It's the only A&E show i watch. I just found it 2 weeks ago..................................now it's off air...........................Bring Back Third WATCH PLEASE>>>>>>>> I love 3rd watch. Third Watch is the best show A&E ever had on air. I hope it returns to air ASAP. Unfortunately i have to type 100 words minimum to voice my opinion on here. 3rd watch rocks, bring it back,please.
Over the past couple of years, I have to admit that this show had to be one of the most underrated shows around. It wasn't a great show, but it was actually quite decent. I think the acting was great, but the show really jumped the shark during the last season. The thing I liked most about the show was the drama and action. It was entertaining to watch certain characters in their own storylines that were filled with problems of epic consequences. Overall, this was a decent show which was a nice form of entertainment and a good fix for drama fans. Thank you.
Third Watch is the best show to ever come to prime time on a major network and was cancelled way before it’s time. It is an action-packed edge of your seat show that keeps you glued to the TV.
Third Watch is action-packed, yet it is the perfect blend of the characters' professional and personal lives, which makes it a great continuing story to follow. As a retired police officer with many years of dedicated service, I believe I am qualified enough to say that this show is true to life with respect to the professional lives of the police characters.
The characters' dialog and actions that take place when they are out of the public eye is very real and often unknown to members of the general public.
The cancellation of the show came as a complete shock to me. However, I am very happy that I’m able to watch Third Watch re-runs on A&E on weekday mornings.
This series started during a time that I was working night shift & I didn't get to watch it often. I knew I loved it, but it was just going to be a show I missed. But now that A & E has re-aired it daily @ 7:00am EST I got to watch it every day!! I was so into it that I didn't take calls & only got up during commercials. It made me laugh, cry & (embarassing enough) made me scream at the TV!! I even went on line & ordered the entire series on DVD. Totally worth every penny!! Just this past Tuesday A & E started to air it all over again from the beginning, if anyone is interested in seeing it again or for the 1st time. (Remember ... 7am daily!) Best drama ever!!
one of the best series ever! i've been through the enitre series four times now. and i could start all over again. dont know what it is but WOW. wondering where most of the cast went. its crazy that they are not in others series as much as they are. you may occasionally see one of them in a one time bit role but that is it! come on, there were some good actors there. NBC, have a 10 year reunion movie!!! i would love to see how the ratings would do. seemed like a realistic version of how it would be to be a cop in New York City.
I love this show! Im definitely hooked! Bur I wanted to let some of you guys know ive read some of ure reviews and someone had mentioned u can buy the complete 6 seasons from a certain website. DO GO THERE! I fell for the scam and they stole my idenity!
Its all a fraud! They get all your information including credit card and they scam you i had over 300 dollars of fraudulent charges on my card because of them. There is no way you can get all 6 seasons right now only season 1 is out! I cant wait until season 2 comes out! But just please no one go to those sites with the complete 6 seasons. The site I went to was call DVDTVWORLD.COM but site saying they have all seasons is a total fraud so just becareful! Come on season 2 we are all waiting for it!
I think that this show was one of the most realistic show about the civil service jobs. . . . . . . . . . . I don't see why I did not go for at least a couple of more seasons.. . . . . . . . The actors and actresses were amazing. The show was just so inspiring with the problems that come up in the time that the show aired. . . . . . . . I do not beleve that the show should have been canceled. It was just a very real show.
i love all the characters in this show. you rooted for them to get well of hurt, you hoped relationships would stay together. like monroe an davis, it took her losing his baby for him to see that he loved her.
i just started watching this show 2 months ago on cable. i just watched the end show an it brought tears to my eyes cause i love this show. at 7am every morning im in front of my tv watching it. thank goodness i checked next weeks guide an seen it was there. this show always had action and a interesting storyline. they kill off people, that keeps you glued to watch. i am planning to go buy the complete dvd set. i thought it was great to have sully tell us about where everyone ended up an how they were doing. most shows just ended an left you hanging. it a shame they ended it. hats off to the creators of this show. good job!!!!!!!!!!!
After having seen first episode I was hooked on the show, (love at first sight). The blend of cops, firefighters and paramedics, and all the human aspects of life, like: loyalty, friendship, e.c.t. made this series # 1 on my list. Well, I have to say, there are not many series that can keep me interested season after season, but THIRD WATCH was/is one of them, it's only getting better and better.
The actors make the characters come so much to live, that you can't do anything else than feel with them, when you see the show, episode after episode, and even though I like all characters (more or less), my favorites are: Yokas and Bosco. Their loyalty and friendship to one another are beyond normal. Example; when Bosco saves Yokas life in season 5 (haven't seen it yet, but soon), with no regards for his own safety.
To round this up, I have to say; I hope the series will continue, and I hope that season 1 to ???, soon will come out on DVD.
If you want to watch a good crime show watch Third Watch if it was still on. I don't like Law & Order because it has no storyline but I like this show because it has a storyline involved in it. This was the only crime show that I liked bring it back!.
Their were some episodes that had to much drama and most episodes were just right. I miss watching this show so much and yes I know you can buy the seasons but to expensive for my taste. And this show had a lot of Action in it because I always love a good Action show. When this show first came out I disliked it so much I could scream but then I started loving it as it progressed through the seasons and it got better and better then all of a sudden "Canceled!". So if this show was brought back then my rating for NBC will go way up right now my rating for NBC is at a perfect 10.0 because it has all of my favorite shows including what it used to be on NBC Third Watch.
this was best show ever just loved it and all carroters but i dident like when faith had a abortin i think should have had the baby i liked it that kim jimmy got back together the sruprising story line was when doc shot that fire chief i think it was a good change that this show made jimmy seem male slut cuse usely shows allys make a women seem that way i like bosco i think that was good that he was allways sticking of for is mom i also think it was cool they had a lot of story lines with there kids also over all it was a great show to bad its not on any more
although i really do love this show, i'm really angry at the producers to decide to cancel the show. as far as i know, third watch was a great success in the US, so why did it need to be canceled?????? well, actually we can be glad about what we had of third watch: in germany, where my mother lives, there were just the first three seasons on tv ... can you imagine??????
i think being depressed cannot bring it back, so there is nothing we can do about it, can we?!
let's ust maintain the memory of a great show, with great cops, paramedics and firefighters ;-)
I really liked this show,I'm upset it has finished!! Anyway, I think the whole beauty of this serial stays in that nice combination between the difficult and full jobs of the caracters (paramedics,police units,firemen) and their personal life. I don't know why,but it reminds me a little bit of ER.. It was a good show, and I still appreciate it,that's why it's in my personal favorite drama shows list. I watched it episode by episode extremely focused (maybe not that focused as in the case of ER but still ..) The drama always catches me,especially when it's not cheap,and it has originality (the case of third Watch).So hats off
there are a lot of cop show out there like nypd blue, law and order svu, law and order crimanal intent, but i have to say this one is my favourite. why i like this show is because it deals with not only the police department but it also deals with the paramedices and the fire department. they deal with real situations and real promblems. they also show us that they all have a human side as well. the new york police department are someone i think highly of. even though i live in Australia i still think they are all heros to me.
Third Watch is the best cop show ever to come out of america, it's probably not fair to call it a cop show as it was really about the emergency services of New York city, ie: Firefighters and paramedics. But I think to described it honestly you would have o admit that the cops got centre stage, which is probably a good thing as their characters were probably the strongest. There wasn't a weak link in the cast, everyone was excellent in their roles, the most notable would have to be Jason Wiles who played Officer Maurice 'Bosco' Boscorelli.
Probably the fans favourite Bosco, was often at the center of Third Watch's biggest and most dramatic storylines, his character, a tough street cop was played expertly by Jason Wiles, who is probably the best actor too have ever appeared on television.
I've been a fan of Third Watch for quite a while, as it consists of a very culturally diverse and talented cast. As an actor myself, I was once fortunate enough to be an extra on the show and found it to be a most enjoyable experience, meeting some of the cast who were not only professional but also very friendly. I'm also a City University of New York Campus Peace Officer and find the show to successfully incorporate real issues within each episode, such as relationship situations (between the officers of the various departments), personal issues like child care concerns, marital problems, etc., as well as most of the official procedures which the uniformed Officers (Police, Fire & Emergency Medical Technicians) utilize in the performance of their duties. The portrayals of the characters by the cast is wonderful, as they succeed in bringing each character to 3 dimensional life! You get the feeling that these are real folks you could actually run into while walking down a New York City street. (Yes, all their performances are that good!!) The action in the show is great, combining the perfect amount of gritty realism and excitement with (at times), a dash of humor. I enjoy the show very much & hope it continues to have a nice long run!! I really like this show and feel that it is the best hour of quality viewing on televsion. Fantastic work by all the cast and crew!!
This show is probably on my top 3 list of favorite shows of all time. I loved this show to bad the network that it was on didn’t love it as much as I did. I watched it from the beginning and was so upset when I found out that it was being cancelled. I think that the earlier seasons with the mix of police, firefighters and paramedics were the best. The last couple of seasons focused more on the police then the others but it was still a great show. The actors and actresses on this show did an excellent job portraying the characters that they played. I wish that a few of them has stuck around a little longer then they did. This show was like an emotional roller coaster. Some episodes would make you laugh, some would make you cry, and some would leave you in complete shock. Then there were the episodes where you would be laughing one moment, crying the next and be in complete shock by the end and wishing that the next week would fly by so that you could see the next new episode. I really wish they would bring it back or at least release the show to DVD so that I could watch it whenever I wanted and introduce it to all my friends who never got to experience the greatness of Third Watch. It definitely should have lasted more then six seasons. Third Watch was definitely the best police, firefighters and paramedics show of my time and I don’t think that any other show of the same type will ever top it for me.
Third watch brings us the lifes and livings of 55th squad completed with paramedics, police and firefighters. It takes out through everyday life on the street, without taking the easy way glorifying all caracters. This is the real deal.
While many shows have been made throughout looking at police, at hospitals and after 9/11 also at firefighters, this show was ahead of it's time and gave us all in one.
We'll start the show as two freshmens join the 55th. One at the police and one as a paramedic. We follow these 2, their partners, and their closest backups and fellow officers at the streets of NY.
Best part of the show is the lack of good guys all good. We'll see them struggle with problems taking them to the edge and the law and the edge of their own hearts. Without giving away too much, it's not unlikely to see real life cops struggle with their temper while kids are being abused and raped. Paramedics will struggle to help people get out of life, rather than rescue them. Firefighters will wanna go in after their partners, despite being told to fall back.
The trouble with the shows is some episodes gets a little boring when they are looking to hard into a caracters problem you don't care about, but overall this is classic stuff.
A must see, even without being to filled with action in every episode. Why they let it stop is beyond me. Enjoy.
I am from Malaysia and I hate the fact that this is it the end... no more THIRD WATCH .... no more.... Why? WHY? Why? did they end it.... It was different then any other show... It combines the hardships and efforts of all three paramedic, police and firefighter in one great and amazing show.... I miss watching the hilarious and sarcastic ways Bosco will answer to everyone... Carlos blurr and I LOVE GURLS kinda attitude.... I miss Sarj. Cruz Sumtimes doing the right thing is not doing the right thing attitude.... I Miss Jimmy's Look on Fire Uniform... I Miss them going to Mercy's On Every episode and they cross over each other.... I Want it back ... All of it... Every single part of it.... Bosco, Carlos, Maritza, Holly, Grace, Jimmy, Kim, Faith, Monroe, Brendan, Ty, Sullivan, Chief everyone.... I want it back... Including... Leut., Alex, Bobby and all.... I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Third Watch is the most different show in a great way. At least in my time there has not been a show on like this one. I started to watch this show in its 5th season and now I am getting caught up on A&E. Now that I am seeing this from the very beging it has made me even more intrested in it. Third Watch is a great show. The charters are great in it and the actors do a great job. When I watch this show it doesn't feel like I am even watching a series, it feels like I am watching a reality show (in a good way).Third Watch will stay the test of time and furture genirations can watch this show. It is a wonderful show.
When I first started to watch this show it is when er did a crossover episode with it and I said hey I kind of like this show. So I started to watch it on A and E. Then I was able to catch the last 2 seasons a NBC. When they moved the show to Friday nights I knew it was the end, and it was the dumbest thing they could have done to it. I don’t know about you but I am not to into dramas on Friday night. This show was great and original many might say not original but it was in its own way. I can’t think of many shows that are about patrol officers and firefighters and paramedics. It had great characters and great drama the show should not have been canceled the way it was. I am just thankful they let the show have a good ending.
Rather than focus solely on one aspect of the emergency services, Third Watch successfully combined all three, showing the interaction within and between the various departments. The show wasn't afraid to take risks. It evolved through the various episodes. Main characters died or were promoted out of positions that seemingly defined them and new people were introduced, characters who we soon came to relate to.
In its latter seasons it tend to focus more on the police than the firefighters or medics, but not so much that it lost its singularity. The writers also mixed things up, interspersing the serial, ongoing plotlines with the episode-by-episode stories. It also chose a good point to end. There is only so long that a programme such as this can go on before the plots seem to feel overdone. Third Watch had not yet reached this point, but rather exited on a good note. As one of my favourite shows, the last thing I would have wanted is to have watched it make that backward slide. Instead it can be remembered quite simply as a great show that afforded many people with an entertaining evening.
Yes the show lost alot in its last two seasons but lets be honest here, has anyone ever seen a more realistic show that does not only do one side but three, yes three sides to the story. I think this show deserves a come back or atleast a spin off of some sort. And for kripes sake bring back bosco so I can hear him say Jag-off again. It surprises me that he really hasnt done anything big yet. Seems to me he has huge potential to play many different roles. God Bless the 5 - 5, if it wasnt for them we would have been really bored.
This show was absolutely brilliant in so many ways. I loved everything about it--the characters, their personalities and how they interact with each other, and how their jobs affect their relationships with spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, and their children. The actors were all phenomenal and yet so underrated. Each and every one of them deserves so much praise for the heart, humanity, realism, and life they brought to their characters. I thought that Michael Beach, Molly Price, Kim Raver, and Jason Wiles were especially great. The storylines from season one all the way through season six were compelling, though season six was definitely kind of depressing--so many bad things happened to Faith, Bosco, Ty, Sasha, Brendan, Carlos, Holly, and Cruz. I like how the show had its seriousness and deepness, but at the same time, had a lighter side. I loved the jokes that Ty, Carlos, Sully, and Bosco would crack, and my personal favorite is when Faith and Bosco would have their daily banter in the squad car. Each and every one of the characters is likeable, and the actors definitely brought that out in all of them. I love this show and the actors who did so well on it, and I love seeing them now on different shows: Kim Raver on "The Nine", Coby Bell on "The Game", Eddie Cibrian on "Invasion."
"Third Watch" had things that are hard to find on television and things that can't be fabricated or recreated: heart, humanity, realism, struggle, and hope. Congratulations to all of the actors on jobs well done, and John Wells and Edward Allen Bernero on such a great television show that will definitely be missed.
Started off a great show. Episodes in Seasons 5 & 6 simply got worse but glad they finally did something about the ending music in the very last episode.
Third Watch seasons 1-6. Where do I begin? Great show for the first four seasons with it reaching a peak somewhere around season 3/4. One annoying problem with this show is it's MUSIC! Awful and dated "acidified-trance" rubbish at the begining of every episode is unbearable especially after tolerating it for an entire season. Am i the only one who fast forwards that rubbish at the begining of every episode? (Solution: Know how long you expect your show to go on for and then compose your music for the show with longevity in mind. That type of music, which i once liked in the early 90's, died in the early 90s. Fashion changes so lose the flares.) Secondly, the music introduced towards the end of every episode is the SAME! Which means one persons taste in music is thrust upon our eardrums EVERY episode with the "thank-god"-exception of the very last episode of season 6 (Goodbye Chamelot). So i found myself fastforwarding what started off as bearable but became annoyingly rubish stereotypical indie-music that kept appearing towards the end of every episode. (nb: Not all white people like the same music) Finally, if you've actually watched most episodes through out the seasons you can tell when the enthusiasm of the producers of the show starts to die off presumably because they've decided to take on other projects or they've fallen ill or something. Which unfortunately happens in seasons 5 & 6. They honestly shouldn't have bothered making them as you get the feeling that the actors they kill off or decide to relocate off the set have actually jumped off a sinking ship and are thinking about saving their careers as actors. Glad it's over. Please don't make any more.
imagine your three emergency shows er, nypd and rescue me all roled into one thats what we got in third watch, the way it focus on the charaters and and the way they handle situations that the real emergency srevices deal with. third watch is one of the best tv programmes i have seen in a long time that has come out of the usa,
