Southland: According to the Hollywood Reporter, TNT is considering picking up the John Wells drama Southland. Do it! Southland would go brilliantly with the network's existing slate of grown-up crime dramas like The Closer. The deal's not done yet though. A TNT rep tells us, "We continually look at all programming opportunities that fit our portfolio of brands." Keep your fingers and toes crossed!

Dollhouse: Despite Dollhouse's seemingly shaky future, Fox has revealed that it will produce and air all 13 ordered episodes of season two. Good network manners such as these must be rewarded and encouraged. Someone send these people cookies!

Chuck: The latest rumors about an early return for Chuck say that it all depends on the demise of Trauma. And now we're torn: Chuck is awesome, but Trauma is ER with exteriors, and it's not half bad. What say you?

What do you guys think of that Southland news? Would you follow the show to another network?
