What happens

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 (played by Leary) is very similar to Mike McNeil, but is a fireman rather than a police officer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
