Race Moved Up for The Unit
Source: CBS
February 8, 2006


CBS has announced that The Unit, an action drama that follows a covert team of special forces operatives as they risk their lives on undercover missions around the globe while their wives maintain the homefront, protecting their husbands' secrets, premieres Tuesday, March 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The Amazing Race 9, which premieres with a two-hour broadcast on Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), will move to a new time period on Tuesday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), effective March 7.

The Unit stars Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Robert Patrick, Regina Taylor, Max Martini, Michael Irby, Demore Barnes, Abby Brammell and Audry Marie Anderson.

As head of the Unit, Jonas Blane (Haysbert) leads his team on missions out in the field and is responsible for taking elite new recruit Bob Brown (Foley) under his wing. The Unit includes Jonas, Colonel Tom Ryan (Patrick), Mack Gerhardt (Martini), Charles Grey (Irby), Hector Williams (Barnes) and Bob Brown, all highly skilled soldiers, whose ability to rely on each other in life-threatening situations creates their unique brotherhood. Jonas' wife, Molly (Taylor), is the base matriarch who comforts and counsels "the unit's" wives as they cope with the fear and uncertainty they experience when their husbands leave home. Molly and Tiffy Gerhardt (Brammell), a wife hiding her own dark secrets, help Bob's pregnant wife, Kim (Anderson), acclimate to the stress of her new secret life.

David Mamet (The Verdict, The Untouchables) and Shawn Ryan (The Shield) are executive producers for Twentieth Century Fox Television.

The summer derth of TV programming lead us to "The Unit". Now we are playing some catch up on this series. We're in the midst of the strike shortened season 3 at the moment.

"24" meets "Army Wives" is the best way to describe it.

Awesome show!

Is anyone else watching this?

Was one of my favorite shows, too bad CBS had to go and cancel it.

With the Unit being cancelled and both Monk & LOST going on their last season by this time next year all I'm going to have left is SVU, House and maybe 24. Hopefully some of those new series on USA & TNT will be interesting because the network line up is starting to look real weak.
