I just watched all five seasons and I'm hooked. Will FX rerun season 6 before the start of season 7? My search-fu sucks. |
| i wish they would stop screwin with it. Season 7 is really just the second half of season 6. for some reason after season 6 was finished they decided to only air 8 or 9 episodes and save the remaining 11 and call it season 7 and then you have to wait an entire year. i hate that shit. |
I had heard the network only paid for the initial 8 episodes, fearing ratings were going down...When the ratings held, they bankrolled the remaining"season", but had to shoot it still...had the ratings sucked, they would have killed off some more folks I think... ![]() I love the ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shield

Agreed. It would ruin the show if they kept it going for another 5 years and they kept just getting away with shit. The show is ending at the perfect time, though I could argue that it should ended at the end of season 5. |
The Wire is a deeper drama, it's really different from the shield because the druggies/dealers/bangers/corner boys aren't extras they're actual characters. I like both. |
Hell of a deal when the writers can make you feel sympathy for a rogue cop ain't it.

The Shield ruined every other cop show for me. Seriously, no other show compares now that I've been exposed to The Shield's greatness. 24 is like watching paint dry in comparison. It's messed up he killed that cop at the beginning, but I don't even care now. I hope in the end Vic and Ronnie come out on top and Shane pays for what he did. I hope they show that one cop chick's ass again too. Damn she's hot. |
The Wire isn't bad at all, but its a notch below The Shield in terms of writing, IMO Brotherhood on Showtime isn't bad either. I think they could squeeze another 3-4 seasons out of The Shield without it getting stupid, and I'm really hoping they do. I don't think any series ever compared to the quality of this show... in all aspects. Its like a book on film, very immersive. |
I watched the first 3-4 seasons of 24 in a marathon. 24, while you can get interested in it... is a completely predictable drama-fest. I found the writing to be terrible, and the plot not much better. |
I wont watch any more HBO original series after the Sopranos bullshit ending |
most of them are actors. what sets them apart from other tv shows is that it shot in beemo using more blacks actors on one series than any other show . yes some are from the streets but they're not all beemo homies, some yes, most actors http://www.hbo.com/thewire/cast/ He has played Curly Howard in a Three Stooges movie ABC did several years ago and played The Thing in the Fantastic 4 movies. Pretty diverse actor. you forgot WIRED where he played John Belushi. |
