Rescue Me
10 pm/ET FX
When last we saw Tommy Gavin (a very long 19 months ago), he was sitting next to his dead dad in the stands of a minor-league ballpark. He'll bury Michael Gavin tonight with his characteristic flair, then get on with his life. Priority No. 1: Deal with that Section 8 procedure Chief Feinberg has initiated against him. Why, then, is Feinberg acting so nice? Meanwhile, Colleen has a new boyfriend she doesn't want Tommy to know about, and so does Janet. Michael J. Fox guest stars.

When will Kim Bauer be coming back to 24? And will it have anything to do with the bio-weapon Jack has been exposed to? — Yong
MATT: When I asked Kiefer Sutherland about the nature of Kim's latest encore (slated for mid-April), he said, "Something has happened to Jack, and it's he who asks for her — normally it's the other away around." Kiefer went on to call the father-daughter reunion "very human and real ... a part of the show I'm excited for the audience to see." So your theory sounds about right. Just don't expect the now-married Kim to have Pony Boy at her side; her Season 5 romance apparently didn't take.

Are we ever going to see the Scavo twins on Desperate Housewives again? I love those goofy bastards. — Rachel
MICKEY: No word on Dumb or Dumber, but if it's adolescent angst you're hankering for, get a load of this: Another Housewife will soon ... read more 35 Comments
Breaking: FX Fires Up Fifth Season of Rescue Me | Today's News: Our Take | 11/1/2007
Better late than never.An FX spokesperson confirms that Rescue Me has finally been renewed for a 22-episode fifth season. Production is slated to get under way in the spring, give or take a few months (or years) depending on how this whole writers'-strike thing shakes out. [Gulp] The 22 episodes will air in two separate cycles, although FX isn't saying when the first batch will debut. It's not clear what took the cable net so long to pick up one of its flagship programs. Maybe they were as unimpressed with Season 4 as the rest of us? Eh, it was probably just some pesky red tape. Regardless, I'm glad Tommy and Co. will be back. A subpar Rescue Me is still better than 50 percent of the crap that's out there. You with me? I think you are.... read more
June 20, 2007: Bank Statements | TV Show Recaps | 6/21/2007
She’s alive! I can’t really take credit for predicting that correctly, as I never even entertained the idea that Sheila might be dead until I read some of your comments, which did pose a good theory. I suppose that’s because I simply wanted Sheila to be alive. I did mistakenly get the impression that she was hiding out though, and that’s not the case either. She’s alive and well, playing with Tommy as always — lying to him, making him jealous with her volunteer fireman, spraying him with perfume: Sheila: “It’s Curious by Britney Spears. It’s fancy.” Tommy: “Yeah well, the mystery’s over, she’s a whore.”Sheila’s version of the truth did make for a lovely story though, what with an attempted rescue by Tommy and then a tragic fall down the stairs. Funny, she totally skipped over the whole “Tommy I drugged you” part. I love that Tommy was more concerned with his alleged performance problem than with the... read more
Exclusive: Jennifer Esposito Heats Up Rescue Me | Today's News: Our Take | 2/4/2007
Is Rescue Me finally getting around to replacing Diane Farr at Engine 62? It would appear so, based on a tip I just received that Jennifer Esposito — aka Mrs. Bradley Cooper — is joining the cast as a volunteer firefighter and a potential love interest for Denis Leary's Tommy. According to my RM insider, we'll discover in the Season 4 premiere (slated for June) that the two share a very surprising connection that may or may not date back to last season's fiery cliff-hanger. Speaking of Rescue Me, remind me to share with you in this week's AA the new piece of prattle I stumbled upon concerning the (Spoiler alert) big death coming early in the season. 'Cause with all I got going on this week (read: Scrubs!), I will forget. read more
