It should be premiering in March of 2006. Link to Show Info. It has a pretty decent crew with Dennis Haysbert and Robert Patrick, among others. The background of the show revolves around a Special Forces Unit who travels around the world to handle global missions. I can't wait for the pilot :)

I'm sure I'll be hooked on this show, I can't wait for the pilot.

Any idea when "The Shield" will end? I hope it isn't anytime soon.

Yeah :( Shawn Ryan said he wanted the show to go out with a bang, which is the reason for the 21 episodes this season. Plus, his new show will probably occupy him for the long-term now.

I think 7 seasons is a nice way to go out, so he should create 2 more seasons after this one!

:(

I'm glad they cancelled it.

While I"m sad the shield is ending I think of it this way.

1. they can pull out all the stops, leave no awesome idea undone with the thinking that they need to keep stuff for next season, i.e. kill some main characters or something
2. shows ends while its still good.

I just saw the preview for this show. hard to see "President Palmer" from 24 as a "jack bauer" type guy.

and Agent Doggett / T-1000 also! Robert Patrick = great actor

Sounds like the show should be called "Rainbow Six" :confused:

Watch the two new episodes from last night, Boogiman. They address the money some more in them.


The Unit was one of the highest rated shows in it's time slot, and was renewed for another season.

As the season went on, the show grew on me, but I still have issues w/ Haysbert being anyone but President Palmer! :eek:

I wish they'd concentrate more on "The Unit" rather than the wives on base.
