I am pleased, and surprised, by this announcement (the punctuation in the subject header may exaggerate my pleasure just a bit, but I thought it was aesthetically called for).
I was luke-warm on the show in its first mini-season with NBC, but it was already getting better, and it continued to improve with its new episodes on TNT. It is still not quite as good as it seems to think it is, but still better than a lot of TV dramas. ****************************** http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100427/tv_nm/us_southland LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – In a surprising move, TNT has renewed the former NBC cop drama "Southland" for a third season. The network has ordered 10 episodes of the critically acclaimed show, which will air starting next January. "Southland" has been a modest performer for the cable network, which picked up the series after NBC canceled the series right before the start of its second season. TNT said "Southland" gains about 50 percent more viewers via DVR time-shifting, which is above average. In live-plus-same-day ratings, the final episodes of the show averaged about 2.2 million viewers. The show averaged 2.7 million viewers for the season once seven-day DVR gains were added. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
