Hi, My name is Tony, 39 yrs old, live near Portland, Maine. Married for 19 yrs, have 2 kids, daughter is 18 and son is 14. Work in the music business usually from the east coast. I have worked mostly with rock group REO Speedwagon, who also has been my favorite group since I was 12. Getting to the subject of The Shield: To be truthful, I discovered the show just this past July when I fell asleep with the FX channel on(I have to sleep in a recliner forever now due to a car accident in 2003), so I watch alot of tv at all kinds of times throughout the day and night. The only thing I knew about The Shield was the box set's I seen at Wal-Mart. I have never watched an episode in my life. Well, one night, I woke up and the remote was too far away for me to reach and I wasn't about to get up and get it since I was in pain. So I kept it on that channel, and an episode of The Shield was just starting. I watched the whole episode and wanted to see what was going to happen next, and low and behold another episode was on. So, after watching 4 episodes that night I was so hooked. I mean HOOKED. The next day, I drove around everywhere looking for every box set I could find. I found 1, 2, 3, and 5. Later that week I found 4. So I started watching from season 1, and finished all episodes in less than 10 days. Now, I can't wait for SEASON 6 which I have not seen an episode of. So, does ANYONE know when the Season 6 Box Set is coming out, and, does anyone know when the season premiere of season 7 is? It figures, with my luck, I find a show that I love and it ends up being the last season...Sucks big time! They should do at least 10 season or 100 episodes. The show is definitely worth it. Well, nice to meet ya all and hope to chat soon! Tony!

Great to meet you, Tony!! I'm not surprised that you became addicted.... it's really the best show EVER! I'm happy you found us - this is the best place to get your Shield fix during our ever painful hiatus... a few of us recently got to visit the set in LA - check out the red Members Only section for details! We never really know what's going on with the scheduling .... the DVDs for S6 should come out just before S7 starts, but there's no info on that yet. Rumors around the set were that S7 will start airing on FX in either March or April, but again... no solid info yet. We're planning a SHIELD SERIES FINALE bash in Vegas, so the sooner we know the air dates, the better!!

Well, nice to meet ya all and hope to chat soon! Tony! Your story sounds so familar! Just about the same thing happened to me only it was during Season 2. I bought the boxed set of Season 1 and watched every ep and then rewatched them with the commentaries--in a massive non-stop marathon. I lived in front of my television for two days and nights...maybe it was three. I can't remember!
Even during the [dreaded] hiatus, this is one hell of a fun place to hang out. The diehards stick it out, but this place swarms with members during the season run.
I just stay logged on all the time, so I can stop in whenever I am around the computer. And because I have insomnia, this is one place I'm visiting at the wee (as in tiny!) hours of the morning.
Great people and great discussions here! You'll have a good time, Tony. Welcome!

Better late than never, my friend! I caught on myself during the reruns of S4 just before S5 premiered. Got all the seasons and watched them as fast as I could. Now I'm like everyone else here...an addict with no desire for a cure! Have a blast. Like E said, this is definitley the premiere TS site on the net bar none. Great to have you here!

I am sorry about your accident, Tony. But, think about this: THE SHIELD helped you recover. THE SHIELD helped you become a better, stronger, more driven individual!!! And now you know a bunch of cool MO FO's on this board to B.S. with. Glad to have ya on board.
