R.I.P. Terriers

Just thought I'd mention how depressed I am about the recent cancellation by the bonehead execs at FX of what I thought was the best new TV show of 2010, Terriers. The show had a breezy Rockford Files vibe, sharp writing, great acting and great chemistry between stars Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, who play scruffy unlicensed PI's turning up all kinds of trouble in picturesque Ocean Beach (San Diego), California.

That putrid shows like Dancing With the Stars continue to haul in massive ratings while the brilliance of Terriers, not to mention the recent L.A. cop show Southland, get the axe after one season is a crime against my sanity and intelligence. The final episodes of Rescue Me can't come soon enough!

Oh, and if, like me, you can't get the catchy Terriers theme song out of your head, you can get it from iTunes. It's called Gunfight Epiphany.

Edit 12-27-10: There's some rather confusing information available online, but I just saw a preview for a new Southland season on TNT beginning in January.
