NBC's Memphis legal drama “Bluff City Law” has been canceled after one season, the Commercial Appeal reports. Though not unexpected (production on the program stopped in October), the announcement is an economic blow for the city. The show's 10 episodes employed dozens of Tennesseans and contributed about $35 million to the local economy, according to network estimates. It also featured many of Memphis’ landmarks, including soul food restaurants, Beale Street clubs and the Shelby County Judge D'Army Bailey Courthouse. Linn Sitler, head of the Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission, said the show “left more money in town than any other client in the last 33 years” and “broke through barriers by nurturing and hiring a record number of local crew persons of color.”
