"Comment on every article, blog, interview, everything. Create such a buzz that it won't matter where we end up !!" -Michael Cudlitz

This is not just about a "just another cancelled TV show"; it’s all about saving scripted TV and all of the jobs that are being lost to reality TV. The actors, writers, stagehands, etc… Potentially thousands of lives effected besides the fans when a show like this is cancelled and replaced by a network to show the same old thing night after night. It’s time to rise up and take a stand!

Media Reaction To Southland Cancellation – Part 2

Actress Holly Robinson Peete joked that Regina King, who plays Lydia on the recently canceled Southland series, on should tweet more. That’s encouraging for fans of the series. Celebrity support is always a plus. That little tidbit aside, here is around short round-up of coverage about the show’s cancelation.

The blog Rangefirst has a nice little piece about this. The opening shot is particularly funny to me:

NBC is kinda pathetic these days. OK, they’ve managed to revitalize their Thursday comedy block for the first time since Seinfeld shut down. But other than that, they epitomise the rapid demise of broadcast TV.

Actor Michael Cudlitz, who plays John Cooper on the show, gave an interview with EW’s Michael Ausiello of The Ausiello files. Cudlitz with the news of this cancellation has been the most vocal and outspoken of the cast about the network’s poor handling of the show. A nice little highlight is here:

Are you angry?
CUDLITZ: I’m pissed. I’ve said it on my Twitter account. I’m pissed off. We had all the pre-season stuff, all the dinners and parties. They told us they loved and believed in the show. They said the [delay] would be good for us. On paper it all made sense so I was willing to believe I was being told the truth… I don’t just walk in one day and go, “Eh, I’m not going to act today. I know I told you I was going to act, but I’m not going to do my thing.” But I guess because they own the ball and the ballpark they get to do that. It’s kind of cheap.

If you are on Facebook, you can go to a group for the show. There is also a fan page.

That’s all for now. Remember, if you are on twitter to follow the @savesouthland page and use the hashtags #savesouthland and #southland.
