Before that was the The Job. More of a tragic-comic sitcom take than Rescue Me. Unfortunately only lasted 2 seasons, but IMO one of the best ever. S2E8 (The Barbecue) is maybe the most chaotic 30 minutes ever put on TV. "YOU DON'T MESS WITH A BLACK MAN'S SHRIMP. SHRIMP IS THE BLACK MAN'S LOBSTER!"

There was one episode that was so funny that had to do with the rumor that the Captain's really hot wife didn't wear underwear and the lengths they all went to try to confirm this.

So you love the references to “chincs and “gooks”?

Leary was funny. I remember him asking an audience if they minded if he smoked. He looked a one guy who said something and he replied “fricking f***ot”
and kept right on talking.

“Life is gonna suck when you grow up “ is gold. Same with “You’re an arse- hole”

Yes, in a comical manner, absolutely. Not a problem for 70’s prime time shows like All in the Family.

Ya bundle of sticks.

No, it's disgusting. And I think it is up to you as a privileged, virtuous white person to save them from this mistreatment!

No.

I love how they aren’t taking themselves too seriously and understand it’s a comedy.

That’s the problem with all the too sensitive Karens and such these days…. Everything has to be PC or god forbid…. It’s stupid

I haven't heard shylock in a while

Funny is funny. You misspelling chink while white knighting is funny, too.
