Purely Joyful Movie!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This was one of the best shows on TV while it lasted. The story line included comedy, drama, and tragedy, and mixed them well. The central character was played by Dennis Leary. He was a flawed detective, alcoholic, abusing prescription drugs, and cheating on his wife. Not the best qualities for a member of the police force. It was those underlying stories that really made this series so enjoyable. It wasn't always easy to watch, but it was always compelling and drew you in so that you didn't want it to end. I was shocked when they took it off the air without any announcement. That was a huge mistake by some spineless executives without the nerve to give this gritty show a chance for success.

This had to be one of the finest and funniest shows in recent history. Snappy writing and a great cast made this the most watchable new series on television I have seen. The characters were well-developed and each episode had me doubling over with laughter. To think that there are so many lame shows on television being renewed year after year, while a true gem like this one got cancelled shows just what is wrong with the networks and the idiots who control the programming. I had to go out of my way to keep up with the network's broadcast schedule to find this show whenever they moved it around so it's no big surprise that it did not have a chance to find a bigger audience. The show itself was a cross between the drama of Hill Street Blues, with a healthy level of Seinfeld's clever writing and quirkiness. Denis Leary is a true comic genius and the supporting cast (including the riotious Lenny Clarke) deserved so much more from their network to break this show. If it weren't for cable television providing the intelligent and edgiest shows, television sets would have gone the way of the Edsel decades ago.The cancellation of this show was an absolute crime and I'm not sticking up for a fellow Massachusetts guy's project. Heck, the show was more 'New York' than 'Mass' in attitude anyhow, but it was funny, heartfelt and clever...something the networks never get right anyway. Major bummer and the reason the local news is about the only network television I watch. "ABC" should stand for "A Bad Choice" on this one!

I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that ABC canceled this hilarious show!!!! This series was unique, funny, and had a wonderful cast which clicked. It was the only show I looked forward to watching whenever it was on the air. I can't believe that ABC, in yet another DUMB move, didn't consider moving the program to a different time slot, or advertised more!!! They really didn't give it a chance. I wish another network, would pick the show up. I hope that in the near future all episodes of "THE JOB" are on DVD. This show was a real classic, and will certainly be missed by myself and countless others!!!!!!

Excellent police dramatic television series. "The Job" is very realistic and its characters are very charismatic and "human", especially Mr. Bill Nunn a seasoned and veteran actor. It's a rarity that a local TV network has had a hit series which "The Job" is. Only one problem--the show is too short. There isn't much else to say because "The Job" says it all. . . . Hats off to Denis Leary and crew!
