![]() Season six will air in 2010 while season seven will be held until 2011. Rather than airing all 19 episodes together, the new plan is to break them up into two smaller seasons. The extra installment will presumably be used to cap off the series. But, instead of 18 episodes as previously planned, the final group of episodes has been increased to 19. Now that the network has seen the numbers for season five, it seems their enthusiasm has waned and have decided to make the next round the show’s last. I believe this show will continue to maintain a level of excellence for several years to come, and we’re thrilled to pick it up for a sixth season.” We’re amazed by the quality of episodes for the upcoming fifth season, which are some of the best they’ve ever produced. Of the early renewal, FX’s President and General Manager John Landgraf said, “ Rescue Me is one of the very best series on television and a tentpole program for FX. In February, months before the premiere of year five, FX announced that Rescue Me had already been renewed for a sixth season of 18 episodes. A series of webisodes were released in 2008 in an attempt to bridge the gap. There was a gap of 18 months between the end of season four and the start of season five, largely due to the writers strike. The drop in viewership likely comes as a result of the show being off the air for an extended period of time. Variety reports that’s a 38% decline from season four. The fifth season has been averaging about 1.4 million and 914,000 in the 18-49 demographic. The first two seasons averaged about 2.7 million viewers per episode. Though it’s still a high-profile show for FX, Rescue Me’s numbers aren’t nearly as strong as they once were. The series also features the talents of Diane Farr, Adam Ferrara, Mike Lombardi, James McCaffrey, Jack McGee, Tatum O’Neal, Steven Pasquale, Andrea Roth, John Scurti, Daniel Sunjata, Larenz Tate, Callie Thorne, and Dean Winters. Rescue Me follows Denis Leary as a hard-living New York fireman who balances the challenges of his stressful job and crazy personal life. The show will go out as it began closely tied to the events of 9/11. FX has decided to end their Rescue Me series after seven seasons and 93 episodes. ![]()
