To say that I hate reality television unfortunately isn’t much of an overstatement. I recognize that there is some quality programming in the genre, but I think that the genre, in general, has done more to hurt scripted programming than they have to help television in general.

Back-to-back ho-hum episodes for Rescue Me. I call these last couple the calm before the storm. Only five chapters remain in what has been, in my opinion, the best season since number two.

It sounded a bit cliched, but I imagine that Sasha Beloff (Neil Jackson) – sorry; I love saying his full name – that Sasha Beloff was right when he told Payson’s (Ayla Kell) mom, Kim (Peri Gilpin), that a teen-athletes problems are not of the ordinary nature.
