Amazing drama show surrounding New York's finest; PD, Fire and EMS on the third watch. This has been my favorite show of all time and compared to modern shows nowadays they just don't compare to Third Watch. I'm very disappointed that Google is only making season 1 available. iTunes and Xbox have season 1-2. Ultimately all 6 seasons would be great!!

Third watch was the most realistic Police/Fire/EMS series I've ever seen (I was. N.Y. cop). They even had an episode called "In their own words" which focused on first hand accounts of Sept. 11. They dangle a carrot in front of us with the first 2 seasons and then kick it to the curb. I understand there were issues with music rights (?) but, why not finish what you started and watch the box sets fly off the shelves. There are other series that aren't half as worthy as Third Watch that were produced.

Action packed Non-Stop drama like no other. Once you are hooked you will not be able to stop watching. Features the New York PD, Rescue Squad, and Fire Department. Eddie Cibrians best roll ever. Has not been into syndication but that is definitely not because of the excitement!
