['Sons of Anarchy' - 'Fruit for the Crows']

FX sends out episodes of 'Sons of Anarchy' in advance, which makes life easier for those of us who write about the show on a weekly basis.

This week, the network sent out a DVD containing 'Fruit for the Crows' and next week's episode as well, and it took a generous helping of self-control not to watch the Oct. 25 episode as soon as the credits rolled on this week's outing. Even though I was dying to see what happened next, I wrote this review without knowing. It's killing me a little bit.

FX has ordered a fifth season of 'Sons of Anarchy,' which is currently in the middle of its fourth season on the cable network.

The news comes as no surprise: According to FX, the show's fourth-season premiere was the most-watched program in the network's history, with 6.5 million viewers tuning in. The biker chronicle is the channel's biggest hit.

"Everyone at FX is very grateful to Kurt Sutter, his many writing, directing and producing collaborators and his masterful cast for making such a compelling and beautifully crafted show," FX president and general manager John Landgraf said in a statement.
