Rescue Me will go up in smoke in 2011. The hit FX show will begin filming its final 19 episodes in a few weeks according to what Peter Tolan told
TV Guide.
While the final episodes will most likely be produced together, the airing of the episodes will be split to make the end of the show coincide with the year of the 9/11 anniversary. “I think they’re stretching the airing of it out until the 10th anniversary,” Tolan said. “So if you put 10 episodes on next year and nine the following year, you’ll land there.”
I am so sad over this news because this show has never depreciated with age and I was hoping it go one forever. But like all good things, it must come to an end and hopefully it will go out as good as came in. And maybe even better, it would be nice if the Emmys finally recognizes the shows achievements before it says goodbye.
