Well the general consensus on the internet seems to be that it will start on April 3rd, but on Saturday night FX started doing their season 6 rewind. Generally they only start that 3-5 weeks before the new season of that show is about to premiere. After the final night of the rewind the new season premieres that week. Is the new season getting pushed out the door early?

Just yesterday a new bit was added to Wikipedia about season 7.

"The Shield creator, Shawn Ryan, has stated that due to his affiliation with the Writers Guild of America strike, he does not intend to be present on the set of the final episode of the series. He also does not plan to participate in editing the final episode."

They link to his open letter, which isn't dated, but it sounds like it was written before the strike started. There is also an response posted to his letter which was written on November 7th. If they edited the episode without him then the season could be all completed by now and ready to go.

On the Wikipedia entry for "Dirt", one of FX's other shows, it says "Season two is tentatively scheduled to begin airing on January 1, 2008, however due to the 2007 WGA strike, production of further episodes could be affected." If Dirt is the next series to be shown, then they should be playing the first season on Saturdays now instead...

Anyways, if any show was starting in January, they haven't shown any promos yet regardless. What do you guys think about all this?

Is "not soon enough" a sufficient answer?

But really, it almost feels like you're looking a little too much into the subject, though who knows. As this strike rolls on, stations are going to be hurting for new stuff and if FX has a full season of the Shield available. Maybe they go for it early.

It's very worrying that Shawn Ryan wasn't/isn't going to be present for the crafting of the final episode. I understand his intentions, but damn!

It's the BEST SHOW EVER.


But seriously though, it's odd that I don't know a single person who watches the Shield yet it has enough viewers to go for seven seasons.

Well it seems that the second third of Nip/Tuck's fifth season will be shown earlier than scheduled and is pushed up to January now instead of Dirt. Since Dirt cannot be finished because of the writers strike, it is tentatively pushed back to March.

The Shield is still set for April. :(

I guess I'm not one to question someone standing up for their beliefs, but you really can't wait one more episode to make a stand??? You're going to drop off for the LAST episode of what many consider the best show on televison??? I guarantee he will regret that years from now. I just hope the people he has running the show don't let all the fans down.
