than guys. Liked the idea of home front, but it's soap opera like & bought season 1 anticipating the wives as a back drop. It IS called "The Unit." Deleting it & won't be buying any more. Boring.

Shows CBS had. Why on earth did they have to cancel it ????? The Men in The Unit was one (Bunch of Sexy Rugged Men). Dirt Diver and Snake Doc were great. All of them did good with their character they played. Plus showed how the wives had to deal with them being gone. It was a Big STUPID mistake on there part to cancel it. Especially leaving the ending the way they did. But have All 4 seasons on DVD.
