Noir, was not a tremendous hit when it aired on TNT last fall.

The six episodes that were broadcast, with Jon Bernthal, Ed Burns, and Neal McDonough in lead roles, represent the initial first “season” plans, but there was always the chance that it would get a second season shot....

For example, on the set of Men In Black 3, Will Smith said you knew you told a really, really hilarious joke when Jones cracked the tiniest of smiles.
