| Elite Fan   | Guys. don't get your hopes up. all of the latest reports are based on the THR article that only says that the talks between JW and TNT are advancing, nothing more. It's actually pretty rare that a show move from one network to another after getting cancelled. I want this to be true as much as you do, but we need to stay realistic. Like the song says; "Hoping for the best but expecting the worst" --ETA-- http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/10/14/ask...s-csi-and-more/ Question: If Southland’s sixth episode ends up being its last, will we get any closure (assuming the episode ever airs)? —James Ausiello: Yes and no. It’s a self-contained ep, so the procedural element will be wrapped up. But there won’t be any big-picture closure — although Michael Cudlitz hints that the final scene contains “a little Easter egg for people who have followed the show and my storyline.” Moviehole.

  It's just so incredibly sad that a show with such a strong fanbase -- which includes the usually negative CRITICS -- could very well be off the air permanently due to the morons over at NBC and their thwarted loyalty to a show (Leno) that is tanking. BLAH on NBC...They should be embarrassed about this decision!  I really love Southland -- and that's saying a lot, because I watch very few scripted dramas these days. The comment about Ben's "Southland" cracked me up, too -- AND made me BLUSH!!!  Men are so naive to believe that women's minds are not dirtier than theirs! | |||

| Elite Fan | ^Yeah, I want to see it too. Ester's Weekly 'Wrap': Lesbian Kisses & 'Southland' Ester's Weekly 'Wrap': Lesbian Kisses & 'Southland' | The Wrap Catch up on all the top schmooze, as Ester gives her own outrageous take on the week at TheWrap. In this episode: "Heroes" uses a lesbian kiss to boost ratings (yeah, get the midwestern boys all hot and bothered), "Where the Wild Things Are" (if your kids are scared of giant hairy things, don't let them watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"), Cellphone Maria (what, she and Arnold can't afford a cheap headset from Fry's?) and "Southland" canceled for being too gritty (it's filmed in South-Central ... what were they expecting, Mr. Rogers' friggin' neighborhood!). So sit your tookus down and watch ... 'Southland' snub signal surrender? 'Southland' snub signal surrender? - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety NBC's decision to cut cop drama irks creatives As much grief as it got for launching "The Jay Leno Show" in primetime, NBC's recent cancellation of "Southland" seemed to wave an even bigger white flag for the Peacock's status as a broadcast network of import. Though decidedly unpopular with many in TV's creative community, NBC's bet on "Leno" could be easily chalked up as the best offense being a good defense: Leno posed a threat to NBC if he left for another network, while keeping him in a cost-efficient program freed funds for NBC to rebuild its scripted slate. In contrast, the axing of cop drama "Southland" appears to be a more overt retreat. NBC pulled the plug on the John Wells Prods. drama amid circumstances that leave many observers scratching their heads. For starters, "Southland" was the best-reviewed and highest-rated freshman series in 2008-09 on a network that has been starved for fresh hits. Further, instead of keeping other networks from using an NBC-developed asset, as was the case with Leno, the axing invites rivals to take the product and run, as CBS did earlier this year with "Medium." The cut also potentially angers Wells, a TV powerhouse whose "ER" was a linchpin of more successful times at the Peacock net, and feeds -- if not confirms -- the perception that NBC is one of the last places you'd want to take a drama of note. Perhaps what's most shocking about "Southland" heading south is NBC's apparent intention not to air any of the episodes it ordered just in May. The skein was in production on its sixth when NBC turned out the lights. The ratings of "Southland" did taper off during its initial springtime run, and had NBC decided not to renew the series then, justification would have been easy and relatively painless. Same thing if the show returned this fall to even softer numbers after multiple episodes had run. Instead, NBC pulled the show 15 days before "Southland's" season premiere in what appears at least in part to be a bid simply to save the licensing fee the Peacock would have had to pay Warner Bros. Some observers have said NBC realized (perhaps better late than never) that "Southland" was too darkly themed to air at 9 p.m. But it's not a very strong argument in an era when crime, violence and death regularly populate that timeslot -- particularly from a network whose "Friends" played a leading role in putting one of the final nails in the coffin of the 8 p.m. "family hour" last decade. But even if NBC were correct about "Southland" being too grim, the network still must contend with the perception of some producers who see the network as being at a nadir of creative vision. The network will still be a port in the recessionary storm for some new projects, but for creators that have their pick of outlets, NBC figures to be the port of last resort. NBC no longer aspires to be the network of "Hill Street Blues" -- that much is clear. Nor does it aspire to be an AMC, FX or TNT, networks that don't saturate the smallscreen with original series but clearly aim high when they do greenlight such fare. But its aspirations of late seem to be a muddle even to those who seek to do business with the Peacock. Survival simply for the sake of survival doesn't make for much of a vision. __________________ Icon:Hayat If you pursue the pop-culture thing and indulge yourself in it, go to all the events and get yourself on the cover of Us Weekly every week, that fame is fleeting,It's not a road you can navigate for a long time.

| Elite Fan | Not really news but; This comment was posted on one of the articles on Southland: Will TNT pick-up the NBC dropped "Southland"? NBC HATER says: News Flash. TNT wants Southland but NBC is holding it hostage!! The Idiots at NBC want more than they paid for the show to keep TNT from getting the show. They won't "Sell" it back to Warner Brothers. Looks like Jay Leno is mad at John Wells for his statement so NBC is siding with him. F*&^% NBC and Jay. ^If that's true my hate for NBC has gone to a new level right now! __________________ Icon:Hayat If you pursue the pop-culture thing and indulge yourself in it, go to all the events and get yourself on the cover of Us Weekly every week, that fame is fleeting,It's not a road you can navigate for a long time.
