Default Five Ways to Fix Chicago Fire

http://www.twcc.com/articles/2014/12...x-chicago-fire

Quote:
Move Jesse Spencer Front & Center

Star of Chicago Fire, Jesse Spencer plays Lieutenant Matthew Casey. He is the leader of truck 81 and has a lot of personal turmoil that he leaves behind when he is on the job. As of late, Casey’s storyline has taken a backseat to the dramatic turns of other Chicago Fire characters. Jesse is the star of the show and we want to see more of him and to see his character find some happiness in his personal life.

More Bedroom Drama, Less Ladder Climbing

The majority of each episode is dedicated to the work that the firefighters do and how they put their lives on the line during that work. But all work and no play makes for an uneven show. Firefighters are our local heroes. There is a reason firefighter calendars are hot sellers each year: firefighters are hot! We want to see the firefighters out of their heavy gear and in steamier situations. Bring on the romance.

Pump up the show score with Pop Music Hits

With the plethora of action scenes in Chicago Fire there comes a lot of noise — and that is to be expected. But our ears get weary of it and it would be a nice contrast to feature some popular music within the score of the show. A few fun tunes will help balance out the noise of the action scenes and it would be a nice addition to the show.

Concentrate the Action — There’s too many Catastrophes

Yes, large cities do face catastrophes from time to time, but lately Chicago fire has had a bit too many. It would be wise to save large scale catastrophes for season finales and have the majority of their work the same as most fire departments: car accidents, simple falls at home and even a kitten up a tree would add a little dimension to their work.

Do we Really Need to See ‘Women in Peril’

This is the 21st Century and women are now rooted in the idea that we can take care of ourselves. In the past, women swooned over stories about damsels in distress, but today it is almost insulting. Yes, women get injured along with men, but Chicago Fire seems to feature many more woman in peril than their male counterparts. It would make a great storyline to take a classic ‘woman in peril’ scene and shake things up by featuring a man in the part. Today, men do many things that traditionally used to be women’s work — housework, childcare and so on. Chicago Fire should have some fun and show a few scenes where the men are in peril doing simple chores.

What a dumb article. It doesn't need to be fixed. One of the few good shows on TV.
