Tentative..... January 2007 is what all the press releases and media speculation have been saying lately. There are rumours that it might even be later than that. A few weeks ago there were ads during Rescue Me that said The Shiled was "Coming Soon" but then nothing more. There's no official announcement, so it's pretty much anyone's guess at this stage.

E, Scott Rosenbaum said pretty much the same as what you wrote above when we were out there last week. He mentioned that even as late as a March start was possible, but not likely, if I remember correctly. I doubt that it would be March, based on what he said about the DVD set. The DVDs of 5-A are likely to be released around Christmas. The DVD release is aften timed that way for peeps who want to make them Christmas gifts and to whet appetites before a new season starts. That points toward January. By the way, see the board about our set visit for info that I got in an emai from Scott today regarding what we are allowed to say about what we saw last week.

The DVD's have never made it out in time for Christmas, usually a week later. Trust me they would have been on my xmas list for the last 4 years otherwise.

S4 was released on December 26. The WORST shopping day of the year, imho. But I braved the angry gift-returning crowds to get mine....

There's nothing definite yet. This has been widely speculated and discussed in the thread "The Shield 5-B hits the dirt", in this same board E, my illustrious Global Moderator, checked the calendar and, based on the debut of the new series Dirt, which FX plans to start in Jan., The Shield can't start until April 3!!! click here: theshieldrap.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=season6&action=display&thread=1160446411&page=2#1165933503There is widespread hope that Dirt will be so lousy that it gets canceled before it completes it's run of 13 eps. I'm not sure it is actually scheduled for 13 eps, but that's the usual number. Anyway, it's not very likely that would happen but with TV, who know's? Does anyone remember if "Lucky," the 1st FX show to follow in TS's timeslot in spring of 2003, aired all of its eps? I don't think it did. Okay, I just checked and Lucky did NOT get canceled until after it's 1st season ended. Oh well.

The new issue of TV Guide-which is the Winter Preview issue-pretty much confirms that 5-B will start in April. It didn't give a day but I'm betting on the 3rd or 10th. The sooner, the better I say. I know I'm stating the obvious but at least there's no more guessing. If I find out the date, I'll let you know.
If it makes it anyone feel better, that issue gave Dirt a big jeer.

They've actually just showed the last episode of Season5 in Ireland, so I say The Netherlands wont be too far off either from airing.

"THE SHIELD" Back on Duty in April 10 episodes for season six; final season due in '08
January 22, 2007 Michael Chiklis on "THE SHIELD" A long wait for fans of "THE SHIELD" will come to an end this spring.
FX has set a premiere date for the shows sixth season: Tuesday, April 3, a week after new drama "DIRT" ends its season. The premiere will come just over a year after "THE SHIELD" fifth-season finale; that's the longest gap between seasons the show has had.
The long dry spell comes after a season five finale that saw Lem (Kenneth Johnson) murdered at the hands of one of his strike team partners, Shane (Walton Goggins), who mistakenly believed Lem had given up his crew to Internal Affairs. "THE SHIELD" creator Shawn Ryan says the bulk of season six, which will run for 10 weeks, will focus on Vic's (Michael Chiklis) search for Lem's killer, unaware that he's standing right beside him.
Recent Golden Globe winner Forest Whitaker will reprise his role as Internal Affairs investigator John Kavanaugh in season six, though Ryan declined to reveal how many episodes he'll be around.
The show is also gearing up for production on its seventh and final season. Those 13 episodes are scheduled to begin shooting in late spring, with a projected air date of early 2008.
