Breaking: FX Fires Up Fifth Season of Rescue Me | Ausiello Report | 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

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... read more
Exclusive: Jennifer Esposito Heats Up Rescue Me | Ausiello Report | 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
