Telemystery: A&E Passes on Big Mike, Decision Pending on Longmire

In prime time time cable news, A&E has elected not to move forward with Big Mike, a crime drama featuring a plus-sized San Diego cop. Its other pilot series, Longmire, based on a character created by mystery writer Craig Johnson, is still in the running for pick-up.

Earlier this month, A&E renewed Breakout Kings for a second season, and its other scripted crime drama, The Glades, is performing well enough during its summer run to assure it a renewal for a third season.
