inmyriadbitsHi guys! I'm here to tell you that you should all watch Southland tonight! *uses magical powers to make it so, Number One*
IDK if you missed my ridiculous amounts of love for it when I watched it over the summer, but I love it A LOT -- which is a quite a feat, considering that it was a mid-season replacement with only 7 episodes at that point.
The saddest thing to happen during fall premiere season was when NBC (in their infinite retarded version of wisdom that led to The Jay Leno Debacle) canceled the show without even airing the six episodes ordered and produced for the second season. MORONS.
But then, miracle of miracles! You know how when a show is wrongfully canceled, everyone secretly hopes another network will pick it up? And you also know how this never ever happens, except when you're Buffy? Well, TNT (in their actual wisdom, which leads to shows like Leverage and The Closer) picked up the show! I was so happy, I can't even tell you. I posted in ginormous letters of happiness, if that tells you anything. Also, I am more excited about this show coming back than I am about any of the other shows coming off hiatus this month (which incudes Leverage, Burn Notice, White Collar, Chuck, Psych, and many other shows I adore)
Anyway, it's re-premiering on TNT tonight and will run through all the aired AND unaired episodes. I've also been told they're including all the material that couldn't be aired on a broadcast network (which I hope includes all the cursing :D), so even if you saw it before, it's well worth watching again.
And then TNT might pick it up for reals if it does well! So please, do me and you a favor and watch, okay? It makes me really happy.
(Actualfax pimp post to follow, with pictorial evidence of hotness and character details and all kinds of stuff about how even the producers are awesome, but that will take time and I wanted to get this out now. :D But you can be assured that I have a lot of supporting evidence! I was a film major, okay? It's What I Do.)

Date: 2010-01-13 06:25 am (UTC)Short version: last fall, NBC decided to move Jay Leno from late night to prime time (10pm) every day because they wanted to make more money; the show is cheaper to produce than scripted dramas. Everyone with a brain (i.e., not a network exec) thought this was a terrible plan, especially since NBC was shoving good shows like Southland overboard in the name of their Genius Plan. The season went forward, the Jay Leno Plan bombed spectacularly, and NBC is now conceding defeat and moving Leno back to late night. It's making all the scripted drama people (like me) feel awfully smug. :D
