I don't watch a lot of TV, but I'm so psyched for the summer shows on FX. I'm watching Rescue Me right now and, God I love this show! The whole show is insane and I love it! For those of you who haven't been following it, it's about a firefighter named Tommy whose brother (also a firefighter) died in the 9/11 attacks. Tommy's an alcoholic pill-popper who's trying to get his life back on track but everything keeps getting in the way. He hallucinates from alcohol withdrawal and sees Jesus and his brother. He falls into some bizarre love affair with his brother's widower, his wife runs out on him and takes his kids. But somehow there's a dry wit that still brings this show more than enough charm to make up for the morose dysfunctionality.
Then there's the pretty new show It's Always Sunny In Philladelphia, a short show laden with sarcasm and cynicism that's probably funnier than anything I've seen in a long time. Amidst the vomit-inducing crap on TV like American Idol, I rarely see anything that I'm even remotely interested in watching, but I'm finding myself excited about these two shows.
