    I watched this on channel four when it came on tv by the end of the first episode i was hooked !As i live in England we don't get tv shows like this where all three emergency's services are combined , Police , Ambulance & Fire Service which is a perk for a tv show like this . Which is what i like about this show ,it's got different story lines within different story lines ! the acting is suburb and may i just say the comedy is fantastic, i found my self laughing a least a few times in each episode mainly at the character Bosco he cracks me up And by far my favorite character within the show. I also like how they move from one storyline to the other so there not just stuck on one particular storyline .Also it's entertaining and never boring my only problem i have of this show is that channel 4 let it down a bit as they kept putting it on different times throughout the day and night and kepted switching to different seasons i never knew where i was with it and the people behind it only ...

    I would give it a 5 but it wasn't a 90's show. It was in the 2000's

    UPDATE-There was a great line on INVASION last week by Eddie Cibrian when someone left a baby at his ranger station in the Everglades he said, "They must think I'm a firefighter." Great line! I hope you are all watching the show. He's the reason I watch. It's a good show. Not great but good. It started slow but it's getting better. I thoroughly enjoyed this show from beginning to end. I was devastated when it ended. I watch it every Friday on A&E; at 2PM. It's the only time you get to see unless they put it on DVD, which hasn't happened. There is a petition out there for it to come out on DVD. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/thirdwatch-dvd Go there and sign up. If you click on the Third Watch picture it takes you to the Third Watch page on the Warner Bros website. If I was stranded on a desert island I would take this with me and I'm a Trekkie. It never fails, the real true-life reality shows, they cancel but the stupid reality crap, they leave on. So the show did... Read more

    Wonderful characters, exciting stories, but the last couple of years the EMT's stories got phased out and they focused almost entirely on the police folks. The police folks were always a bit more interesting, but it was nice to see the contrasts and interactions between these two groups.

    The best show in the history of tv. No other will ever compare. Great story lines and superb actors. I laugh and even cry with them. They seem like they are a part of my family. I was devastated when I heard the show was canceled. What a stupid mistake! I can only hope one day that each season will come out on dvd. Then it won't be a total loss after all.

    A good show with real-to-life dramatic situations. Sometimes they come close to crossing lines of what is supposedly acceptable on TV. I like the blend of fire, police and EMS showcasing interaction between the different services.

    Is it just me, or does this show seem to have hit a bump? I absolutely loved this show up until January 2005 rolled around. Jason Wiles is leaving the show and last week...what the heck was last week? They spent maybe 10 minutes on the regular characters; isn't that what the show is supposed to be about? Lately the writers appear to be struggling in coming up with a tantalizing story line.

    It is the 2nd fastest hour just behind ER. Which is still thebomb after nearly 12 years - all shows should want to be in the top 10 for that many years. Why TW never gets mentioned in ratings or reviews or the actors never get recognized is beyond me! There is more real TV in these episodes than all of those other real cra* shows.......do I really care if PH and NR are 2 of the dumbest blondes on earth and a case for concentration camp skinny?? Why is that acceptable when after the war everyone was appalled at concentration camp skinny. Can't wait for reality tv to burn itself out - poooof!

    Third watch is a great show. Every character is great. They have the odd boring show here and there where it drags on, but hey..what can you do? Can't wait for the reason finale.

    IT'S A GREAT SH0W BUT I SEE THAT IT NEEDS A LITTLE MORE ROMANCE NOT MENTIONING ANYNAMES (cruz and bosco)BUT I THINK THAT FAITH SHOULD JUST QUIT BECAUSE SHE WILL LOOSE HER FAMILY IF SHE DOES I WILL LAUGH BECAUSE I HATER HER BUT I THOUGHT THAT WHEN BOSCO WAS ON ANTI-CRIME THE RATINGS WENT UP AND TO SHOOT DOWN I FEW THE RATINGS HAVE GONE UP SINCE CRUZ HAS STARTED ON THE SHOW SO KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT BEAN329

    This is the best show on prime time!! The writing is outstanding, the actors are awesome!! (I'm in law enforcement and an actor & hope to be on the show as a cop one day!) It has something for both men & women to enjoy, like the realistic hardships of maintaining a family/home while working the job (including childcare, etc.), and the show keeps geting btter & better with every episode!! (if that's possible)I'm hoping that this show stays on for a while so that we fans can enjoy it for as long as possible!! No other show comes close to captivating an audience as well as Third Watch does!! Actors! Writers! Producers!! Directors!! Keep up the wonderful, spectacular work you're doing!! We love it!! Thank you, Third Watch!! [email protected]

    This show is an excellent creation. Cover three emergency works in NY. Firefighers, cops,Paramedics. All those we honour after 9/11. They are realistic and offers drama and fast paced action sequences. It's like a mini movie each week. From the maker of ER. You could only wish That John Wells made all programmes on tv and we'd all be walking round bursting with creativity.

    Third Watch is one of the greatest shows on tv. I do believt that Third Watch is o the level with Law and Order, and many of the great tv police shows of the sixties, and early seventies. They have a great cast that do an outsatanding job in playing their roles.

    GREAT SHOW! I think it will be nominated for, and win many awards like other series such as Hill Street Blues, and In the Heat of the Night, ER, etc. I hope the excellant cast stays with it, and the writing continues to be excellant as well. Want to see more! BIG FAN! JOSEPH JRLJR

    A good character driven show about cops, firemen and paramedics who work the 3pm to 11pm or third watch shift in New York City. Each character is important and unique and brings something to the story. Some episodes will focus on one character while others will feature all or most of the cast. The show has good drama, angst, conflict and action.

    I was a huge fan of the show up until the new season started. Last year was a little hard to take with Cruz on the show. At the end of last season it left you with the impression that she would be gone this year. I was very dissapointed to see that she is still on there. Everyone I know has the same feeling that I do. I think the ratings would go back up and it would hopefully move back to Monday's again if she were gone.

    Being in various security firms & holding "police powers", I have a "somewhat" feeling of what's it like to be "involved" in situations. I've also taken a course our the Fire Dept.(civilian) for "support" on-scene. The course was held at the training cntr. for "probies". I've used this skill on numerous times. My latest "venture" has taken an EMT course at a University (Entry Level), so I think that I've covered, probably all the angles, that's involved in public service-but only on a civilian level tho. When 9/11 happened, it really had taken a toll on me, knowning the impact of what had happened to all the Dept's involved, with nightmares happening all the time. When the episodes of 9/11 were shown on "Third Watch", they had gotten to me really bad. They were hard to watch, but I felt that I had to. I'm sure that w/ all the Dept's in N.Y., they still have "problems" of the situation, not just on the anniv., but w/ everyday life & I'd to reply that I'm w/ you and will alway... Read more

    This is my FAVORITE show!!! I want to go into Law Enforcement and this show is the only one that shows police (fire and medics) on partol- all the other shows are after the fact and 3rd watch pays tribute to all those out there everyday. I can say so much about this show! Bosco is GREAT so is Faith- I just- LOVE their partnership! Davis is great too, Carlos cracks me up, and I HATE Cruz. I can't wait for the premire this next season!!! if any other fans wanna chat, e-mail me at: [email protected] or you can IM me: Yahoo- angel_of_sapphire_twilight and AOL- SapphireJustice :)
