Usually when you hear the news about a show getting canceled, you either well up with tears or want to throw something very heavy at your television, hoping that this will somehow create a loop in time for the very thing that you love coming back on the air. However, we have to say that […]
Last year, there were three “CSI” shows battling in the scripted TV thunder-dome, with the New York and Las Vegas editions battling to stay alive. This year, we’re saddened to report that there is now another casualty to the enormously successful CBS franchise. We have confirmation now that “CSI: NY,” which had a pretty great […]
While TNT has ordered a pair of ambitious new series this year in “Legends” (starring “Game of Thrones” headless hand of the king Sean Bean) and “The Last Ship” (starring “Grey’s Anatomy” plane crash victim Eric Dane), the network as a whole has decided to send one of their best into the TV graveyard: “Southland.” […]
