Military/War
When several dirty bombs are found on American soil, The Unit is deployed to find and diffuse. On the home front, the wives prepare for a wedding and a possible divorce.
The Unit conducts clandestine and covert operations for the US Government and the US Army around the globe. The Unit operates under the cover of the 303rd Logistical Studies Group. Carrying the operators through battle is the knowledge that while they are out in the field, their wives help maintain… More their lives back home. They protect their identities, ensuring that their secrets are kept safe from those who would use this knowledge against them. Loosely based upon Eric L. Haney's novel Inside Delta Force , the show is based upon the exploits of the US Army's 'Delta Force', otherwise known as The Unit.
i don't want to get people's hopes up in case it doesn't happen, but i live in vancouver canada, and the unit was filmed here. and i've been seeing sign boards and even some of the cast filming for the unit recently...just saying. might be good news!
I hate to post this message and was hoping not to have to do it. The Unit has been officially canceled by CBS. Here are the links: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=05/19/09&id=8115 http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/05/breaking-nbc--1.html
Throughout the day my emotions have ranged from hope, sadness, grief, shock and anger. But I would like to take this moment to say thank you to the finest cast and crew, including DemoreBarnes whose work I have ever enjoyed. Through the last four seasons and 69 episodes I have watched your vision,… More which has brought me joy, laughter, love and yes sometimes anger. Each week was a delight to sit through and I thank you for sharing your gifts with me and the millions of other fans. Good luck in all that you do from this point forward but know that your work was appreciated and respected. My love and support to you in these uncertain times and each time I play one of my DVDs I will always think of you, those of you both on and off the camera. Dennis H brought me to The Unit but it was ALL of you that kept me here. Love ~~Nyn
Great show bringing new content to the tv landscape with subject matter not popular for the time. hide show
Great show bringing new content to the tv landscape with subject matter not popular for the time. The beauty of this show was it's ability to give us characters we could relate to and cheer for. Even for those unfamiliar with the subject matter could enjoy the depth of the stories and become immersed in the characters plights. Politics didn't play into the show unless you wanted them to. The show although about the military didn't go out of it's way to present pro-war propaganda that was at it's peak during the shows conception. This was simply a good show with engrossing stories that just so happen to revolve around the military and one of it's top units. The show took a turn to some peoples dismay. Introducing a woman into the unit which is not true to real life and changing the theme song to something more accessible. However for the true fans these were television conceits that had to be made to give us more of what we wanted which was more of The Unit. Good show with a large fan base despite whatever nonsense went into CBS's decision but for the fans who supported this show no explanation will ever justify this shows abrupt end.
Bring back the Unit!! CBS made a huge mistake cancelling the Unit. The decision makers of programing really missed an opportunity to continue a show that reflected the integrity of our armed service men and women...God, country, the "Unit", family thats what the Unit projected to faithful viewers. The Unit was a show with substance. The Unit showed the human side of military men and women, they are husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, etc. I have no desire to continue viewing CBS since the network will no doubt fill the time slot with lackluster programing. Bring back the Unit soon!
I can't believe that CBS canceled this show. This show is/was well writen,with great storylines and plot, and unbelievable actors who made you feel asthough they were real. It has to be one of CBS better shows so why was it canceled? It was great in the Sunday 10pm time slot after Cold Case. Now I am reduced to watching reruns on BET which is a network I have never watched. I think it is stupid CBS would cancel this show and not cancel their other shows that were terrible or atleast had poor rating. Will another network pick it up? I hope so..
It was the best, most sophisticated action/adventure/drama on TV, yet it got canned. Why? hide show
In what was and is an audiovisual wasteland of throwaway lines, lame plots, shallow characters and the ever-present liberal bias, The Unit was an oasis in a desert of mediocrity and hype.
I wondered why a successful show like The Unit would be canned when there are so many other worthwhile candidates for the deep-six. It had superb acting, writing and directing. They made excellent use of local sites to portray exotic places. Camera work was exceptional. It had an ensemble cast that flowed together like a good cocktail. But CBS tossed it anyway.
Then, it hit me; it had all the elements that the current maladministration is against. First, it highlighted the US military, when the President sees our troops as expendable assets wothwhile of nothing more than a 'great photo-op". It showcases the best of our best; intelligent soldiers who place the safety of our country above all else, even when it would affect their careers. It also showed the human side of military family life, but emphasized loyalty (even Molly's departure was left with a "find me" option).
To cap it off, I noticed that it was produced by News Corporation. I may be wrong, but isn't that also the parent company of Fox News? Need I say more?
I'd love to see this show resurrected, Even if only in a made-for-TV film, a miniseries, or a theater production film. Ah, hope springs eternal.
Unreal. This was a must watch show for my wife and I. We are in our 30's and loved the show. As the years have been going by great shows just don't seem to fit into the mold of the masses. And the networks follow the masses. It's like being at a casino everybody wants the jackpot. When a network sees another network hit one, bam! they dump quality and just throw everything they can into new shows and hope they get the next big one. Therefore very very few really good shows last. The attention span of the masses viewer is too short. Thus the rest of us that like quality starve when our shows get dumped. I've been upset about other shows, but this one really hurts. I loved it, turned other people on to it, and am really disappointed at CBS for again just doing what the big three do, trash can the good quality shows to chase the buck. I'd say bring it back, but they never read these posts. A show canned one day is as good as dead 20 years. Their already on to the next dollar.
