The Shield

[cbooth]

Barring Farscape, this is my favorite show to watch. I've recently borrowed season 1 from a friend of mine and I can say that this show makes every drama on T.V. look tired, boring and unimaginative. It's just that good.
I've just started watching season 2 and once again, it looks like FX has knocked one out of the park. I can't wait for season 3 to start, but I have no idea when that will be. From the promos that I've seen, it looks like it won't be showing until 2004. Can anyone confirm this? Better yet, does anyone know what month and date it's supposed to air? Thanks very much.

I think Matt Roush said in his column that we shouldn't expect it until January. And I believe it'll be another shortie season, just 13 eps. :(

That sounds about right :(

I guess that FX wanted the season premiere of season 3 to coincide with the release of season 2 on DVD. Still, I hate short seasons. It's too reminescient of how Sci-Fi used to screw around with Farscape's schedule, what with the long breaks in between and whatnot.

At least I have something to look forward to on T.V. :mad:

I found out that FX will be showing The Shield from the first episode, starting next Tuesday (Oct. 28th). This is a great time for those who haven't had a chance to catch up on earlier episodes.

I only wish Sci-Fi had the same kind of appreciation towards it's viewers and towards it's ex-flagship series. :mad:

I have never seen it, but I noticed on the previews for the new season that Kenny Johnson is on the show. I LOVED him on Pensacola, Wings of Gold. That's incentive enough for me to try to get caught up on the eps!
