Boo
So NBC canceled 'Southland' before it even aired.
NBC has announced that it has cancelled Southland before even a single episode of Season 2 aired in the show's terrible new Friday timeslot. Apparently the show was just too dark for the network to air at 9 PM, though that wouldn't have been a problem if there wasn't a giant chin taking up the 10 PM slot five nights a week. And could it really have been so much darker Season 1? Wasn't it pretty gritty and profanity-filled from the get-go? The only remotely encouraging news coming out of this is that John Wells (who executive produces and runs the show's production company) says that they are shopping around for a new home for this engagingly realistic cop drama.

While I only watched like three episodes, I think it's a show that had a lot of potential and I liked seeing Ben Mackenzie again on my TV. And in a cop uniform to boot. Hopefully some other network will pick it up.
