However, NBC Entertainment head Robert Greenblatt all but dismissed that option last month when he indicated that the move <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/bob-greenblatt-on-nbcs-ratings-woes-beauty-of-cable-community-tca/" target="_blank">would be too expensive to justify</a>.</p> <p>Still, some good news for fans of Fox’s <em>Terra Nova</em>: The cancellation of House makes a second season all the more likely.</p> <p>[<a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/02/house-to-end-run-on-fox-after-8-seasons/" target="_blank">deadline</a> / <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/02/08/fox-house-cancelled/" target="_blank">insidetv</a>.]</p> </blockquote> <p>(Expected) sadness.</p>http://blog.jhn.me/post/17289668906http://blog.jhn.me/post/17289668906Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:15:00 -0500phototvhouse<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3l0sdSU61qz9bn7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>scooter in the snow.
