An NBC drama has had its second season canceled even before it premiered.
The network didn’t say why it was canceling the John Wells cop series “Southland”, which was to have aired Fridays at 9 p.m. starting Oct. 23. But insiders said its dark tone was better suited to a 10 p.m. hour, which NBC no longer has because of its Jay Leno talk show.
Newsmagazine “Dateline” will air in the slot instead, leaving the network with another time slot without scripted programm
