New York 911

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!!

Great show, still miss it. Everything was perfect: plot, characters and Sully :)

Loved the show so much when it initially aired, I was in high school and along with ER this show made me want to work in emergency. I've recently started watching it again as it's on Samsung tv plus and 7 plus in Australia and they have all 6 seasons.

The show holds up so well I think in part because computers and technology aren't often seen so it doesn't feel super old compared to some other 90's show. The characters aren't politically correct so you wouldn't see them in a show today burning Bosco was and is still the best character!!! He is so entertaining! Jimmy is so nice on the eyes too! The storyline's are real and raw.

If you've never watched give it a go I guarantee you'll love it. If you haven't watched since 2005 I recommend rewatching it's just so entertaining and still better than 90% of todays shows.

take NYPD Blue and mix it it with ER and some firemen TV show and you'll get 3rd W. I specially like the politically incorrect characters and how they complement each other, and the way they treated the 9/11 stuff without much patriotism and low punches. The best in US TV nowadays

Third Watch is a fast paced, enjoyable show that I hope will stick around. I have to agree with another reviewer that NBC has jerked this show around by moving it around the schedule. What are they going to do in fall 2000--when Monday night football comes back? Anyway, I feel that ER has run its course and this show has the makings of picking up the "high adrenaline show" mantle and running off with it. Good show!
