Cheers to NCIS for putting Robert Patrick back on duty. The kick-ass character actor, last seen as Col. Tom Ryan on CBS' prematurely cancelled The Unit, reenlisted on the network as Col. Merton Bell, a former tank commander who now runs a powerful private-military contracting firm with business in Iraq and Afghanistan—and a penchant for breaking the law. With his buzzcut and gruff demeanor, Patrick...

“The Unit” focuses on a clandestine group of highly-trained soldiers as they execute military missions all around the world. Those that gave the show a try in its first season might want to take another look. “The Unit” struggled early on to find a balance between the intense and compelling military missions (that made male [...]

Reading the credits on The Unit drew serious saliva from quality-TV junkies: The Shield ’s Shawn Ryan and ace writer-director David Mamet co-created and exec-produced the four-season CBS drama about the Army’s elite Delta Force, and Dennis Haysbert, fresh from his turn on 24 , stars. But lofty expectations weren’t met: The Unit played out like an adult (or maybe young-adult) version...

It's all over now, so perhaps it's the perfect time to catch up on The Unit , CBS' covert-ops drama starring Dennis Haysbert of 24 and insurance-commercials fame and Robert Patrick of Terminator 2 . Created by Shawn Ryan (of The Shield ) and David Mamet (who should need no introduction), The Unit tells the story of Delta Force, that elite squad that's sent around on secret missions around the globe--and...

Since the nominees for TV's top award are a lot like TV reruns, there's a good chance we'll see most of last year's nominees for outstanding lead actor in a drama series return when bids are unveiled on July 16. Judging panels will not be used this year to whittle down final nominees after evaluating sample episodes submitted by the top 10 voter-getters determined by a popular vote of members of the...

Hey everyone!! Today, I wanna talk about one of my favorite 24 Presidents ever: David Palmer. He was the first person to hold the office on the show and I can’t help but have a soft spot for him. For those of you who tuned in late, season 1 was all about him running for [...]

Martin Sheen or Dennis Haysbert? I mean, clearly Jed Bartlett is the best man ever, but after retiring, he hasn’t done much. David Palmer wasn’t as good, but now he could kill you just by looking at you. I guess my first instinct would be to vote for Bartlett. But then I wonder, what if the future [...]

There seems to be a short shelf-life for TV shows on the special forces. First the brilliant British TV show "Ultimate Force" was cancelled after four seasons. Now I've learned that it's tamer, dulled down, soap operaish American cousin "The Unit" has been cancelled after four seasons as well. I don't watch much TV, but I get a kick out of Army stuff. When I was 20 I tried to join...

That’s right, I said “5″. Terminator: Salvation (aka Terminator 4) comes out later this month. But its director is already looking ahead to the next installment of this, the second trilogy, that focuses on a grown-up John Connor played by Christian Bale. I also think he’s going to meet a scientist that’s going to look a [...]
