Does The Shield rate up their with Third Watch and stuff?

Rampart or Shield? Hmm?

Did you know that originally before the series The Shield aired on FX, it was going to called Rampart? Shortly before airing, the name was changed due to the fact that outside of the L.A. community, no one really knew what Rampart meant thus naming it The Shield. Why this name for America's newest smash? Simple. Police officers carry shields, and their job is to shield the community against those who break the law.
