was the perfect replacement for me love that show
I remember reading the backstory of The Shield. All of it was inspired by the crooked cops of Rampart, California.
For those unfamiliar with the case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_scandal
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/lapd/
And Anthony Anderson, Glenn Close, and Forrest Whitaker's guest roles from season to season may have been the best running supporting acting roles in TV in a long ass time. All three kilt it in their own ways.

They would've been able to say "fuck," but that's about the only difference. It tested the boundaries of FX as it was, and whatever few restrictions there were only made the filmmakers more creative.
First and last director of The Shield, Clark Johnson (a vet of the show that inspired it, Homicide: Life on the Street), was responsible for creating the show's style, which was maintained throughout.

No problem, brother K.
Good thread too (you could see the popularity for the show). You got 3 pages on this thread already (and it's from August 2010 now)
after season 1 where they get off that "McNulty is superman BS" storyline it gets much better
funny,i just did a marathon session of OZ.
i had some free time so i watched the whole thing.
shit was good

actually you're right on time. The way you watched is the BEST way to do it IMO. What's not being said here is that there was like a 8 month wait between seasons. Now just imagine waiting 6-8 months after Lem got killed to find out what's gonna happen next...that's what most people who followed the show had to do
how is rome and weeds?

I fucked around and did that shit over the course of a week on some Keone shit...my mind was fucked up after that shit...took a day or 2 for me to realize I was free...hahahha I was covering up my food when eating...looking around in the shower even tho I lived by my damn self hahahhaha
how is rome and weeds?
I liked Rome a lot, don't expect Spartacus, it's more dialogue driven.
Weeds is addictive, it's sort of weird and stupid at times, but some of the characters keep you watching
how many season oz have?
6...I wasn't clowning you tho...I do shit like that all the time especially w/ summers off...I literally watched all of season 3 of Breaking Bad in 1 day...same thing for the 1st season of Spartacus...got roughly 2 weeks of vacation left...not much to do in the day...need a new series to watch
thats what kept me away from the series in the first place. but bro watch that shit
Vic thought he was getting away with shit but ended up going to his own personal Hell.
The Wire and The Shield fans go back and forth. Both shows were great. I thought The Shield was more intense. If it had been on HBO, it would have been hands down better. It was held back a little bit by being on FX and not being able to take it quite as far as The Wire in terms of graphic content.
But it's one awsome show. I love the characters. They all seem believable and are developed more than the characters in The Wire. The Wire's focus was the city and the plot. The Shields focus was the characters. They drove the story and their actions from the very first episode carried over to the very last episode. Everything from season one to sesaon seven tied together at the end to make the ending amazing and appropriate.
