I have had some of the same problems as Brightliner, but none of the "moderating" problems. Upgrades are not always improvements!

That said, Rescue Me has gotten even better this season. The horse vs. bus was even more effective since you didn't see it. Lenny Clarke seems to really have some good acting skills.

Is it only a matter of time that landmarking people's homes doesn't seem right, unless the owner gets some compensation for it. But then again, Staten Island is in a totally different universe.

I am assuming that "Bubba Sparxx, Rick Ross, and Dem Franchise Boyz" are some sort of performers that apparently create telephone ring tones and have an act where they dress up in clothes too big for them. They must be big in the Catskills.
