This Shield along with Nip Tuck, The Sopranos and Boston Legal are to me the best shows on television. I have heard rumors that this was The Shields last season. If you think about it they have just about done as much as they can with it. Most would agree for the show to end Vic would have to die or face prison for his crimes. I am not sure I would want to see either but I would be compelled to watch it. My normal channels to watch are Discovery, A&E, History, TV Land, National Geographic and FX. I havent really watched network tv in a very long time.
