Culture: Jay Leno: Enemy of “Southland” and other good dramas on NBC?
- I’m disappointed that NBC no longer has the time periods available to support the kind of critically-acclaimed series that was for so many years, a hallmark of their success.
- “Southland” executive producer John Wells • On the cancellation of his show before a single episode of its second season had aired. Wells, who also produced “ER,” was screwed over by Jay Leno’s monopoly on most of the the good drama time slots. NBC may have just done permanent damage to its reputation with the Jay Leno experiment. • source
