DVD Review: Warner Archive Releases ‘The F.B.I.,’ ‘Southland’
Submitted by BrianTT on June 17, 2011 - 2:57pmCHICAGO – Loyal readers of HollywoodChicago.com will know that this TV critic is a HUGE fan of TNT’s “Southland,” the best cop drama currently on television and one of the best dramas, period. How anyone at NBC let this stellar program go will remain one of the great TV mysteries of the new millennium. Its unusual second season has recently been released by Warner Archive along with a program forty-five years its elder in “The F.B.I.”
