McKenzie backs NBC's 'Southland' delay

Ben McKenzie has praised NBC for delaying the second season premiere of Southland.

The series was originally scheduled to return to NBC tomorrow, but will now debut a month later on Friday, October 23.

31-year-old McKenzie, who plays Ben Sherman in the sophomore cop drama, told Entertainment Weekly that he believes NBC made the right decision in delaying the premiere.

"I think it's good," he said. "All of the shows are premiering [this] week on NBC. Now we'll be premiering on our own. [Plus], this gives us time to tinker with every single episode. I like it."
