NBC’s Southland, which premiered to solid numbers after ER went off the air last spring, has been axed even before its fall debut. Originally set to start on Fridays this September, NBC pushed its season opener to October 23rd, and though six new episodes of the series have been produced, it doesn’t look like audiences will be seeing them anytime soon. At least not on NBC.
No official word as to why it was canceled but it appears that they trust Dateline more in the ratings department.
