TNT wants Southland, but NBC sucks

[bigdaddy]

The non-news is a few days old, but you can never have enough topics about what the fuck NBC is doing.

When NBC canceled Southland before the second season even had a chance to debut, online fans went into "Save Southland" mode. They went on Twitter, wrote letters to NBC and Warner Brothers, and tried to get the network to reconsider their decision, Jericho-style. Well, NBC is still not going to air the show, but Nikki Finke is reporting that TNT is going to pick up the show and start airing the first season as early as next week.

But she says that the deal isn't set yet because TNT and NBC can't come to terms on money (of course). In fact, an insider tells Finke that the "behavior from NBC has been unbelievable and amazingly fucked up - even for them - which is saying something".

Of course, there's no word yet on whether TNT will simply buy the first season's worth of episodes and whatever they filmed for the second season or if TNT will actually produce more new episodes.

Maybe this is why NBC canceled it, they realized they can get more money out of a decent network (I just said TNT is a decent network, and NBC isn't... I'm in bizarro land.), and they will fuck around so much that no one ever gets to see the 6 episodes that are made!

Comcast is the only hope for NBC... pathetic...
