Crap

Southland's been canceled. It's unlikely any of this season's episodes will air.

NBC is *so* stupid.

I really hope their ratings continue to slide. John Wells (producer of Southland) is supposedly going to see if any cable networks will take it, but it's unlikely.

I'm very pissed at NBC at the moment.

If it weren't for the fact that they have Heroes and SVU I wouldn't watch them at all. And in fact, I tend not to watch SVU until it's replayed on USA in marathons. Not a show I need to catch every week.

But yeah, NBC are douchebags.

even worse they're dumb douchebags. Southland had actually done really well with that all important 18-35 male group that advertisers love.

And they still relegated it to the death spot? and then didn't even give it a chance there?

Assholes.

They'd pushed back the premiere to Oct 23rd because NBC claimed they didn't want it to start up against Dollhouse and SGU and some of the other highly hyped shows of this season and that way they could promo the heck out of it and it would stand out because it was starting later. They already have 6 episodes of this season in the can and were working on the 7th when the news of its cancellation was released with NO explanation whatsoever.
