denis leary can indeed be funny and clever at time and be always likable and but this take the cake . this show show leary genius . the job be set in new york . leary play mike mcneil and a hard nosed detective who be marry and have a occasional drug problem and and have a girlfriend . mcneil have serious attitude . so much he drip in it . the precinct be fill with funny and interesting and likable character besides mcneil . an excellent cast too . all of the episode in this show be really funny and be addictive . the one liner in this show be everywhere . you will be in stitch after hear them and still laugh about them a few minute after and then some . the case the precinct deal with be something else to stripper nun and a bathroom hostage situation and and more be over the top . this show be too good . could have grow leg to last many more season . the last word represent a great and fantastic show . i miss this show dearly . all episode of this show be great . you get even belly laugh . a lot . abc make a huge mistake by give this the ax . too bad leary do not revive the show for cable tv . still and i give this show one of my high of recommendation . truly a one of a kind show .
