Before Steve Burns was solving the clues on Blue Clues, the detectives on Law & Order needed the clues to figure out what killed him. The 21-year-old gave a great performance back in that 1995 episode.
About a month ago, NBC announced that they are bringing back Law & Order for a 21st season after an 11-year hiatus.
Today, they announced who will be the new detective in charge. That actor is Jeffrey Donovan, who is best known for starring in Burn Notice. He was the McGuyver of the crime world in Miami. Now, he is solving crime in NYC.
Along with Donovan, Deadline is also reporting that Anthony Anderson and Sam Waterston are in talks to reprise their roles. Who do you want to see back from the original series? I am hoping they get a Broadway star to join the show.
Yesterday was the 200th episode of Chicago Fire, and we said goodbye to Jesse Spencer. The actor, who has been with the show since day one, decided now was the perfect time to move on.
“I realized I’ve been doing TV for a long time,” Spencer said in a call with reporters. “I added it up and this year is my 18th year because I went straight from House to Chicago Fire. We were coming up to the 200th episode, and so I called [showrunner] Derek [Haas] and I broke the news that I’m leaving the show. He agreed that we should at least get Casey to the 200th episode. It was a difficult decision because I’ve loved this show from the start, but there’s other things that I would like to do in the future and family that I need to take care of.”
After ten years in Chicago, you can’t blame the Aussie native for wanting a change.
Is the last we will see of Matt Casey? He might pop in every now and again, like for Severide’s wedding to Kidd, according to Parade.
I am sad to see him go. But at least they didn’t kill him off. They let him do the noble thing and take care of his best friend’s minor sons.
Eleven years ago, NBC murdered Law & Order. That was then. Today, they announced that they are resurrecting it for a 21st season.
Even though Dick Wolf has three FBI series on CBS, three Chicago dramas, and two Law & Orders currently on the air, he had this to say about this news, “There are very few things in life that are literally dreams come true. This is mine.”
If it wasn’t for Law & Order, I doubt those eight shows would be on the air. L&O gave birth to so many shows, so you can’t blame the flagship’s father for being so happy for his eldest child.
I am assuming this came about because NBC needed to fill the hole that was emptied because Wolf decided not to move with Law & Order: For the Defense.
If CBS could bring back CSI, then NBC can bring back Law & Order. It is like 2000 all over again.
On that note, when it comes to who will be back and when it will be back, we do not know. All of that will be revealed at a later date.
Dick Wolf Entertaintment has three shows on CBS and five over at NBC. Yesterday, one of the CBS shows asked an NBC one for help. What does FBI’s Alana de la Garza want from Chicago Med? She needs them to patch up James Chen’s papercut. Poor baby because those hurt a lot.
Now, let’s take a second and imagine what it would be like to have Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille and FBI Technical Analyst Ian Lim leave NYC to go to Chicago for a crossover event. If Law & Order: SVU can do it, why can’t FBI?
I think it would be fun to see how the completely different Dick Wolf procedurals interact with each other. What do you think?
