The Job (2001 TV series)
The Job is an American single-camera sitcom that aired on ABC between March 14, 2001, and April 24, 2002. Several of the principal actors went on to either star or guest star in the FX network's Denis Leary-produced Rescue Me. In Rescue Me, the lead character is very similar to Mike McNeil, but is a fireman rather than a police officer.
Summary
The series follows a New York City police officer named Mike McNeil – who indulges in adultery, alcohol, cigarettes, and prescription drug abuse – and his fellow bumbling detective pals. The show, which appeared to borrow the tone and look of NYPD Blue for semi-satirical purposes, was built around the Mike McNeil character, but relied on a strong ensemble cast.Cast
