Rescue Me Minisodes begin tonight.
Rescue Me, one of the best shows on television, stars Dennis Leary, and it was really affected by the writer’s strike. Scrambling to put something together to get back on the air when the strike ended, they came out with a series of what they called “minisodes”. Tiny little five-or-six minute episodes of the show, one scene at a time, to get the ball rolling before the next season really begins. These minisodes are going to be running Sundays at 10:45 on Showcase, and the first one is tonight. It’s a quick scene where Sean struggles with a fast, and refuses to break it, but gets tempted with Lou’s homemade donuts and a cigarette. These minisodes are all terrific, but they’re easy to miss. What with being so short and all. You might want to use the PVR for these ones.
