Ben is Leno for Halloween

Just a couple cute, quick comments from Twitter by TheTVShowGirl:

 Fun fact: Ben McKenzie went as Jay Leno for Halloween. Mask, all denim, but no fake blood on his hands... his joking words, not mine. Ha!
Question:  Do you have pictures of his costume?? that's so funny.  Answer:  I wish! He said he didn't take any... sad


And then: 


So much #Southland love today - got questions for Ben McKenzie? Tweet now or forever stare longingly at your old O.C. poster
 Also, he told me what it'll take to get him on Twitter. Full interview to come next week... thanks for sending questions!

Hoping NBC survives long enough for Southland to air! :(
mmmmm....

I knew things were not going well for NBC, but now I'm  just hoping the network stays afloat long enough for season 2 of Southland to air!

Wouldn't it be great if the series was sold to a cable network???? Wonder if that is a realistic option.......

This could explain why there hasn't been any promotion of S/land season 2, maybe it's DOA, or maybe NBC does not plan to spend money they don't have on advertising, either way....trying to remain optimistic...still 3 three LONG weeks to go.

Lucky Girl!
mmmmm....

Just my personal link to the only Southland promo I have seen so far. And since I don't watch many NBC shows (especially with Leno on every freaking night at 10PM), and when I do watch NBC I NEVER see this commercial...so here's my link to the season 2 promo:


Oh and if you feel the way I do about Tammi, just scroll down to the video clip....don't read the short article...it's not good news, to me anyway!  Could use less of her character not more!

Access Hollywood with Ben and Kevin Alejandro

Didn't see this one posted but didn't want to duplicate it just in case I missed it out there somewhere....

sounds like they plan to wrap up the crime part of the story faster and do more of an in depth job of showing the personal point of view of the story for season 2.

Spoiler about Creepy Russell - not happy about this!!

Southland

This weekend, the producers of Southland spilled that Tom Everett Scott’s character does survive his gunshot wound. Look for the show to explore the psychological impact of the shooting on Scott’s character.


http://www.thetvremote.com/the-spoiler-roundup-08-13-09/

I can't believe that after we were so cheated out of watching Ben deal with the psychological effects of killing someone his first day on the job, now we have to sit through Creepy Russell getting airtime in season 2 to deal with his psychological problems!? WTF!?!?! 

No one even liked his character and now he will probably get the juicy material of dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event that Ben should have gotten in season one!  Not happy about this at all! :(

Ben is still helping out the Young Storytellers program...the date on this article is May 2009, but the pic is definitely not a recent one but posting this anyway because with Southland on hiatus, Ben sightings could become few and far between.

The video is cute, BUT Ben's NOT in the vidoe. :(

Our boy is so civic minded....makes me love him even more (and more and more and ...................................)

Ben takes his shirt off.....on Southland
Officer Ben w/shades
[info]benlust

Not sure if this is going to happen in the 6th episode or in the finale (episode 7), but whenever it happens I'll be eagerly awaiting some skin! Those arms when he took down the big guy in the tattoo parlor to help Cooper....soooooooooo hot! The sleeves of his uniform so tight around those bulging biceps....makes me weak just thinking about it...time to go watch again...
Just a comment found on line....
I feel the same way about the finale being so near............makes me sad......but I can't WAIT for the last 2 episodes...oh I really need to hear the date and time for the new episodes to start...just to have something to hang on to.....this is starting to sound way too obsessive...so I guess I will go now....off to DVD land to get lost in these arms...
Oh and yes, I must admit to a whole new appreciation of cops in uniform....never had a thing for them before but now Ben has taught me to love the patrolman look.

Geez Louise, Southland just started a few weeks ago, and their season finale is May 21st!

According to the TV Guide, it ends with a "cliff-hanger involving Dewey and his out of control drinking" AND a shirtless scene with Ben McKenzie....sweet:)



confused...
Officer Ben w/shades
[info]benlust
Well, I just watched tonight's episode of Southland (Two Gangs)....I really liked it, just confused on why Ben's mom did not appear. I tell you, this show keeps me guessing every week. Whether it's wondering if Ben and Cooper will be there and then about the talked about 7 minute scene about Cooper's sexuality that never aired....rumors that Ben would hook up with his therapist....now the mom. Maybe it's a plot to keep us in the dark....maybe it's just wild rumor....whatever it is, I'm totally hooked in spite of it all! Love the show, could tell just a bit that this episode was to air before Sally in the Alley that aired last week. (Russell and his wife getting along better than last week when he was already taking that writing class)....previews for next week look hot hot hot for Ben....can't wait to see the episode...but kind of bitter sweet as each episode aired brings us closer to the end....for now anyway....thank goodness I DVR'd them all...a wise investment indeed, hope it carries me thru the Ben-less months to come! 

NBC won't announce line up until May 18/19
Officer Ben w/shades
[info]benlust

two links to articles about NBC fall lineup. they are waiting until May 18 or 19 to announce actual timeslots and days for shows, but everything here sounds like Southland is a go for fall and not a mid-season replacement! I hope that's what it means, because I can barely wait for fall for new Southland episodes, so I KNOW I could never wait until January to see the Southland gang again! 
Hoping the 13 episodes gets extended to 26 for a full season! :)

Southland Renewed, More Focus on Patrolmen Needed

[info]benlust
Just a blog about Southland being renewed, but also pointing out the fact that the show was heavily promoting Ben and Officer Sherman's point of view as a rookie cop and now detectives getting too much airtime!

Who's Excited For Midseason Replacements? I See That Hand!

 

 

9. 'Southland' (NBC) - It's not coincidental that right as 'ER' ends it run after taking a two-year victory lap (seriously, guys, that was embarrassing), we see promos for a cop show "from the people who brought you 'ER'" that just happens to fall exactly in 'ER's' old lineup spot. Smart marketing for a show that strikes such a similar tone. There's a little of bit of 'ER' here, a little bit of 'The Wire,' and more than a little bit of 'Crash,' too (morally layered cops butt heads as interlocking cross-racial stories collide across sprawling Los Angeles). Regina King has the Don Cheadle role, 'The OC's' Ben McKenzie takes on Ryan Philippe, and Tom Everett Scott waits around for someone to either write him something good or kill him off (I'm banking on the latter, myself). The show's a little uneven out of the gate, but King and especially McKenzie make the show worth watching. Seriously, Ben McKenzie is outstanding here as a quiet newbie cop unsure of his footing. Take a good look, haters - it turns out the man has some serious chops.
