Once again, actors should stick to acting. Clennon

This is the BEST SHOW ON TV...period. Its the only one I will schedule around. The plots are believable and very detailed.....much like a Clancy novel. Must SEE TV!

I guess I'm so far out of the mainstream..... (I don't like rap either)

Hi, I liked The Agency too. When I found out about David Clennen's Nazi comment, he wasn't just insulting our President but all freedom loving Amercans, I wrote The Agency and told them I would never watch the show again.
Movie business is the biggest business and they work for a profit just like any other business. When will these Hollywood idiots figure out it is not about them !
Yes they sure are free make themselves unmarketedable !
Thanks for the posts.

I would have no heartburn if Quinn double crossed him and put a little cobra venom on his coffe cup.

I don't get it. People watch the Agency for its believable realism? Why have Hollywood serve you up their version of world events? Why not just read the news itself. Is’s easy; just read it on the internet. It's usually far more shocking than I recall TV ever was. I haven't watched TV in twenty years. It's a *ucking waste of time. Once upon a time TV was entertaining, but that was in the beginning when stage actors and vaudeville performers made a show. Now all you get are skins of actors empty of any talent. Culture has fallen to such a depth that my children prefer pop music from my childhood over the crap sold today. The mind that hears music in rap that champions a gangster life and misses the romance in a western Ballard that upholds a virtue is utterly devoid of any morality. Hollywood is at the root of the decline of culture and its current product is worthless.

Never heard of it. The only network show I watch is JAG. Otherwise, the writing of TV shows is so far out of my demographic it may as well be in Crayola. Between satellite channels, FNC, and FR, I have plenty to fill the time without ABCBSNBC.

Sent CBS my two cents worth. My wife and I always watch this one show.

Hope this is just an internet rumor.

JAG is my other favorite.....although I have been missing it lately as Im taking a Russian class on Tues nights.... These two shows seem to hit current events right on. Its almost uncanny how they can put these things out either before or immediately after a world event. JAG is a little too "X-Files" for me sometimes though.

I would have no heartburn if Quinn double crossed him and put a little cobra venom on his coffe cup.

And that is the problem with the show. To much Teri and not enough Quinn.

Teri: "You mean the bowl is actually a bomb? Oooo, I can't disguise a bomb meant for a terrorist. What if a kid holding a puppy with a booboo on its widdle paw was in the room when the bomb blew the terrorist to hell."

Quinn: “A bomb disguised as a bowl? I'll take a dozen, no make that two dozen. And a special one for the president of france. Just in case.”

you gotta admit Terri is much better to look at....but I will agree with you that Quinn is much more interesting....especially the latest about his sister..

Quinn is the only one on that show that I would trust with the security of the nation.

The others let emotion cloud their judgement. They keep on trying to find "other ways" to handle the situation when they run up against the hard choices. They are conflicted and they dither while the clock ticks.

Quinn sees his duty and does it. He doesn't care what others think. With the exception of Sikes he is the only one I would want at my back for two reasons if I went down he would see the mission through and he would make sure that the other side paid.

Amazing that they try to make him the villain because of the very qualities that in real life would make him a hero.
