    I’ll express my annoyance, no problem! I was seriously looking forward to the 2nd season. I don’t get into Cop dramas and this was the one exception. VERE disappointing. NBC you suck for this!!

    Frankly NBC is trying to deal with the huge mess Silverman created and they’re making bad decisions. Leno is not winning his time slot. It doesn’t matter that it’s cheap to produce, it’s not quality programming. If NBC wants to be known as the crap channel they should keep this up.

    Southland is exactly the kinds of show this network needs, and they’re running scared from it. They have ho cohesive plan for the network and it shows.

    I hope Southland goes to TNT or FX, where they can handle gritty quality programming like this.

    i really hope Southland ends up on another network and SOON. It is an amazing show and closest thing to The Shield we have left. Maybe FX or some other cable network with balls will take it.

    THIS is exactly why I didn’t start watching Southland – because I didn’t trust the network to keep it around, and I’d be pissed off. ABC did this to me with Pushing Daisies, the CW did it with Veronica Mars, CBS does it with Jericho, and I’m not going to trust them with new shows. In fact, I don’t even watch ABC shows because I can’t trust that network. NBC really sucks this year, so I have no sympathy for them either. Too bad they destroyed what was possibly a decent show.

    Maybe NBC will have to admit we don’t need twenty thousand hours of boring talk shows once everyone stops watching.

    I’m really surprised to hear that Southland got cancelled, especially because it hasn’t even premiered this season yet so how do they know how it’s going to do. I thought it was doing pretty well in the ratings. I don’t even watch the show and I think it’s stupid they cancelled it lol.

    I love this show and was looking forward to its return. To say I was shocked and disappointed when word of the cancellation came out would be an understatement! NBC says the show is “too dark and gritty” for the 9pm slot but I don’t believe that… they are making a mistake with dumping this show and I hope some other network will pick it up.

    “Hopefully the Comcast deal goes through and some people with heads begin running the network.”

    Ha-ha-ha. Comcast may have heads, but they have no brains whatsoever.
