If TNT were going to save every great show that the NBC cancelled after one season (or less), they'd have their hands full! They would also never have to develop any show concepts of their own again. Just saying. Other networks make bad decisions too, but usually you can at least follow their reasoning somewhat (I don't remember what the case against Detroit 1-8-7 was). But NBC is hands down the king of cancelling critically applauded shows with great audience ratings.
Sadly, the longer it takes, the lower the possibility of resurrecting a show even if another channel would be interested. It's been a year for Detroit 1-8-7. The writers, producers and actors have taken jobs for different shows. It would be very hard, if not impossible, to get more than a few of them to come back at the same time. If another production were to pick up, they would have to do this almost as production stopped.
There are exceptions -- I never would have thought that Arrested Development would make it back, for example -- but it's probably safe to assume this is a done deal. The inspired writers, the talented cast, and last but not least the Michigan film industry, would have deserved this show though, no question about that.
