That gets you 698 minutes of action with Michael Chiklis, who has kept busy between seasons by filming his role as Ben Grimm/The Thing in the new big-screen version of Marvel Comics'
The Fantastic Four. Due to his filming schedule on that movie, the 4th season of
The Shield doesn't start airing on FX until March 2005. Because of that small delay, the 3rd Season box set hits the stores on
February 22nd. We'll have cover art for you as soon as we get it, so stay tuned.
