This show is the best show on TV. It is incredibly entertaining, so much so that we watch it on demand rather than live, so we can back it up to listen to things again. It is laugh out loud funny at times but can also bring tears to your eyes.
Tommy Gavin is so real, I feel sometimes like I know him in real life. He plays a firefighter who survived 9-11 and continues to have encounters with his cousin who was also at 9-11 but didn't survive. I know that sounds morbid, but it is funny.
The other guys at the firehouse deal with life as best they can, the rookies are a bit more brawn than brain. Once while Tommy went off on the guys when he was about to have a heartfelt encounter Tommy said to one of them. "You are such a moron. Spell Moron!" and the rookie replied "What do you want me to spell?".
Maybe you had to be there for that one and probably most of the gags wouldn't work stand alone, but this show has a tremendous talent of melding comedy and drama. It's a very original premise and it's a classic, I don't understand why everyone doesn't watch it.
