaries
Very cute, too
Hey MKE Uhhhhh... "Watch THIS - Sean's going AFTER the ONE!!" Hey Garraty... That's a $1.99 @ Spencers Records and TAPEs TOLEDO's #1 WHAT????
Man this show had the funniest and darkest moments on TV
Yeah this would be totally banned nowadays in PC America smh 🙄 miss this show!
Bro it’s a show. Not a religion. Lmao
Lou: ".....I have to go now."
No way they could make this show today.
It's like a beautiful museum piece.
I really need to watch this show...
lol. If it wasn’t for my wife, high blood pressure, and low sex drive I would be on that
The show I'm just watching it now,😊 is perfect similarity to NYPD Blue. Real life portrayed by actors.
James Earl Jones Hi......lmao...This show was outstanding and way ahead of its time....Shame the PC Generation would have a fuckin fit watching this
Back when comedy was funny and people had a sense of humor. Well, guess what? It's still f**king funny to people that have a spine!
You're so brave
This show redpilled the millenials.
The trans guy has no bulge. Maybe he got a sex change operation. That would make the situation with Garrity even funnier 😂😂
miss this show!!!!!!!!!
i miss this show
Damn I miss Rescue me
season 1, episode is called revenge
After like watching season 1 to the new episode back and forth and watching something way back to here kinda makes you miss all the main characters and Lou's Moustache dammit why Lou moustache whyyyyyy
Actually the one in the pink top is kind of hot
Miss this
Classic
First couple seasons were really good, then I lost interest. I should probably go back and finish it, no?
The end is heartbreaking
You definitely should
It did get a little weird later in the seasons. But, it still was outstanding.
it went from great drama and comedy to dogshit soap opera. Leary was the reason for that. Quality of dialog went way down other than some exceptions.
whats that word coward mean it may mean different things to different people
🗽❤️🔥
man, the guys in my dept. did the same thing when i was probie
zacky123ization stop pretending to be a fire fighter online ya sad act
without including the conclusion of that segment, this clip is stupid. Are we supposed to guess the outcome of that episode???
Continue being a civil human being "kind" sir and or madam.
I love this Fucking show.
@Ramtough93 R.I.P.
was she a guy?
pool741 yesss
Day 42 of being a girl....
Not that athletic.......
😂
Ohhhhhh man he said “tranny” cancel the show, delete TH-cam, become a monk at a Central Europe monastery
I’ve rewatched the whole series and come to the conclusion that there’s not a single character with any redeeming qualities. I wish they had all died.
Lighten up Francis! It's a comedy!!! 🤔😳🙄
We love funny asshole characters, though
