‘Southland’ saved by TNT
As speculated, cable network TNT has picked up “Southland,” in a manner of speaking. The cop drama, starring Benjamin McKenzie (of Austin) was canceled by broadcast network NBC after six episodes of its second season were shot but before any of them had aired. TNT will run those episodes along with the 7 from its truncated first season; this will give new viewers a chance to jump in at the beginning.
Here’s your chance, “Southland” fans … TNT — already home to cop drama “Dark Blue” — will evaluate “Southland’s” ratings and decide whether or not to bring it back after these 13 episodes have aired.
The show will begin airing on TNT January 12 at 9 p.m., going head-to-head with NBC’s “Jay Leno Show.”
