The Shield is great but the best show on TV right now is "RESCUE ME"!!!!
That show is one awesome train wreck!!!!
MI-5 (Spooks) is also great. That show is better then 24 in my opinion simply because it's much more realistic and you really don't know WHAT will happen! They have a habit of killing lead actors like crazy. There is only ONE character from the original episode still left over (on Season 5 that is)
My favorite shows right now are:
Battlestar Galactica
Stargate Atlantis (it really isn't that good but I'm still tuning in every week.. lol)
24
Bones (I just got a thing for her)
Two and a half men
Spooks or MI-5 (US-title at Netflix)- These are AWESOME!
Prison Break is fun
Lost as well but is getting kind of drawn out
Still mourning the loss of "Firefly"
This new season of Jericho, Heroes and Til Death look promising... (Have the other stuff recorded such as Standoff, Smith, etc. recorded but not watched yet)
I was late too the party on this one, but I finally got to watch the series over the course of a week-long vacation.
Best. Western. Ever.
Rescue Me is fantastic, as good as The Shield and 24.
What I don't think most people realize, though, it that it is written as satire a great deal of the time, in my opinion!
