 | | The scene exemplifies the ''sedate, content wonder,'' as cast member Chris Bauer puts it, of ''Third Watch,'' the fifth-year drama that after years of uncertainty seems to have arrived at a comfortable resting place. |
 | | ''Watch'' debuted in 1999 as a disaster-and-rescue-driven action show featuring firefighters, cops, and paramedics, but it garnered mediocre ratings and ended 50th in total viewers. |
 | | But it was last season when people really started to watch ''Watch'': After incorporating some megadisasters into the personal drama (e.g., a meth-lab explosion, the death of main character Alex Taylor) and premiering in syndication on A&E, the four-year-old series had an unexpected growth spurt, with viewership increasing 4 percent. |
