Let me guess: washed-out colours, shaky cam, characters faces frozen in an expression of grim determination, every hint of humour eschewed.

Can’t wait.

this is sounding more and more like Rush, rush is a great show and only got 800k’s so i can’t imagine how they think this will perform. i 2nd what zambora siad, even if it does have a talented crew, i’m sure 9 will storm in and change it all to their crap standards like they did with the strip.

looks like the carbon copier is getting a good workout at 9 with, missing pieces, animal emergency, deadly surf, 000 heroes, dancing on ice and now this.

i sense another canal road/strip with here.

Oh yeah and sea patrol, but still not enough to trust them.

Out of all the aussie dramas on nine, they only gave 1 a chance to run in the same timeslot in its whole run – underbelly. Chances of it happening again – slim.

Oh come on John – Sea Patrol was awsome during its second season, first season not so much! You also seem to forget that it and Underbelly are ratings winners. Any network has its share of flops and BTW Out of the Blue is on Network Ten.

The Alice,McLeod’s Daughters,Out Of The Blue…not a very good resume is it?
Channel 9′s programming is absolutely appaling.Sea Patrol anyone?What a load of bollocks.Some of the worst acting i have seen on any australian show.Gee Jeremy Lindsay Taylor i love seeing you back on screen & i guess you’ve got to work but you are so wasted in this tripe.What a shame 9 pulled out of the Young Doctors revival.Could have had a multitude of great actors on our screen again & give us some trashy soap that we did so well in the 70′s & 80′s.
Rescue is such an inspired name.Sometimes you can just feel a show is going to bomb.I suppose you will have the typical (fake) ocker males,complete with chauvanistic traits.
Take a leaf out of 7′s schedule…..Packed To The Rafters…need i say more?

Nine Network! – Drama Series ? – rip-off of other network’s success!?- Canned before the second commercial break! Cynical? – never.

Any chance of it being good is ruined by likelyhood of Nine interfering in casting and script. Then we have their programming and promotions departments to really screw it up.

Woof, this sounds terrible. The brother rivalry thing is so corny and cliche. I think i’ll back yu up Les.

These rescue shows seem to be the flavour of the month. Rescue,Rush and now All Saints with its medical response unit.
Where will this be produced? Sydney,Melbourne or the Gold Coast?

Rescue sounds ordinary. I give it 3 weeks.

They are copying Channel 10 with Rush..

So is Rescue based on the Cops or the Paramedic Rescue Squad?

Despite the boring title, hopefully the producers don’t screw this one up because it sounds like it could be really good and I like the aspect of the two brothers.

In fact – it sounds a lot like Police Rescue which hopefully it can be as good as.

Finally, I wonder who will be cast in it – personally I wouldn’t mind seeing Libby Tanner in a role like this again, maybe even Simone Jade McKinnon from McLeod’s. Can’t really think of any guys though…

“Competitive alpha males, they argue over everything, agree on nothing, but defend each other from outsiders no matter what. They’re also members of the Special Operations Rescue Unit. Together they go about their everyday jobs of saving lives.”

So, err… it’s “Rush”, then?

Except Rush did it with a pairing of alpha male and alpha female. Somehow, I don’t think a show that’s willing to name a character “Chase” (what is this, a Stephen King novel?) is going to quite pull it off. Especially since it’s on Nine, so it’ll have just enough of a lighting budget to make the cardboard sets look a small step above Home And Away standard.
