Does anyone on the forum watch the show "The Unit".

It's an entertaining show. I like it.

I like it too, but it's on when I have class so I don't get to see it much. The book that it was originally based on, "Inside Delta Force: The Story of America's Elite Counterterrorist Unit" by Eric Haney, is a must-read.

Agree,good book.

I dig it. I'd like it even better if they would cut out all of the personal home-life crap. The new intro with them in suits irritates me a little. I know alot of their work is under cover, but it's just much more fun to look at them all geared up :)

The show would be perfect if they'd drop the family drama. The missions are much more interesting! I do like the show however!

I think 'family drama' is to incourage the female viewers to watch.

liquidenvy · 10-28-2007, 08:56 PM

*rolls eyes*
The only woman I don't want to smack around on that show is Jonas' wife. Her head's in the right place.

In the attempt to encourage female watchers, they're polluting Heroes with idiotic, irrelevant, and heavy-handed romance subplots. I know Heroes has nothing in common with The Unit, but I really like it, so I thought I'd stick this in here ;)

Mike Brewer · 10-29-2007, 07:38 AM

A woman like Jonas' wife would be truly hard to find in the real world, though. It took me a lot of wrong ones before I found one like her, and I know a lot more people who get it wrong than who get it right. People get hung up on the wrong things, I guess.

I like the show, but I have to confess I haven't seen any episodes except the season opener this season. For some reason, I keep getting sidetracked when it's on, and I haven't thought to TiVo it yet! Screw it. I'm going to go do that right now.

Being with the wrong gal is usually self-correcting - or atleast it has been for me lol.

Same as re things like 24.

I don't like soap operas. I do like seeing people shootin' and a snarlin'!

I gotta tell you, I am happy about one aspect of the family drama nonsense. I'm glad they ended the last episode with the Colonel getting busted screwing around with Mack's wife. That was an interesting if a little disgusting sub-plot; in a unit like that one, having the Commander screwing around with one of the men's wives? I kept thinking all of the first season that the dude needed a serious comeuppance. Looks like that may happen.

I like the show, especially the irratating and HOT singer that was on the last show.

liquidenvy · 11-02-2007, 04:48 PM

I didn't see the first season, so I'm really divided about the Colonel. I thought it was awesome how he stuck by his men and played his bitchy-evil-wife. But that was kind of negated by his history with the resident psycho-whore, also known as Mack's wife. Look at all this drama. Jeez.
*sighs
I just want them to get on with business.
