Apparently, the people who put this show together back in 2001 never gave up on the talent and great ideas. Having just recently finished all the "Rescue Me" episodes, I felt like I just lost a good friend or broke up with a girlfriend with no more episodes to watch. Then I came across this old show with Dennis Leary and decided to give it a try since he is usually a great performer. I actually went up against him in audition for "Demolition Man" back in the day before I decided I was tired of going on auditions and set out to make some real money. LOL, My agent told me the job was already his before I even left for Hollywood.
Back to the show...Well, so far, so good. It is basically the same show as "Rescue Me" but instead with cops. Many of the same actors and the same type of New York humor. I have not finished all the episodes but am happy to have found it. This definitely was the inspiration to "Rescue Me" and I guess after the popularity the NYFD reached a peak, the creators decided to bring new life to their great original idea in "The Job".
