Southland Canceled - Ben Silverman Strikes Again
From the executive grave, Ben Silverman has struck again. Southland, the once promising (for one episode) gritty cop show has been canceled (before its season premiere!).Another day - another failed show. NBC is in big trouble. Mercy, Trauma, Heroes - all cancellations to come.
NBC had better start super-sizing episodes of The Office ASAP.
Also, maybe think about putting together a few hours of The Biggest Loser Outtakes. Are there any extra Law & Orders laying around? Somebody should get Dick Wolf on the phone. That might work for a week or two.
Hey, America's (Still) Got Talent - get the cameras rolling! Or just show re-runs of Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent. How about that sand artist from Ukraine's Got Talent? Something is bound to work. Right?
Thank God The Jay Leno Show only needs a 1.5 rating to make $300 million!
This has been an extremely challenging year for NBC so far - and it's only October 8th.

About Jill Kennedy
Jill Kennedy is an Ivy League MBA / refugee from Lehman Brothers.
Manka Bros. (and the Manka Business Channel) hired her (for a very low sum) to cover the world of media (not the world of Medea) in her own words without corporate interference.
About Medea
Medea was a real bitch from classical mythology - as most famously dramatized by Euripides.
She was a sorceress and wife of Jason, whom she assisted in obtaining the Golden Fleece. When Jason deserted her, she chopped up their children. One could say, Medea acted as rationally as a major media company.
Tips, Scoops and Smoking Guns
Geez... NBC is pathetic. It just gets worse and worse.
Yeah not so good. Broadcast in general is in big trouble. All the ABC comedies fell apart this past week. I would love to see that Ukraine sand artist every week. She's amazing!
I actually liked that show. Oh well. I'll take that hour back thank you very much.
