Best cop show ever.
IMHO of course---but just barely beating out the long ago cancelled "Homicide: Life in the Streets."


Anyone else watch it? Tuesday nights on FX.


(FX rocks.....also has what I think is thee greatest show ever, "Rescue Me." Also had another cancelled favorite, "Son of the Beach.")

Ooh, close, but the tv show is a little bloodier.



PS: I thought you used the ones with wings?

i started watching it last season. i am waiting for 10 o'clock on tuesday nights.

im wondering what vic's got going. he was talking to emolia(?) after the grenade went off in last night's episode. im also wondering if he had anything to do with kavanaugh's ex raping herself.

Last season was great! If you missed the first few seasons, you missed a lot of background leading into this season. Well worth the DVD rental to catch up. I plan on getting the DVD set for myself.


(I don't think Vic had anything to do with Kavanaugh's ex and her issue)

DULP! I don't have cable but from what I've seen of the show it's raw and gritty.

If you missed last night's season finale, you missed a great one! One of the best cop shows ever! This past season was incredible.



Reruns starting with Season 1 are on Spike TV on Friday nights.

NC, I totally mkissed this season. But, I love that show. I'll have to try and catch it the second time around...

I think this was the best season by far. I couldn't fall asleep after watching it last night. Awesome acting---Forrest Whitaker was a great addition to this past season.

I just got finished catching up. I can't hardly believe it ended like that. I for sure didn't see it coming.

Ductape, I was pretty floored myself.


I only figured what was going to happen when Shane went back to the car to get Lem some food.

do we know if forrest whitaker is going to be around next season?

i thought it was going to end in the predictable way of them beating IAD but....I know they'll all be suspect in the murder. will kavanaugh get to stay on em i wonder?

Spoiler warning:




I hope Kavanaugh doesn't return. If he's back and Lem's gone... well, I don't want to think about a season like that (which, of course, means Whitaker is a great actor).

The wife and I have been watching this on DVD now. Great show. The thing that I don't get is they capped a cop in season one for being a rat and now every time the strike team pulls Vic off some dirtbag drug dealer and keep him from killing them I always say, "They whacked a cop in season one! What do they care about a damn thug?".

The Shield is a good cop show.

FX always has good shows on at 10 pm on Tuesdays. They never use any "filler" shows, so there's always something happening.

I like Michael Chiklis, he was a really good Curly/Jerry/Babe Howard/Horwitz in a movie about The Three Stooges.

Another great season so far this year. Michael Chiklis is awesome as Vic and the supporting cast is great too.

It is odd, Nigal, how they seem to know when it's "appropriate" to whack someone.....Vic must be some kind of super detective because he knows all the angles and isn't afraid to work them.

Get out & do something. Hike. Why live your life in a make-believe TV world ? They're proving it does untold amount of damage to children.

Does anyone know who sings the song they used in the promo for this season? I don't watch the show, but loved the song -- and also that promo, where the camera kinda swooped in and chiklis gave it an ugly look, then turned/bent away from it.

Anyhoo, what's the song?!!?? You've got me thinking it right now..... something about forgiving (or, not forgiving)

I also read about as much as I watch tv too. Is that a make believe world too? Should I burn all my books? Nam, Cat's superiority is really killing my self esteem here...

I actually do spend too much time on-line. I use it to take breaks from hiking (I live in the mountains) and I certainly don't want to watch a cop show. (I carry a badge for a living, but hope to retire in a few years) I'm building a house takes up a LOT of time) with my daughter & son & law, but I also go-on-line when I have to be quiet when I'm baby-sitting (often) my 2 grandkids when they nap. I have a little league game this evening (much better then tv to go to)and I go to work tonight. I built an armoire for my hiking stuff this past summer along with a fieldstone shed & metal roof open sided patio pavillion. I'm building a fireplace this summer if it ever stops raining for the (halfway dug)foundation hole. Sidewalks front & back. Yesterday, I had to dig up my septic tank & they pumped it last night. Repaired my Garden tractor & mowed a couple acres of grass. Bent up my tractors front bumper against the back wall of my stone shed so I designed,welded & painted up a new better one. People in general watch too much TV (IT isn't good) & if that offends you, I'm sorry (but I probably hit a sore point) just like somebody telling you to stop drinking or smoking. People still get offended but it's still good advice. If you have to live yopur life around a TV set (& trolling). You can take it or leave it, but since it bothers you & you strike out, it's a tender spot.

No, good advice is knowing when it's your place to give advice on how others choose to spend their time. I spend all day facing the grim realities of death each and every day. If I want to sit down with my wife over dinner with the tv on and talk about my day who the hell are you to judge that?

I mean, TV? Is this where you really want to try and stake the moral high ground?

Actually I wasn't (orig) talking to you personally, but seemed to strike a sensitive issue with you.

I'm sure you've heard it before, but why don't you grow up.
