Memphis Beat: Canceled!
TNT will not be revisiting Jason Lee and the southern precinct of Memphis Beat again: the network has canceled this drama after two seasons on the air.
“The network thanks everyone involved in the production of Memphis Beat for their work on the series, including the great cast and crew,” TNT said statement this afternoon.
This cancelation follows a similar fate for TNT's Men of a Certain Age and HawthoRNe, although the network does have a string of hits.
Rizzoli & Isles and Falling Skies fared very well this summer, while a second season of Franklin & Bash was ordered and The Closer returns on November 28.

You just can't stand to have a great show for every member of the family, of course you cancel it! Memphis Beat has been missed since the final show of last season. Why would you keep a show w/interesting plots, great music & character interaction? Dwight singing in a neighborhood style bar @ the end of the show was a must. Never liked Men of a Certain Age. You keep Franklin & Bash over Memphis Beat? Rizzoli & Isle & Leverage are good, not better than Memphis Beat. The Closer is great, oh yes, it is ending also. Hawthorne was okay if nothing else was on. Sounds like you might lose some viewers!
