Dark Blue got worst ratings so thats gonna be cancelled too.
Raising the Bar won’t be missed, either.
rob, I’m not so sure, RTB had the benefit (at least sometimes) of the huge lead-in from The Closer. Dark Blue had Leverage (which has been renewed already) as its lead in.
That said, I don’t love Dark Blue’s chances, but I’m not certain of its fate!
soon i will be wathcing movies insted of tv shows
never liked it mark paul gosselaar is fine but the show sucked bye the bar is closed yesssssssss
Mark cut his hair, the curse of the long locks
More out of work actors merry Christmas from TNT
These actors have been out of work for months already. It’s not like they get paychecks while production is shut down.
Not surprised as the ratings were alright but considering it aired after The Closer it should done better. I think Dark Blue is next for cancellation which leaves only HawthoRNe and Leverage, I guess that Men of a Certain is a wait and see if it can pull in ratings without The Closer lead in and they have to decide what show gets series orders and only Rizolli and Delta Blues have pilots to be shot.
The show was painfully boring. I’ve heard more engaging readings of cereal box ingredients than the majority of that crew’s closing arguments. It won’t be missed.
I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. RTB consistently lost half the viewers of The Closer’s lead. I know cable networks have different considerations than broadcast networks, but still, losing HALF the audience, TNT showed more than enough patience.
I noticed the other day that TNT is still airing reruns of Dark Blue, and advertising them, which may speak well for its chances.
While I’m not a fan of Dark Blue I do enjoy watching Jane Kaczmarek and J. August Richards so I hope they both find new shows soon. Hopefully new shows I will enjoy watching.
Oops I meant to say Raising the Bar not Dark Blue
Dark Blue’s chances grew slim once TNT took on Southland. I just don’t see anyway that TNT would support production of 3 dramas about the LAPD. Although ratings-wise it did retain most of Leverage’s audience.
Not surprised about Raising the Bar. Losing over 50% of The Closer’s audience week to week was the nail in the coffin.
This is suprising, I though Raising the Bar was a good series. But if Dark Blue hasnt been renewed by now, its dead.

I may be wrong, but I thought they were just airing southland, not producing new epis?
Chriszojo said what I was going to – I only endured the series (which was not good at all) for the actors. Hopefully now they can all go on to much much better projects.
Geez TNT can’t find a solid slate of shows… Trust Me, Saving Grace, Raising the Bar canceled… Dark Blue not looking good. The head of TNT said he thought six shows was a good number for the network… now they have
1. The Closer
2. Leverage
3. Southland (not in production)
4. Men of a Certain Age
5. Delta Blues (when is it airing)
6. Rizoli (when is it airing)
7. Hawthorne
8. Dark Blue
which ones will get the axe next
Terry:
TNT bought the 7 episodes from season 1 and the 6 produced from season 2. If the ratings are good, they will order another season.
What I’m saying is TNT has Southland (about the LAPD), The Closer (also about the LAPD) and it would be very weird to have a 3rd show (Dark Blue (also about the LAPD) in the mix.
