FTA-TV The Shield

[tails]

Just wondering if anyone else watched this new show on Ten, which has had critical acclaim in the states. I thought it was quite good, with twists you don't see coming, a good script and cast and excellent cinematographer.
Other peoples thoughts.

So far so good,but did ch10 really need to run an ad for the show during the ad breaks in The Shield ?

 

[JUBJUB]

Bloody ch10.
The Shield has been dumped after only 4 episodes.

Great show, the only cop drama i actually watch. Vic is the man.

It was mean't to be on in Vic this week,but tonight they're flogging a double episode of Law & Order:Criminal Intent [another great show]at 8.30pm thursday.

I looked up Ten's website and The Shield isn't mentioned anywhere.

Well that bloody sucks. Was the 1 cop drama I actually liked.

Us down here only just got it, so I guess Southern Cross will dump it aswell?

Typical of any station in Australia. Get a good product from overseas that is slightly controversial, receive a few complaints and drop it.

I have no respect left for channel ten.

I reckon its more to do with ratings.Ch10 always change the shows at 9.30pm thursdays because they struggle to rate against The Footy Show.

 

[thehardaway]

Well, Season One is available on dvd on October 8. Bout $90, 4 disc with 13 episodes on it

I think it's time I wrote channel ten an abusive letter. They persist with crap like Big Brother, yet put new episodes of classic shows like The Simpsons and probably the only decent show from America, The Shield, they pull off the air. I want them off the air. Give these shows to networks that will show them.

i really enjoyed this show a couple of months back and i have not scene it since.

anyone know what happened?

 

[TheBloods]

I was enjoying it too, as it was quite different but then it disappeared with no warning. The morons in programming (moron and programming in the same sentence is rather superfluous) at Ch 10 decided to take it off because it wasn't rating well. Surprise - it was opposite The Footy Show. Apparently they will bring it back when they find new time slot!!?!

 

[Asgardian]

The show is still in production

"September 11, 2003

Filming on the third season begins on September 12th in Los Angeles. According to FilmJerk.com sources, the first two episodes will both be directed by Clark Johnson (who directed the pilot and has since gone on to direct this summer's "S.W.A.T."). In the first episode, which bears the title "Playing Tight" (#301), viewers will find that new restrictions force Vic to let the streets go wild, jeopardizing the money train stash. Also, several of the lead cast members get love interests."

You'll find this info here

Apparentley it will be back over summer,which usually means at the end of November.
I wish they'd put it on at 9.30pm monday instead of another repeat episode of Law & Order.

 

[captain boyd]

Thanks to all for this information.I really hope it comes back soon as it was really enjoyable.
BTW both Homicide:LOTS and Law & Order started over the summer period at first.

I couldn't get into this show, the main character is too unbelievable, all a bit over the top, Law & Order beats it hands down, even the repeats.

"The District" which was on 9 was an excellent show, but for some reason, they started showing it after midnight, I wonder if the programmers have any idea.

I thought Chiklis was better in The Commish,far more believable anyway.

I reckon The Shield is the best cop series on TV. It is a abslolute materpeice. The show is so intruging and thought provoking. I love how the characters have true depth and are not shown as either good guys or bad guy.

What do you guys think of The Sheild???

 

[JUBJUB]

I like it.The camera work is a bit like Wildside,but you get use to it.

 

[The Scarecrow]

Pretty good, it seems to have more excitement in it then regular cop shows.

After a terrible night of ratings on Saturday night (came 4th well behind 3rd placed ABC) Super Crime Saturday appears to be gone. Back to back movies this week.

The Shield is good imo but doesn't appear to have the following to hold a spot during ratings.

I just looked up the ch10 TV guide and The Shield is still on.It'll be on at 11.45pm.

The 2 movies they are running from 6.30pm are Billy Madison [ must be 5th time in 2 years ] and Gladiator [yawnfest ].

The bastards have taken off Monk.
That rated well until ch10 kept moving it around.Maybe it can replace The Cooks in a week or two.
