Cop This! ☛ The Shield: The Complete Series Collection DVD

The Shield was a trailblazing cop show that aired on the FX Network from March 12, 2002 until November 25, 2008.

The series' excellent writing, unrelenting violence and unpredictable story arcs made the show a must-see every Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET.

Emmy-winner Michael Chiklis played the shiny dome, kick-ass cop Vic Mackey -- a guy you love to hate . . . and you hate to love. One day, he's shaking down drug dealers for cash, and on another day, he carries out swift street justice to a neighborhood child molester by burning his face on a hot stove.

Simply put, The Shield is the GREATEST police drama of ALL-TIME. Period.

Now available on DVD, The Shield: Complete Series Collection is a 29-disc anthology, which boasts all seven seasons -- 88 episodes -- of the groundbreaking cop drama. The collection also features a 34-page tribute book, a letter from series creator Shawn Ryan, and extras like deleted scenes, several "Making-of" documentaries and a slew of bonus footage.

If you love The Wire, you will certainly appreciate The Shield.

Trust me . . . COP THIS NOW!

Charlie Murphy's hilarious true story of when he recieved a princely ass-whuppin' in a game of basketball by Prince will probably go down in history as the Best TV Comedy Sketch of All Time. Dave Chappelle's performance as Prince is comedy gold; simply brilliant.

And five years later after it aired on the trailblazing Dave Chappelle Show, it's still a laugh riot.

Some have wondered if Prince can really play basketball?

Well, I talked to a reliable source in Minneapolis and the answer is yes! -- Prince did play basketball. In fact, Prince, for a short time, was on the basketball team at Central High School in Minneapolis.

Now don't get it twisted: Prince wasn't no Charles Barkley on the hardwood floor as Charlie Murphy (aka "Darkness") exaggerates in his story, but Prince had game.

{MEMORABLE QUOTES}

Charlie Murphy: [sweating] Prince, you got towel, man? It's kinda hot out here, man.

Prince: Why don't you purified yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

[After finishing the game with Prince winning in a landslide victory, the purple one served up some pancakes.]

Charlie: I gotta admit, um, it was a good game.

Prince: I wish I can say the same for you, and your crew of flunkies. Do you guys want some grapes . . . bitches.
