FX to Offer The Shield Mini-Show
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By R. Thomas Umstead 7/13/2006 8:07:00 AMPasadena, Calif. -- FX will create a mini-episode of gritty cop series The Shield to air on-demand and on video-broadband platforms prior to the show's sixth-season premiere in early 2007, according to president and general manager John Landgraf.
The show, which will be dubbed The Shield 5.5, is similar to the Rescue Me 2.5 video short released in May prior to the third-season premiere of the network's popular Denis Leary-produced firefighter series. That show, which featured Leary and the show's cast, drew 1.5 million viewers through cable video-on-demand and on the Internet via AOL, network officials said.
It's unclear whether The Shield's full cast will appear in the short video. The network ordered 10 episodes for its sixth season and 13 episodes for its seventh and final season.
FX also announced Wednesday the renewal of Rescue Me for a fourth season during its Television Critics Association session here. Production on the 13-episode season will begin early next year, with new shows airing on the network by the second quarter of 2007.
The current season of the show is averaging 2.9 million viewers, up 10% season-to-date versus last year.

Anybody know when to expect this quick fix before the main course?
Anyway, I only hope they show it on DirecTV like they did with that Rescue Me short. Not only would I not have to download it but I can tape it and watch it repeatdly. Also, they show it just as much when they are it so if they are, I'll be seeing it plenty of times.
Either way, if Lem is in it-albeit in flashbacks only-I'll be there.
As for Lem related dreams...E's got nothing on me and I'm going to leave it at that.
