Rescue 8 Tv Series

4 fine TV marathons for the Fourth

The sight of fireworks on television, minus chest-pounding booms and the smell of gunpowder, holds limited appeal. And so as we launch the Fourth of July weekend, we may want to skip the sparklers to concentrate instead on favorite indoor sports.

Consider this the perfect time to watch marathons of past seasons of some superior TV series you may have missed, in advance of several important July premieres.

Here are two dramas, a comedy and a sci-fi adventure available via DVD or streaming video — and worth the time.

“Torchwood,” an award-winning British science-fiction film series, was originally a spinoff of “Doctor Who.” The much-loved John Barrowman returns as the lead in a story that imagines what would happen if nobody died. “Torchwood Miracle Day” debuts Friday on Starz. The complete series is due on DVD July 19; series 1-3 are available individually.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” a reflection on the daily aggravations of “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David,doesn’t follow a theme in the first season, and unlike the other series here, “Curb” doesn’t need viewers to follow a storyline. Season 8 launches July 10 on HBO; the “Curb” action moves to New York. Seasons 1-7 are on DVD.

“Rescue Me,” a provocative and at times screamingly funny dissertation on living with grief, is the television production that most fully and consistently explores the feelings of New Yorkers affected by the 9/11 attacks. “Rescue Me” debuts its seventh and final season July 13 on FX. Five seasons are available on DVD; season 6 is due Sept. 13.

“Breaking Bad,” a dark meditation on how an ordinary man lets go of all social constraints once he learns he is terminally ill, follows Walter White, played by Emmy winner Bryan Cranston, as he uses his chemistry knowledge to cook meth. He has since descended into a world of cartels, guns and drug money. Who knew he’d be so good at living a lie and beating the thugs at their own business? “Breaking Bad” returns for a fourth season on July 17 on AMC. Seasons 1-3 are on DVD.

B-Movies Extended: Films for Your Inner Eight-Year-Old

The story was stultifying and confusing, and the characters were intentionally rock stupid, modeled, as they were, directly after the mold of the 1960s TV series on which the film was based. Needless to say, I saw the film a second time.




Forums « ScanRiverside.com • View topic - Rescue 8 TV show, 1950's

Anyone remember or like this show? I watched it with my dad when I was just a pup. For those who never heard of it, it is the story of Rescue Unit 8 from Los Angeles County Fire Dept. I recently found dvds of this show on the internet and I am very happy!!!! I never thought I would see this again, although it doesn't contain the episode I remember most vividly (being present according to Gurdjieff) of a man trapped in an above ground natural gas storage tank with his leg caught in the frame. I remember the voice over of 'little did every housewife who was cooking a roast know she was endangering a life' or something similar. It is interesting to see this, Sea Hunt, Whirlybirds, etc. at this remote time and space, where macho heros pray, go to church, etc. Way different than today....I feel sorry for our kids.....
