[edit] Season 4 Section

The "synopsis" of season 4 as it currently stands is in need of either a complete overhaul or a deletion. As it now stands, it reads like something one might find in a gushing press release, which isn't exactly what we need from an encyclopedia entry. This kind of worshipful, fan-boy nonsense is frankly embarassing, and I'm taking down the whole subsection in a week (to be replaced by something like "Rescue Me has been renewed for a fourth season, to begin in 2007") if nobody can give me a good reason to keep it up there.

[edit] Page moves

ummmm, I watch Rescue Me every week, and I would not classify it as a dramedy, it is most clearly categorized as a drama, and i am changing it. Mac Domhnaill 05:25, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Go for it. Having a neologism like dramedy in the title seems inappropriate anyway. Since Rescue Me is already taken, how about Rescue Me (drama)? —HorsePunchKid→龜 05:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
It's not stricly a drama, it is also a comedy, so it would be a Comedy-drama. Thunderbrand 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

"Dramedy" offends my sensibilities. The show certainly isn't a comedy. It's funny, but funny in the way real life is funny you know. Of course, real life is a tragedy, ha ha. Oh... Uh... Are there other shows categorized by "dramedy" though? Because if this is the only one, then the title is ridiculous. TotalTommyTerror 19:14, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

After reading its summaries online on tv.com, etc, I have to agree with Thunderbrand. It is a dramedy but the proper term that should be used is Comedy-drama.
Should it be moved to Rescue Me (comedy-drama) then? Thunderbrand 20:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Comedy-Drama. TotalTommyTerror 15:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I disagree. It certainly is funny at times, but I would place it squarely in the realm of drama. And I think both "dramedy" and "comedy-drama", or any other combination, is kinda wishy-washy. Why can't we just leave "(TV series)" in the title and not put a genre up there?Rasi2290

[edit] Changing the article organization

Just letting everyone know that I'm going to be moving stuff around on the article, everything will remain the same for the time being as I begin reorganizing, afterwards we'll be able to improve on the article by adding character profiles and so forth. -- Makaio 22:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

That is good. This article really needs a good clean-up. Thunderbrand 16:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Just as a warning, I'm really bad with spelling sometimes, so the stuff that is added does need to be checked for proper spelling. -- Makaio 04:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

That list of characters is huge. I recommend that we keep this article about the core of the show and move characters to either their own wikis or a compendium "List of Rescue Me characters" page as has been done with other series. TotalTommyTerror 09:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it is rather a long list. I will create a new page later if you have not already done so. Thunderbrand 17:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I went ahead and created the page. I also started writing short season summaries, so this article isn't just a list of sister articles. Thunderbrand 17:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Any chance you might finish the season 1 summary? (Steampowered 10:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC))
Probably not. I was going to buy the season 1 DVD, but never got to it. My memory for the first season isn't that great. Thunderbrand 16:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd do it myself, but I've only seen a few episodes from Season 1, and I don't plan on going out and getting the DVD anytime soon. (Steampowered 19:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)).

[edit] Tommy Gavin

A link to Tommy's article is now in the main characters section. If anyone would like to help add onto that article as well as this one, that would be great. -- Makaio 23:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Projected ideas

Thinking about making two new pages, one for the characters, and one for the episode lists with their summaries. Of coarse the main page (this article) would keep most of the main cast while giving a link to the entire list of characters, but the episode lists would be switched out for semi-detailed overviews of each season with a link to the expanded article with the episode list. Basically, this idea would keep the main page organized as it grows. However since this page still isn't really big enough, I thought it would be a nice idea for all contributors to think about as a goal. -- Makaio 00:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Funny you should say because I was gonna talk about moving the episode summaries to their own page. I copied the table from Deadwood, but they moved theirs to a seperate page. I agree that there should be a seperate episode page, seeing how the show is going into season 3 soon and all. They also have a nice character page at Characters of Deadwood. Thunderbrand 00:25, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Rescue Me episodes

porbably make the eps list in it's own article.--Dangerous-Boy 06:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Job

leary wears a yellow shirt with a picture of a revolver on the back and the words 'THE JOB' on the front. is this a reference to the show of the same name he was in earlier? -Lordraydens 19:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Um... no idea. --Makaio 03:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
very likely Bwithh 04:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes see: The Job (TV series). There seems to be a lot of connections between the shows! Nigel Wick 16:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MUSIC

The Rescue Me soundtrack is amazing...the music needs to be updated for season three...

[edit] Season 4?

Has this show been picked up for a 4th season yet? 24.218.110.67 02:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes it has.

Can I get a link to confirm that? 205.157.244.33 19:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if there are any links to confirm it or disprove it. But there has been alot of "talk" about the filming of the fourth season. Especially on the Howard Stern show, as Artie Lange auditioned to be one of the minor characters in the next season. -- Makaio 19:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
A fourth season of 13 episodes was confirmed on July 12, 2006: [1]. -- SmokeDetector47( TALK ) 19:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mike/Chris affair

Who deleted what I had typed earlier? Anyways, did they really say this? And mIke shouldn't leave cause he's bi-courious. That's just messed up. What I'm asking is that did they say the slang term for vagina?

Could you please rephrase this whole thing. I have no idea what you're asking. -- Makaio 16:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Songs on "Rescue Me" soundtrack not listed in songs section

"Shine A Light" by Wolf Parade "Love is Blindness" by Sharon Corr "Wipe That Smile Off Your Face" by Our Lady Peace "Oh Yeah" by The Subways

These songs were on the soundtrack CD, but for the life of me I can't place which episode they were used in. I know for sure I heard "Shine A Light" in scene where Tommy was driving somewhere in his truck and either Shiela or Janet called him on his cell. It was playing on his radio. I just don't remember which episode it was. As for the other three songs, I have no idea which scene, episode or season they were used. They were on the soundtrack release so they must have been used at some point. Anybody know?

[edit] Rescue Me external links

I was recently emailed from someone about me posting links to rescue me fan sites. I read the rules on external links and the links i added did not fall in to any catagories but 12 and i also think that they are informational. If the links i keep adding to rescue me forum.com, rescue me forum.co.uk or rescue me blospot site can not be on i do not think tv.com's rescue me site should be on, TV squads rescue me page or imdbs page they are all done completely by registered users.

1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes a Wikipedia:Featured article.

  2. Any site that contains factually inaccurate material or unverified original research, as detailed in Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
  3. A website that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked to. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link.
  4. Links that are added to promote a site, that primarily exist to sell products or services, with objectionable amounts of advertising, or that require payment to view the relevant content, colloquially known as external link spamming.
  5. Sites that are inaccessible to a significant proportion of the community, such as sites that only work with a specific browser.
  6. Direct links to documents that require external applications (such as Flash or Java) to view the relevant content, unless the article is about such rich media. If you do link to such material make a note of what application is required.
  7. Foreign-language sites, unless they contain visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables, per the guideline on foreign-language sites.
  8. Bookstore sites; instead, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.
  9. Blogs, social networking sites (such as MySpace) and forums should generally not be linked to unless mandated by the article itself.
 10. Links to search engine results.
 11. Links to sites that violate the copyrights of others per contributors' rights and obligations. Sites which fail to provide licensing information or to respond to requests for licensing information should not be used. (Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States.)
 12. Fanlistings are generally not informative and should not ordinarily be included.

I have added the links back on and have put a redirect on to this people do not delete the links before replying to this.

Hey, I love Rescue Me just as much as you, pal, but the links you've added just aren't notable enough. Rescuemeforum.co.uk hardly has any posts (200 is not alot of posts), and RescueMeFanClub.com consists of nothing more than a single picture. The blog, according to rule #9, shouldn't even be linked, and it only updates once a month anyway. The only site you might be able to eke by into this section is RescueMeForum.com, as it actually is mildly popular, but that site is also not allowed by rule #9. Sorry, but none of these sites really add anything to the article, and they aren't notable in their own right anyway. As such, they will be removed.
Also, please keep comments like you added in the Rescue Me Fansite's off of the article and instead on the talk page. (Steampowered 01:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)).
