Return of ‘The Shield’: Summer debut unlikely

Fans of The Shield will have to wait a little longer to see whether Vic Mackey self-destructs in the show’s last season, its seventh… FX doesn’t appear to be in any hurry to air them before fall — at the earliest. Running the show opposite the Summer Olympics seems to be FX’s biggest concern.  “[Frankly, we Don’t give a shit that it has already been AN ENTIRE YEAR since last season ended],”admits creator/executive producer Shawn Ryan. “I wish fans [would go fuck themselves, because my checks have already cleared and] I gotta be a team player,” he says.
