List under.... WTF!!!


Just back from Boston and I hear that one of my favorite shows is
canned before it even starts it's 2nd season... All because F@#KING
Jay Leno and his 10pm slot

SouthLAnd Cancelled!!!

SouthLAnd has been canceled with production being shut down after
six episodes according to the Hollywood Reporter. NBC will continue
to air Dateline on Fridays at 9pm.

After screening the early episodes NBC found them “too dark and gritty”
for broadcast, particularly at 9pm.No word on when/if the six episodes
that were already filmed will air.

My question is WHY screw up good... No, GREAT TV with Leno and his
10pm all-encompassing Bull Shit show. Is NBC throwing in the towel
on adult TV? Nice job.

UPDATE:
SouthLAnd has an opportunity to be picked up by TNT. Talks are in negotiation
to bring the gritty crime drama to the network. TNT was an obvious choice as
it shares a corporate parent with Warner Bros. TV, which produces the critically
praised series with studio-based John Wells Prods.
