    Chicago Fire definitely has familiarity going for it and familiarity going against it as well.

    Wolf is not about to break any new ground here. He's just creating the kind of TV that people watch.

    In a world without cable dramas, Chicago Fire would be considered television at its more compelling and realistic. As it is, it walks the line between shameless entertainment--hot guys, hot girls, the fires within, the fires without--and intelligent storytelling.

    Rote but entertaining, Chicago Fire can't be ruled out as perhaps one of NBC's best chances for a hit.

    This seems like a serviceable drama that merits a bit better ladder grade (heh-heh) for an improved second hour.
