TNT Talks for NBC Show Indicates Wait-and-See Attitude for Producing New Episodes L.A. Times

Although TNT appears poised to pick up a show now orphaned by NBC,  the deal being discussed doesn’t include new production--at least initially, reports the Los Angeles Times.

The show, John Wells' police drama "Southland," would likely have 13 episodes going to TNT:  the seven episodes that ran on NBC last spring and six new episodes that were shot for the network to air this fall. TNT will wait to see how the show performs before putting it back in production for new episodes.
