I like Rescue Me. It’s gritty, sad, funny, has some cool camera work, and boasts a kick ass opening sequence that does justice to the Von Bondies song “C’mon, C’mon.” I was curious about the series when I saw the previews prior to its premiere, but it was hearing that song linked up with the images that made me stick around. I’ve been pleased with the program so far.
I knew that FX Networks picked up the series for a third season, but it’s been a painfully long time to hear any news about it. So when Rebecca asked me about it, I came up with this.
I watch my server logs: I know that a lot of Googlers get here wondering about FX’s Rescue Me, a show that I really, really happen to love. Lately, folks seem to wonder: “When is the new season of Rescue Me going to start?” Best as I can tell, we can expect that sometime in the second quarter of 2006—I’d bet on May. [ijsm.org]
The Wikipedia entry about Rescue Me[wiki] also points to a May 30th debut for the first episode of season three on FX, catch it on Showcase here in Canada. At least I hope Showcase picks it up as well.
Oddly enough, Rebecca made a post about Showcase today. Perhaps our conversations spur blog posts, eh?
John: You had to dig down into the comments to find my self-trackback, but … indeed, 30 May 2006 is the date.
Freaking sweet! Thanks for the extra info! 🙂
Ah, but is that the Canadian release date? We are notoriously months behind season opener dates for shows that are primarily shown in the states. Especially for specialty shows or ones that are shown on Bravo, Showcase or Space.
I just saw that Canadian premiere of Rescue Me is on Aug. 30
we just watched episode 2 of season 3… um… wow … yeah… i love this show – still wiping the tears from my eyes … boy….
Aug 30th is a wednesday night, did it change nights or is it on Aug 29th? I don’t want to miss it.
Song from episode 4???? of season three of course…….
