'Southland' Rescued By TNT

Share




As fans of the NBC series, Southland, we are happy to report that the show will, in fact, go on! TNT has picked up the Los Angeles-based crime drama, which was dropped by the network after finishing its first season.

The six episodes already shot for the second season will air on TNT, and the cable channel has also obtained exclusive rights to the seven episodes from the series' first season. So for fans looking for more Southland, the show will be airing on TNT Tuesdays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), with the first episode of the series debuting on Jan. 12.

But then again, we had a feeling this would happen.

NBC Officially Sucks, Cancels 'Southland' Before Season Premiere

Share




WTF is up with NBC? Southland which was set to debut on Fridays last month, but then was pushed back to debut October 23rd, has now been cancelled. Six full episodes have been produced.

No reason as to why NBC cancelled the show, other than the programing department being complete idiots, I have a feeling it all came down to money. NBC is fucking cheap.

Guess what they'll be airing instead of Southland, Dateline.

Southland, which starred Benjamin McKenzie, and was produced by John Wells, could still see the light of day. Wells released a statement about the cancellation.

"I'm disappointed that NBC no longer has the time periods available to support the kind of critically acclaimed series that was for so many years a hallmark of their success. We remain extremely proud of Southland, and are actively looking for another home for the series."

TNT sounds like the perfect network to me.

NBC Talks Fall Season Line Up

Share




NBC was once home of the best shows on television, but in recent years it has kinda fallen to the wayside. But have no fear peacock loving friends, NBC was at the Television Critics Association panel to talk about their fall season and it sounds fabulous! Even if they are faltering, they still try and turn out some quality show. E! was on hand to bring us the big news from Chuck, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, Southland and Top Chef: Las Vegas.

What can we expect from Chuck? While the show only has 13 scheduled episodes that start airing in March, NBC is considering a longer season with an additional nine episodes so that Chuck will bleed into the summer programming. Nine more episodes with the amazingly adorable Zachary Levi? I'm in!

What can we expect from Heroes: Bryan Fuller may have officially left the show, but apparently that's not going to affect anything according to NBC. Bryan is busy working on creating new shows, and Heroes is still busy trying to confuse us all.

What can we expect from Friday Night Lights: That one is going to premiere in the summer when there is less television to watch. It's so upsetting when fantastic shows just don't get the recognition from fans that they deserve.

What can we expect from Southland: NBC says the show is getting some "creative adjustments" so it focuses more on Regina King and Ben McKenzie as well as the crimes they are working on. More Ben is more better.

What can we expect from Top Chef: Las Vegas: We can expect the best show ever! The competition is getting even hotter with challenges like making an entirely vegetarian dish, sustainable fish and even more awesome stuff now that they are in Vegas. OK, I admit it, I'm most excited about this show. You too? Awesome!

Well, there you have it. Enjoy getting excited over these shows, but then calm back down because you're going to have to wait at least another month to watch them.

'Southland' Lives To Fight Crime Another Day

Share



The Los Angeles-based cop drama hoping to replace the scheduling hole left by ER has recently discovered that it will be returning for a second season. NBC has ordered 13 episodes of the series, starring young hottie Benjamin McKenzie.

Ben's all grown up these days, having graduated from the hard knock tween existence on The O.C. into the role of Office Ben Sherman.

For whatever reason, I just can't get enough of crime dramas lately. I'm still a little sad that FOX has yet to produce the police show I'm most dying to see, which is Hot Cops, as a spinoff from Arrested Development that I just no conceived in my head. Isn't it the best when instinct kicks in?

Benjamin McKenzie's Cop Show 'Southland' Replaces 'ER'

Share




Well hello there, Officer Young N. Brooding.

O.C. star Benjamin McKenzie is all grown up and enforcing the law and stuff. His new show, Southland, has the tween starring as a police officer and the series will be taking the place of longtime series ER.

The drama will focus on a police unit in downtown Los Angeles, specifically centering on McKenzie's character. And yes, it will be a gritty crime drama, but we're guessing there will be plenty of opportunity for Benjamin to get all TV heartthrob on us.

Mickey Rourke Has Wrestled Himself Back Into An Acting Career

Share




Look at me and my punny title. But seriously, Mickey Rourke's had a rough couple of decades and even though we might tease him for looking deranged and sexually confused, we really are rooting for the guy, whose critically acclaimed film The Wrestler just premiered in Los Angeles with real fake wrestler Roddy Piper in attendance.

I got to feeling nostalgic and went on YouTube to see old clips of Mickey from back when he was young and frisky and holy hell, he was hot. Definitely shady in a "you really should head straight to the free clinic immediately after we do it" sort of way, but still, he had his charms and I'm hoping this awards season treats him well.

Marissa Tomei was rocking a hot electric blue dress, looking gorgeous. She apparently plays a stripper in the film and the last thing I need is to be taking my boyfriend to see a movie where she's working the pole. I bet she's a regular at those damn S-Factor classes that I wish had never been invented. Still, I might have to go check this joint out. The trailer looks good.

Featured in the gallery: Mickey Rourke, Evan Rachel Wood, Jared Leto, Darren Aronofsky, Darius McCary, Roddy Piper, 50 Cent, Ciara Marisa Tomei, Edie McClurg, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamilin, Maggie Grace, Benjamin McKenzie, Bai Ling, Rachel Weisz, Jimmy Jean Louis and Chazz Palminteri.
