yes, there's a lot of "shit" ing and a whole lotta sex, but not much boobalah. There's a gay black midget as of last episode, tho, and Denis Leary is the fuckin shit in this show.
I didnt realize it before, but he actually lost his cousin/best friend as a firefighter a few years back, so Leary has a vested interest in this kind of thing: he runs The Leary Firefighters assocation, raising money for fire departments to use better/safer equipment, its a really good cause: http://www.learyfirefightersfoundation.org/
Politics aside...again, its dark, but heavy on the comedy, and shows a lot of what life in the firehouse is like, rather than just glorifying/hero worship like say Backdrat, or what ive herad of Ladder 41 (that new travolta one). Its good to see some actual character, but man, goin into this season finale, there's mad !
