Law & Order is getting canceled

[Leatherface]

After 20 years on the air Law and Order is getting cancelled. Ratings have declined in recet years after Jerry Orbach ( Who played detective Lennie Briscoe) passed away a few years back and it's never recovered. Personally this is fine with me. Law and Order has had so many different detetcives after jerry died that I just felt confused and mainly turned off from it. Also it's just lost it's charm. Your thoughts?

[Drayton Sawyer]

I've never watched a full episode. I've only seen bits and pieces of maybe 5 episodes. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

[Leatherface]

It was a very good show back in its day.

[JasonKrueger13]

Heroes is also getting canceled. With Lost and 24 ending as well, what will I watch as my main shows now

[Leatherface]

Also ghost whisperer and cold case are getting axed.

[Uncle Creepy]

ive never watched any of the l&o shows

[Kwik Kash]

Law & Order is one of those shows I never could get into. Same with others mentioned here, like 24 and Lost.

It's ironic because I'm attempting to major in Criminal Justice, yet I don't enjoy programs focused on them. Well, maybe a documentary or something, but that's it.

When I tell people this, one of two things happens. I either get the "Are you SERIOUS?" look and question, or the "Then maybe you don't enjoy this field, or thinking programs."

Honestly, as much as I want to kick myself for saying this, this show is a THOUSAND times better than some of the other garbage they push into time slots.

[Leatherface]

Kwik, if youw atch L&O in it's earlier seasons you'll get into it IMO. I always loved the earlier seasons but with the absence of popular character detective Lennie Briscoe ( Jerry Orbach ) ratings fell and fell even more with the different cast changes and more political crimes rather than street level crimes.

i love the show but the latter series havent been that good

[Leatherface]

Yep. This is the only Law and Order getting axed. It's two spin offs being Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent ( which airs on the USA network) will be renewed. There is a third spin off in the works taking place in Los Angeles

[Zombified Jeremy]

It had a good run and they already have another spinoff in the works, so it isn't a total loss.

[Rebel]

I could have SWORNNNNNNN I read that Criminal Intent was going off the air in July from the USA network.

That would leave SVU and their new show LOLA (Yes I just like saying that) for NBC in the Fall.

There is a whole lot of new shows coming in the Fall. Hell the CW is making a Nikita show :S

[Leatherface]

I thought CI was safe. I haven't heard anything about it getting cancelled

[Rebel]

Hmm, it was on a spoiler tv thing stream I have on facebook. I will confirm it if I get an offcial word but it doesn't do too well on USA. Pulls in like 2 million viewers and less than 1 in the18-49 demo.

[Leatherface]

True. That's why they added in Jeff Goldbloom but I always liked Psycha nd Burn Notice. But Back to the subject, In recent years there were so many different detecitives ( practically every two seasons there was a new detective) that I just turned off from it.

[fridayfan1979]

I can't stand Law and Order. The last good cop show to me was NYPD Blue.

[Drayton Sawyer]

I really liked Homicide: Life on the Street.

[Rebel]

I sorta liked LA Dragnet does that count?

[SiMpLe-SiStEr]

Oohh! The lady I care for in the mornings watching that show religiously.

[Leatherface]

Homice was graet and NYPD Blue was fantastic!
