History Series / RescueMe

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The entire cast can enter into here at times. Tommy's a drunk compulsive liar, Franco nearly got his station into a brawl with another, Sean Garrity is a bonehead and Mike is not only still unsure of himself but dumb enough to make Garrity look like Steven Hawking. They still fight fires and save lives.

* DeathBySex: [[spoiler: Jerry Reilly]], though not directly.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: Subverted in the series finale. Of the crew, only Lou dies.]]

* NoEnding: [[spoiler: At least it feels that way after the finale's cold open subverts a KillEmAll GrandFinale. In the end only Lou dies, Janet names her baby [[DeadGuyJunior Shea Gavin]] after Lou but otherwise things go on as normal. The only other things that are really different is that Tommy's better off than before, he won't be turning to alcohol to drown his sorrows and he now sees Lou's ghost instead of Jimmy. And Lou's ghost seems less vengeful and more helpful.]]

* Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Tommy has another brother named Timothy who disappears after the first season and is never mentioned. In the middle a season 5 a half-sister is brought in, only to immediately disappear like she was never there.

* MotherDaughterThreesome: In the episode "High", Mike is at a bar, and a hot cougar asks him if he's up for a little mother-daughter action. [[spoiler: But then he finds out that she's the daughter...]]

* Suspiciously Specific Denial: Tommy asks Teddy if he got that thing they were talking about.
"What thing? The hand grenade?"
"No, the Vicodin! Who the hell wants a hand grenade?"
"Nobody."

* TwoferTokenMinority: Franco is a Puerto Rican Single Father.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: When Janet's wheelchair-bound boyfriend (played by Creator/MichaelJFox) confronts Tommy in the firehouse and finds out that Tommy slept with Janet, he responds by squeezing Tommy's balls - for ''seven minutes.'' Lou comes by in the middle of it and has a brief conversation with Tommy, barely raising an eyebrow, then leaves.

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: Subverted in the series finale.]]

* UnreliableNarrator: Assume that anytime two characters are talking to each other- even family or their best friends- they're lying at least part of the time. When Tommy's father bemoans the lack of a sex life with his wife, essentially he states they had sex once for each pregnancy. Assuming a roughly 1 in 5 chance for pregnancy, you're talking beating incredibly high odds for that over 6 children- not impossible but probably close to lottery winning, especially once someone hits 30.
