Crap

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

NBC is *so* stupid.

They should write a book: "How to destroy a TV network with just one show".

one show on 5 nights a week.. but yeah. Although their production costs are down!

In a key primetime slot! It's probably a good thing production costs are down, because I doubt the advertisers are lining up, right now.

It is one of those things I wonder about. Their avg age of viewer has gone up 2 years and is in the mid-40s if I remember (ideal is 18-35) and number are down.

So if it costs half as much to make you're saving $$ in the short run, but aren't you losing ad money? And will continue to lose it as the numbers drop further?
