OB-based ‘Terriers’ series runs out of leash “Terriers,” the gritty Ocean Beach-filmed comedic drama that’s had locals on a leash since its debut Sept. 8 has apparently lost its bite for FX Network executives. The network announced the cancellation of the original series after 13 episodes, citing an average viewership of about 500,000 per episode. With many locals remaining loyal to the series that stars Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, a rabid electronic petition campaign was launched to bring the series back — so far to no avail. The series centered on the two stars, who become unlicensed private investigators. The producers enlisted the help of dozens of local crewmembers and extras each episode, shooting largely in Ocean Beach but also all over San Diego’s most scenic and iconic locations. Officials with the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association lamented the cancellation in an e-blast to local merchants and residents Dec. 22, urging neighbors to keep the petition campaign going and to press FX Network decisionmakers for a return of the series.

The parish, driven by a decision four years ago to disaffiliate from the Episcopal Church to “retain and pass on the faith and practice of historic Anglicanism as an expression of catholic Christianity,” will take the congregation from its current building at 2083 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. to Bethany Lutheran Church at 2051 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. The parish has been led by Father Lawrence D. Bausch since 1979. As of Sunday, Jan. 2, Holy Trinity will offer Sunday Mass at 8 a.m. at the new site. Holy Trinity will also offer midweek Masses at Bethany Lutheran on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. and Fridays at 9:30 a.m. A service of hope and healing, open to the entire community, will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 9. In 1979, the parish invited the Ecumenical Food Bank “Loaves and Fishes” to use its facilities and it has continued ever since. Around 1987, parish members began hosting a free dinner for the needy once a month, the first such opportunity in Ocean Beach. Since that time, it has expanded to a weekly meal every Wednesday; one of the early guests has been inspired to “give back” with a weekly Monday meal at the beach; and members of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church have begun serving a free meal two Tuesdays a month. Holy Trinity also began offering a series of Celtic Music Concerts in 1997, and for the last 13 years, has hosted many of the finest performers from Ireland and Scotland when they have toured the United States. Parish offices and meeting rooms have also relocated to 3725 Talbot St. in Point Loma. For more information, call (619) 222-0365. Normal office hours will be Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon.
