I personally cannot stand it. I only watched a few episodes of the first season and it seemed to be more about his divorce and personal life than about FF. It may have changed now but I just don't like it. Also, in the beginning a lot of things weren't accurate. and that is just frustrating when you know what they're supposed to be doing and you end up screaming at the TV because they aren't doing something right.

no it's not accurate, at all. But the story is cool.

Love the show - watch it every week, and sometimes twice. Just for it's pure entertainment value...the characters are hilarious, and I don't think I've watched an episode yet without laughing out loud. Garrity is my favorite, poor guy is so dumb sometimes, he's just adorable.

I love the show because it is awesome but also because of the work they do. The denislearyfirefighter foundation built 11 fire houses for the firefighters who lost theirs der to Katrina. They have built burn houses for New York and purchased boats for another department. Any help for any station is enough to make the show and Denis awesome!

I'm in the same boat, when it comes on back to back I usually watch both shows. I think there are alot of people out there that can identify with something or someone on the show. I know I sure would like to have half the ladies that tommy gets LOL

I love the show. I started watching it way back in season one. I own the first 3 seasons on DVD and cant wait for the fourth. I can place some of the firefighters I know in the characters that are on the series. I cant wait for the next season to start!

I LOVE IT! I have watched it since the beginning of season one and own the first 3 seasons on DVD. I can even place some of the firefighters I know in the characters places on the show. I cant wait for season 4 on DVD and for season 5 to start!

Personally I love the show. Havent ever gotten so into it I cant miss an episode, but some of the guys I aork with dont so I keep up.

The funny thing is all the b*tching about it not being realistic...come on there ara 40 cop shows on a week...do you really know a single cop who has fired his weapon in anger that many times???

It's a TV show, it's a DRAMA, thats what they do dramatize what WE do. If they did a show about real stations, how many episodes would be a bunch of guys sitting around playing graba*s??? Really.

Enjoy it for what it isa show about Brothers...and what Leary does with his foundation is exceptional, that alone deserves our respect.

It's a great show. Lemme tell ya - I'm from Jersey, then I moved to NC, & I spent a lot of time in FDNY houses before I moved down here. Some say it portrays firemen in a bad light or it's not realistic. Got news for ya pal - it's accurate as hell. Firemen are just like everyone else. We all have our problems, troubles & deamons to deal with. We get up each day with backaches & bills to pay. We all have moments of weakness. The show is pretty damn close to the mark. Sure - some of it's Hollywood glitz. But, for the most part - it's pretty damn accurate. I for one love it for that reason, it shows that we're human and occasionally we manage extraordinary dispalys of courage, valor & strength.
