On Rescue Me, being a drinker is practically a prerequisite to being a Gavin. But if there's an exception to the rule, it's Andrea Roth's character Janet — at least for now.
In Tuesday's episode, Janet and ex-husband Tommy (Denis Leary) — who recently resumed his dangerous up-and-down battle with the sauce — visit their daughter Katie (Olivia Crocicchia) at her Connecticut boarding school, a place Roth says Katie ran to seeking refuge from her dysfunctional parents.
"[Katie] was very unhappy," Roth tells TVGuide.com. "Obviously, they've failed as parents ...

First of all thanks to Mickey for covering last weeks very trippy episode while I did a little traveling of my own I have to admit that after watching the episode several days later I was somewhat relieved about not having to sort through Desmonds stickiness issues However I do wish I could have shared with all of you how truly touched I was by the phone reunion between Desmond and Penny I read through most of your comments and I am very firmly in the camp of those who feel that Desmond and Pennys love story is really the heart of the show And Jack and Kate are the soul and Sawyer and Kate are the libido But enough about last week lets focus on the nowIts very stressful being an Other Jack Though at the time she was being sarcastic it seems like Juliet really hit the nail on the head Just ask Ethan and Goodwin and Tom andwell lets just say that the Others have faced their share of adversity and gu

Cheers to the Rescue Me crew for keeping their careers simmering. Andrea Roth was suitably creepy as Juliet's island therapist on Lost, and John Scurti (sans his firefighter 'stache) was surprisingly convincing as a no-nonsense judge on Law & Order. Meanwhile, James McCaffrey sizzles as Julianna Margulies' P.I. paramour on exec producer Denis Leary's new Fox drama Canterbury's Law. With the news that the strike may have pushed Rescue's traditional summer season back until next March, these side gigs could be fans' only lifelines.For more on Lost, check out the new Cheers & Jeers vodcast.

Quite a packed episode this Veteran scriptwriter Don McGill and whoever else mightve had a hand in it managed to get at least an episode and a halfs worth of incident in wrapped around solving the central case but with plenty of little nudges toward resolving aspects of the longer arcs within the series some of those resolved or at least dealt with perhaps a little too quickly Thanks to any number of crime dramas we mightve seen before ranging from Grand Guignol and its heirs the weirder edge of film noir and contemporary English suspensehorror films and German krimis and Italian gialli and on up through that other film with a digit in its title Se7en and its contemporaries and all the crime fiction that helped to inspire them this episodes fanatic is a familiar type One might even have grown accustomed to his sort from the other procedurals and policeinvestigator shows This is where spoilers will become more explicitBut what was most remarkable about
