NBC, in all it’s brilliant glory, has decided to cancel “Southland” before it even began this fall. Sometimes I just shake my head, take a deep breath and count to ten. Why do TV executives make things so much more complicated than they have to be?
“Southland” was one of those shows I was pretty psyched to pick up again this fall. Call me crazy but I enjoy watching well written shows packed with good actors. The nerve of me!
It doesn’t help that I’ve been wondering for months about Tom Everett Scott’s Det. Russell Clarke lying on his neighbor’s doorstep bleeding out. The poor guy just reconciled with his wife, was trying to do the neighborly thing and got shot for his efforts.
Funny, that’s how I see my relationship with NBC right now. I’m lying on their doorstep with a gut wound wondering why I even bothered.
“Southland” producers are not happy with NBC’s decision and are shopping the show around to other networks. Rumor has it that TNT may be interested. It’d be nice if someone was smart enough to recognize this gem and give it a real chance.
I guess NBC is too worried with their bottom line that they no longer care about putting out quality products. Apparently, it’s cheaper for them to make “The Jay Leno Show” than it is to keep their viewers. I wonder if “Trauma” and “Mercy” wouldn’t do better in a 10 pm slot but why second guess the geniuses hard at work over at The Peacock.
I just hope they have a network left when they finally come to their senses.
