Question: Damn NBC and Leno!!! I really enjoyed Southland and have been eagerly awaiting its return. Any news on how likely it is Southland will be picked up by a cable network?—LizMatt Roush: With six episodes already in the can, I’d bet they’ll be seen somewhere. If not on NBC, then on a network that isn’t afraid to put adult content on the air (or that has 10/9c time periods available), which is why cable seems such a likely alternative. It’s a bit early for a deal this complicated to be worked out just yet, but John Wells seems determined to find a home for it. TNT seems the most likely option to many, given that Southland is a Warner Bros production and this would keep it in the corporate family, plus it fits the “We Know Drama” brand. And to be honest, the numbers for Southland this spring were so problematic that the only way it’s likely to look like a hit would be for it to air on a cable network. NBC’s renewal of this show was in some ways as puzzling and surprising as Fox’s pickup of Dollhouse, so keep that in mind and give Fox credit for at least giving that strange little fantasy a home for as long as it lasts.
