[quote name='anonymouswhoami']I would purchase The Shield, but the video is fullscreen (4:3), when it was shot in widescreen. The widescreen edition is available in other regions, but for some reason, Fox decided to go with the original broadcast aspect ratio in North America.[/quote]
But if it was broadcasted in fullscreen on American televisions I don't have a problem with that.
Regardless, I saw Season 1 of The Shield and it has some moments, but not really enough momentum to keep me watching. I don't think it's that great. I find most of the characters dispicable and unappealing. I went to watch 24 and that is a superior show in every way. Better writing, characters and production. Just my two cents.
