NBC cancels Ben McKenzie drama 'Southland' before its season premiere
NBC's "Southland," which premiered to solid numbers after "ER" went off the air last spring, has just been axed even before its fall debut.
Originally set to start on Fridays this September, NBC pushed its season opener to October 23rd, and though six new episodes of the series have been produced, it doesn't look like audiences will be seeing them anytime soon.
No official word as to why "Southland" has been canceled so prematurely, but rumor has it, the network feels "Dateline" -- which is now airing in what would have been the drama's time slot -- is more reliable and will deliver more consistent ratings.
The show, produced by John Wells and starring Ben McKenzie -- best known for his days in "The O.C." -- could still be picked up by a cable network though.
...ABC give full seasons to.....
.....(FYI - watched 'Modern Family' and it made me pee in my pants....twice....funny stuff - IMHO)
ABC orders full seasons of 'Modern Family,' 'Cougar Town' & 'The Middle'
Comedy is alive and well at ABC.
The network, better known in recent years for dramas such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost," launched four sitcoms this fall season and has just ordered the back nine episodes for three of them.
"Modern Family," "Cougar Town" & "The Middle" have performed consistently strong on Wednesday nights since their debuts three weeks ago.
Left out of the pick up party, however, is Kelsey Grammer's "Hank," which has had a tougher time gaining a solid audience, anchoring the night at 8 p.m.
