I’ll have to watch the older seasons at some point . . . I hate jumping into a series like this right in the middle, and I could never watch 24 while The Shield was still running. Since it seems that F/X just dropped it, looks like its time to see what all the 24 hype has been about.

I’m going to miss The Shield. Hopefully 24 can take some of the sting away.

It was so bad that I couldn’t believe people actually watched it, much less raved about it. I don’t know where the disconnect is, because I like the genre.
