NBC Cancels
SOUTHLAND!!

I am – Hercules!!

NBC has cancelled both “Southland” and plans to air “Southland” on Fridays this autumn.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

While "Southland" enjoyed support among NBC brass last season, after screening the finished episodes from the upcoming second season, the show's content was deemed too dark and gritty for broadcast TV, especially for 9 p.m. Additionally, a high-end drama like "Southland" is certainly far more expensive than newsmagazine "Dateline" for low-trafficked Friday night.

Six unaired second-season episodes are in the can. NBC is currently airing repeats of “Law & Order SVU” Saturdays at 10 p.m.
