== Broadcast in Mexico ==
== Season 5 ==
This show is broadcast in Mexico by FOX channel in Cable and Satelite. It airs Mondays at 22:00, but I have no reference on when it premiered.

== Factual error ==
== External links modified ==
Just wanted to report one factual error I noticed in the show. I do not know if that could be incorporated into the article or not. In the Episode 10 of the Season 1, Jonas Blane (Dennis Haybert) tells the telephone operator that her original location where she is talking from is Peshawar, India. Peshawar is located in Pakistan not India. {{unsigned|Chewy81}}


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
== Link Correction ==
Changed 2 references to Special Forces to direct to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Army_Special_Forces as they are refering in that case to US Army Special Forces (Green Berets). I left one pointing to Special Forces as it is more a discussion about the missions and may be the more general use. --[[User:BenWoodruff|BenWoodruff]] 21:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


I have just added archive links to {{plural:2|one external link|2 external links}} on [[The Unit]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=699799664 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
== PDAs/cell phones ==

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.
What type of PDAs/cell phones do the members of The Unit generally use? Might be an interesting piece of trivia. Also, is anyone familiar with what that exact "ringtone" is? I can't say it reminds me of any other cell phone.

Grey and Williams are mid-level operators. They wouldn't have the same rank as Brown, a newbie to the Unit. Unless somebody has solid evidence I haven't seen proving that Williams and Grey aren't Sergeants First Class, I'm changing their rank to reflect their seniority to Brown. {{unsigned|24.174.190.247}}

Does the cast table really need to be stretched out and made hideously large with all the superfluous information regarding alternate callsigns of the operators? Having their widely used callsigns should be more than sufficient, and would streamline this section considerably.

[[User:Tomm007|Tomm007]] ([[User talk:Tomm007|talk]]) 19:03, 21 July 2016 (UTC)


I went ahead and made the changes, after no input for a few months. It certainly makes the cast table less cumbersome. If someone is keen on having the old info included, it might make more sense to add as notes under the table. Although those are also quite lengthy currently, with similar issues to the previous version of the cast table.

== Summary needs sources ==

Beginning with the second paragraph, the Summary section reads like a catalog of [[WP:OR|original research]], analysis and speculation. WP is not a Wikia fansite. We need sources for this information or it must come out of the article. The only cited sources support ratings, the cancellation announcement and the producers’ wishful thinking about what they might have done had the show not been canceled. Nothing else in the article is supported by citations. Adding a refimprove template.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on The Unit. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
