Love to watch how covert operations are carried out. Great show, too bad it didn't last longer. Adding the wives was such a plus. Loved how Tiffy Gerheart saved the colonel's wife from getting a ticket for DUI. The colonel should've been shot for sleeping with Tiffy Gerheart. I'd love to see it return to TV, maybe even a movie

One of the Best shows I've seen, & I'm not a war type TV watcher. Too bad Google is so complicated to buy it and share with Family group. My daughter bought it a year ago and we watched it together a lot until one day she couldn't get the show on again. Maybe during your maintenance period we didn't know anything about. Now she's fighting a Terminal illness, as a hard working single Mother she has 4 beautiful children she will leave behind and she wants so badly to watch it to take her mind off her terrible illness, but can't get it back on. Google, you have strange rules. Im sorry my daughter can't watch what she paid for to you, her good hard erned money has been waisted on a Google purchase!

This show is one of my top 10 of all time TV shows and guess what...CBS cancelled it the Morons...I haven't watched ANY CBS shows since it was cancelled...not even Letterman before he Retired...total boycott of that Network. Oh and I am in a Neilson Ratings Home...Yes I boycott anything to do with CBS.
