The "Fatal Attraction" actress will star as Capt. Monica Rawling for the cop drama's 13-episode fourth season, the cable channel announced Thursday. This is the first time Close will play a regular on a prime-time TV series.

Only 13 episodes???

 

[LordPhoenix]

Can't wait for the new season.

I wonder why the people who produce these Cable Shows can only put out 13 episodes every 3 years. It takes so long between seasons I forget why I liked it in the first place.

So will the previous Captain still be in the show since he's now a city official or did they write him out of the show?.........

Hmm...I don't know if I like the sound of this. Just another character to pull the focus away from the REAL star of the show...Dutch!

Yuck I hate her. Damn the shield is one of my favorite shows, I own season 1 and 2 on DVD, I guess I won't be buying season 4

Fewer episodes, more time between seasons = greater quality. For Example:

The Sopranos
Nip/Tuck
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Wire
Rescue Me

and so on...
