Really excited they brought Brian back on Family Guy. I wonder if that was the plan all along or in response to the backlash? Seth McFarlane says:

I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be [expletive] high.

Seems as if it was a planned story arc.

I started and finished The Shield the last few months.

-Loved season 4 and was VERY impressed with the last 3-4 episodes of the whole series.

-It kind of lost its way a little in seasons 5 and especially 6

-1 through 3 were generally pretty good

-Looking through GRB, I see where ghost was kind of busting its chops for Vic Mackey's ridiculous ability to get out of huge administrative jams, and I think that's a totally fair assessment.

-Overall, I'd put it somewhere around Justified, Six Feet Under, or Mad Men for overall quality.

-It was actually kind of refreshing to have an anti-hero that was so horrible that I didn't pull for him. Walter White, Tony Soprano, Don Draper... we're supposed to like all of those guys despite their horrible crimes and misdeeds. Vic Mackey, on the other hand, was just rotten to the core. I don't think the intent was ever to have the audience pull for him.

Yeah it was almost Dexter-like in that respect at times.

I think I went up through season 4. Supposedly the finale is one of the best ever, so i keep thinking I'll pick it back up at some point.

That character was far and away my least favorite on the show. And the actor is horrible, too. He's so wooden.

Come to think of it, that same actor is one of the reasons I didn't like Saw that much.

Oh - he means Chiklis. The Commish was his old show.
