I don't understand this show anymore. Their Chief kills himself and they barely spend any portion of the show dealing with it. Its almost like that there are so many characters dropping dead on this show that its like changing underwear.

How much longer are we going to have to through a plot line that Tommy can't get hard?

The show is losing my interest fast just like Nip/Tuck did.

It has gotten sad right now. The recycled story lines are bad and they are going nowhere...it is obvious now that this show already blew its wad a while ago...sad.

This evening's episode was actually tolerable, but I had to laugh when Janet handed off a TPS report to some flunky at her new workplace.

There has been some behind the scenes commentary from the actor who played the Chief about this. It would seem there's no love lost between the actor and Dennis Leary (who has a hand in running the show).

I haven't started watching this season yet, but I'm disappointed to hear they've let it wane.

I've been staying out of this thread, because I've been behind on the show until catching up recently. But I'm relieved to discover that I'm not the only one who feels the show is missing something this season.

I think the problem is simply that they're retreading old ground: Tommy battles the bottle; Tommy short-changes his family; Tommy has conflicts at the firehouse; Tommy has nightmares about being trapped in fires. Individual scenes may still be entertaining, but the fact that there so many supporting characters have gone begging for decent continuing plotlines (Maggie, Sean, Probie Mike, even Black Sean) suggests that the writers are out of ideas.

Rumors are the show's been cancelled (for example http://www.tvguide.com/ask-ausiello). Has maybe anyone heard otherwise? Would be such a bummer. :frowning:

It would seem those nasty rumors were, luckily, unsubstantiated. Season 5 is a go with 22 episodes (or you could say we get seasons 5 & 6, eleven eps each).
