The Shield, Season 5: DVD release date and box art Posted Dec 21st 2006 6:33PM by Jonathan Toomey Filed under: TV on DVD, The Shield, FX
Savor it folks. It's been a long time coming, but according to TV Shows on DVD, FOX has finally released the information for the fifth season of The Shield. Check out that box art. Vic looks great, huh?
Here's the bad news. The release date has already been bumped from February 27 to March 27, which confirms that the new season won't be back until April. Notice the box though? It says "Season 5" and not "Season 5 - Part 1." Initially, FX had set season five up as a 21 episode story arc. It would appear that it's now been split. The final ten episodes of what would have been called "Season 5 - Part 2" are now season six. The show was renewed for a final seventh season.
****At the bottom right corner of the box it says "Season 5".

This to me seems like a bit of a marketing ploy. Fox can charge whatever, say $35, for a short season 5 and $35 for a short season 6. If they released it all at once, it would probably be $50 total. We get screwed out of the money.

A complete season of 21 episodes would cost more than $50. That's definitely near the $70-$90 range. My guess is they'll sell the slightly shorter seasons at the same price that they've sold all the previous sets.
Just curious, are there any plans to simply start calling this section season 6, since it seems that that's what everyone else, including Shield writers, are calling it now?

As long as the commentary's are up to par, I don't mind how they release it. Saying that, it's a shame that Forrest Whitaker doesnt seem to get a commentary.

The whole Season 5B vs. Season 6 naming thing seems silly to me but I digress. More important things for me to ponder over.......like how Shane will ultimately get his and when Claudette will be removed from the Captain position.
