SOUTHLAND is well-written, superbly acted and utterly compelling. Saving SOUTHLAND is saving the dying art of scripted television. It was TOP on my list of the shows I was looking forward to this fall. Let’s hope there’s at least ONE TV Executive out there with the good sense to put this show back on the air where it belongs.

While I feel for all associated with SouthLAnd, I am also certain that their work will be recognized by being picked up on another network [come on, TNT!], hopefully very soon. NBC’s reported complaints about the show being ‘too dark’ don’t ring true. Law enforcement work involves dealing with the darker side of human nature, and Southland seemed to portray this realistically.

This show has great potential, with a quality cast portraying intriguing characters. I will miss getting to know them better, if no other network recognizes the significant and well-deserved interest Southland generated in a mere seven week spring season.

Now I watch only three shows on broadcast TV; none on NBC.

That’s not a bad idea, but I’d rather see them move Leno to the old folk’s farm where all of his viewers are already at.

Erik – you’re making NY look bad.

Just move Leno to 9:00PM and bring back the real NBC dramas.

The way NBC has treated Southland and it’s fans is disgusting. I will no longer be watching anything on NBC. Southland is a wonderful show, I just hope it can find a home somewhere else.

First … it was Life, then Kings, now Southland. All three of those shows were well-made, intelligent and thought-provoking, and what does NBC do?

Dump them to air Jay Leno five hours a week.

This is total crap, folks, and I’m off to write a few polite, but firm letters. Since these people in Hollywood — in a sense — work for us, it’s time we let them know that we’re not going to waste our hard-earned money on the junk they decide to put on TV, while dumping shows which respect the fact that we have intelligence.
