DOES ANY BODY ELSE LIKE THE SHIELD?

I love the shield, the best cop drama program ever!
I cant wait for the new season to start this month!

When Vick Mackey falls, it will be a hard fall and he'll take some people with him.

The Shield is a great but i think NYPD Blue just beats it to the title of best American cop show.

love the sheild.... the first ep. was great cant wait untill next week!

Yeah, I'm so glad that black gay guy got his revenge!

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHAHACTER?
I LOVE THE STRIKE TEAM, VIC AND THE
BOYS ARE SO COOL,I LOVE THEIR STYLE

FX has the two best shows on TV in The Shield and Nip/Tuck.

i like the new seaons it is sweet.

I dunno... I love NYPD Blue, but it kind of went downhill once Sipowitz got back on the wagon permanently and started lecturing his fellow detectives about the dangers of alcohol. It lost its "dark" edge. Now, I think The Shield is #1 and NYPD Blue #2.

Everyone keeps telling me how great "The Wire" is, but I just can't make myself sit through an episode . The characters just don't seem to have any depth...

Anyone like this show? I think it's kick-ass!

LOVE this show It's the best "non-HBO" series on TV.

BTW: Last week's episode was great. I never saw that ending coming. I knew that they would eventually kill off Deon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon... assuming he's dead and not just mangled, of course

Well I think it's basically just like a 24 ripp-off.

"24 rip-off"?! Wh@t the hell you talkin' bout, dude? Give me a "for instance". I need to hear this one.

24 rip-off?!?

WHAT!?!?

Pahlease!

Yeah, last weeks episode was awesome! Maybe Deon goes into a coma and Shane tries to finish him off?

This weeks episode should be good!

Tonight's episode can very well be the most disturbing 1 hour of television I've ever watched!

I love it!

A friend and I watched that episode, and he referred to the picture the criminal took with his cell phone as "Mackey's 'Get Out of Jail Free' card."

I have to agree. Could they have been more obvious, though, in drawing the parallel between Acaveda's trouble in dealing with the reality of the situation, and that of the women Claudette and Dutch are interviewing?

In a way it was kinda nice to see Acevada(sp?) get taken down a notch or two b/c he's just as "dirty" as Vic & the team in a lot of ways. And it will be interesting to see how Shane get out of the current mess that he's gotten himself into now w/ Tavon.

I think the pic will end up being more than just a get out of jail free card, once the buck toothed assailant realizes who he has in that pic he might blackmail...or ruin Acaveda's political career just for fun!

Yeah, the pic is definately gonna come back to haunt him sometime in the future...

I love this show!

Next weeks episode looks really good too!

WHAT IS THS 24 RIP OFF THING
THE SHIELD IS WAY BETTER THAN 24!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never seen 24 so I really couldn't compare it to Shield...my brother is always trying to get me to watch it. I don't think it could compare to The Shield though..

ive seen a good bit of the shield, it is not a 24 rip off, however i do think 24 is a better show, 24 is more original and i like bauer better, but i do think shield is a good show in its ows regard.. i saw an epsiode tonight on FX may have been old im not sure but the main cop in charge (the ******* kinda guy) had to blow a guy to not die... pretty intense

So what did you think of todays episode?

I thought the whole child computer porn incident was pretty interesting...I have a feeling we'll be hearing more about that in the future.

I'm really glad Acevada finally got his head banging encounter off his chest!

It will be interesting to see where the story goes concering what he plans to do about about that, not to mention the picture!

the main guy (the bald white guy) may be the Thing in the new fantastic 4 movie

The Shield and NYPD blue are both excellent cop shows but my favourite is Boomtown (How could the network pull the plug on such a good show?)

to all you shield out there,
i just found out that next season
might be the last one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man that sucks. I enjoyed the last 2 seasons, i have yet to see season 3 here in NZ. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR IT TO COME BACK ON. .Its one of my favourite shows.

Why would this be the last one? This sucks!

It is an amazing show, and I guess to keep that image they've decided to end it while its still good.

The new season with Glenn Closeis going to be amazing !

Idiot. The depth of the characters is what makes The Wire so great. It's the best show out there.

The Shield is an excellent show. Look forward to the final season.

It's OK but I think Vic Mackay is sometimes a cheap version of Tony Soprano but as a cop.

The filming style is a little distracting as well shaking a camera doesn't make it "real"

Jay Karnes is very good in it though as Dutch.

Yeah, the final season starts in September, I really think last season should've been the last one. Hopefully it will go out with a bang!

Oh, I'm sure this season will finish with a bang. There are still plenty of unresolved conflicts, and I believe it's been 18 months since the last season, so I've got a feeling the producers did everything possible to make this the perfect final season. Personally I think this show is a landmark for cable television and it'll be sad to see it end, but it's going to be amazing.

Been watching The Shield since the pilot. The final season premieres Sep. 2 on FX.

Look forward to what should be a great season.

For those of you that haven't seen there's an interview with Benito Martinez (Aceveda) on Collider. Check it out:

I think things between him and Vic are going to come to a head this year, I just hope Vic comes out on top. Honestly, I'm sure it'll be exciting either way though, love the writing on this show.

Been seeing a lot of promos for the final season, looks real good.
