I loved this show. I lived to watch this show every week. It had action, compassion, love, hate, thrills, you name it. Why was this show taken off the air? My god. They leave the soap operas on for years and years and then you get a wonderful show like this and they take it off. I don't understand. There was never a dull moment on this show. Always something going on. I sure wish they would start it up again. It would be sooooo great. I always wanted Bosco to hook up with Faith. Now that would have been so great. They had a chemistry going. That let me down when they did not at least kiss. You know they wanted to...haha Sad in Louisiana, Linda

I guess the people who don't watch the usual soap operas and talk shows watch this to make them feel better about themselves. While before mentioned get off on moral issues, this one deals with criminals, with the actual law, let's get back to this one a bit later... Here there seem to be no innocent victims. Just the iron fist of justice. I guess the appeal here is we have no classy lawyers to justify their actions. Get the scumbag, arrest and question him, possibly with some of the usual police methods. And most of them seem pretty justified. Maybe until some lawyer gets the case and makes the closing speech...something like: well this guy did all this and that, but do his actions justify all the police brutality? NO! This guy was a victim. And therefore you should not find him as guilty. Well the thing here is: we don't see any of this things. All in all this pretty much sums up what's the deal with these soap police series. Here we have some non plus ultra representatives of the law catching bad guys (some of them have gone over the edge, but hey! what the hell, they are dealing with some disturbed individuals!) putting them behind bars and making look themselves as the contributing individuals to society. Maybe my strongest argument would be: What if we would put the cases from Third Watch into the hand of some lawyers from the Practice. Maybe even what if we would put the cops themselves into the hands of some fancy lawyers. Maybe I got a little off the way, if you are still keeping up... here is the real message of this show: The people who take care of the bad guys are the greatest heroes of them all, it doesn't matter if they are just fighting against the consequences of the regime that is the cause of all these things. On the side note, the whole acting, directing. sometimes it just makes me laugh. But that is the least of the problems of this charade.

Hi all, I am located in Sydney Australia, Third watch airs really late at night here so I have missed most of the episodes from Day 1, sometimes they didn't even air some of the seasons, this is frustrating because episodes I did watch I loved.I have attempted to download from the bit torrent sites but gosh it is going to take absolutely months. It seems to be really slow despite my having 512 adsl speed. I was wondering if anyone out there has "blank discs" that can be played in a multi zone DVD player that have been pre labelled Third Watch Season 1 through to Season 6. I would be happy to generously compensate for postage fees. Please contact me via email [email protected] Thankyou and Regards Tracy

As we all know "Third Watch" ended last Friday May 6th, and its a real pity because I doubt if any show in the near future can replace it or come close. I happen to catch this show purely by accident in the 4th season by just channel surfing and I had never even heard of it before but I got very interested to tape it every week. I rarely see a show with such a large cast that their characters gets equal time and so much into their lives. "Third Watch" was truly an exceptional show that went under the radar for number of years and I was always surprised it didn't get the credit or exposure like other crap on NBC like "ER". The best aspect of the show was its character development, regardless of the cops and robbers stuff or the Fire fighters; it delve into these people's lives and characters like "Faith Yokas", "John 'Sully', and my favorite of all " 'Bosco". These characters were so believable that I know anyone who watched this show could say: hey, I know someone like that. One has to acknowledge the writers of this show and the labor of love went into each episode that not only dealt with a subject but people's daily lives and their problems. This last season when Yokas become a detective and went through a divorce it really was great change; she became good at what she did and even surprised Bosco. There was also another great character 'Doc' played by Micheal Beach and after his wife left he did become sad and bitter and each episode show that change but it was subtle and yet visible; Beach is superb actor.There is so much more I can say about this show but most of all I know I will miss those characters. I watched the last episode twice and it was sad and yet so much like close to what was expected of those characters. I think if I was to pick out the best scene it would be when "Cruz" and "Bosco" were sitting in the car to make that big bust and that conversation and their interaction especially Cruz played by Tia Texada (who was brilliant) and her farewell kiss to Bosco, which was unexpected surprise and yet so beautiful; you could almost see that Bosco still cared for her was realizing that she is not coming back. It those kind of small scenes like that which made this show so outstanding and again its sad to see this show came to an end in just 6 seasons. Sully's voice over for the ending showing the changes that occur for each of the characters was great; one in particular with 'Ty' and "Finney" who their fathers were bitter enemies and now their sons became great partners, also ending with Bosco jumping over a car chasing someone.If any of the cast,writers, Directors, producers ever read this I just want to say thank you for your great work and I wish all the best in all your future projects.Peace Tony Nejad
