Gabrielle Union’s ‘Bad Boys’ Spin-Off ‘L.A.’s Finest’ Not Picked Up By NBC

Gabrielle Union’s “Bad Boys” spin-off has received a slight setback. According to reports, this upfront season NBC has decided to pass on her pilot, titled LA’s Finest, which co-starred Jessica Alba. NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt explained their decision stating,
