Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The Law & Order revival has been back for two seasons and they already lost its two lead detectives. Anthony Anderson left before season two. And this week, Jeffrey Donovan departed ahead of season 3 due to creative differences.

Today, we found out that Reid Scott will be joining the police procedural. However, Variety did not know how he is going to be written into the show. Probably because the series was not expecting to lose Donovan a week ago.

We should learn more about Reid’s character when L&O returns on January 18th.

ABC and AMPAS announced today that Jimmy Kimmel will be back to host the Oscars for a fourth time on March 10th.

“After his triumphant return to the Oscars stage last year, we are honored to have Jimmy back to guide us through one of the most beloved celebrations in entertainment. He is such a valuable member of our Disney family, and we could not be more appreciative of him and his entire team,” said Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals. “We are also grateful to have the multitalented Molly back on the producing team, and we have no doubt that this year will be a spectacular night celebrating the biggest films of the year.”

I don’t know if I would want him back. Weird things happen when he does it. First, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that the wrong movie won Best Picture in 2017. Then, last year, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock? What is going to happen in 2024? Only time will tell.

Law & Order is getting ready to get back into production, but they are going to do it with one less detective. That is because TV Line reports that Jeffrey Donovan is leaving the series due to creative differences, aka he got a Burn Notice.

Producers are looking for a replacement for this season’s 13 episodes. I am sure there are a lot of New York actors who will jump at the chance. I hope they go with a female like Jill Hennessy.

Donovan is not the first actor to leave the show. His TV partner, Anthony Anderson, opted not to return for the second season of the revival.

Due to the strikes, broadcast television lost half a season. Therefore, not all of the shows will be airing in the first part of 2024. Deadline is reporting that 9-1-1: Lone Star’s 5th season will not debut until the Fall. And this season will only be 12 episodes.

Lone Star is not the only show Fox is moving. New dramas Doc and Rescue: Hi-Surf are also waiting to make their debuts. And I am sure these series will not be alone. CBS already announced that Matlock and Poppa’s House will also be delayed until next season.

Back in January, Taylor Kinney took an indefinite leave from Chicago Fire to deal with an undisclosed personal matter. And he wound up taking the rest of season 11 off. Therefore, we wondered when and if he would be back.

Today, we learned that Severide has been written into the first few episodes of the NBC First Responders drama’s 12th season.

According to Deadline, his return is expected to be full-time. But there has been no confirmation.

Whether you watch the Law & Order franchise or not, you know that dun-dun sound. But did you know you could dance to it?

Well, you can. And Wolf Entertainment wants to see your moves to their theme song.

So if your body likes to groove to that dun-dun, send your videos to @WolfEntertainment , and you might see it on their social media sites. And there is even a chance could some special gifts.

I have an idea for my video. Does anyone have a morgue I can borrow?

NBC announced today that they picked up all six of Dick Wolf’s procedurals, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and Law & Order: Organized Crime, for the 2023-2024 season.

“I’m pleased to continue my four-decade relationship with Universal Television and NBC,” said executive producer Dick Wolf. “All six shows being picked up again is the ultimate accolade to our incredible casts, producers, and writers. I’d also like to thank our loyal fans who have kept our NBC shows on the air for what will be a cumulative 84 seasons.”

If you want to do the math, then here are the numbers: Law & Order: SVU, 25th season, Law & Order, 23rd season, Chicago Fire, 12th season, Chicago PD, 11th season, Chicago Med, 9th season, and Law & Order: CI, 4th season.

The six shows join Quantum Leap, Night Court, La Brea, Magnum, P.I., and Found in the fall.
