CBS has pulled tonight’s FBI season finale due to a horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

The episode titled Prodigal Son was described as, “As the team investigates a deadly robbery that garnered a cache of automatic weapons for the killers, they discover one of the perps is a classmate of Jubal’s son, who is reluctant to cooperate with the case.”

CBS made the right decision.

I don’t have much more to say because my heart is broken for our country. There were two awful mass shootings in the last two weeks by 18-year-olds. And sadly, it is going to keep happening.

UPDATE: Missy Peregrym, who is on maternity leave and not in the episode, had this to say, “Nothing I say here will satisfy the depth of grief I feel for the families of this heartbreaking and hateful reality. I commend @cbstv for pulling the finale.”

NBC loves being in business with Dick Wolf, so they picked up Law & Order and Law & Order: Organized Crime for another season. They will join Wolf’s other shows on the network, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Law & Order: SVU on the 2022-2023 schedule.

“Dreams do come true,” said executive producer Dick Wolf. “The renewals of the entire Wednesday and Thursday night lineups is the ultimate verification of our partnership with NBC and Universal Television. I personally want to thank the talented writers and casts, the producers who keep the trains running on time and the crews who tirelessly turn out outstanding shows despite a degree of difficulty never before experienced due to the pandemic.”

Along with owning Wednesday and Thursday nights on NBC, Wolf owns Tuesdays on CBS with FBI. FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International. At this rate, ABC should do what they can they have a night of Wolf Entertainment programming.

Once you are in business with Dick Wolf, you don’t want to get out of it. Because of that, CBS announced today that they renewed FBI, FBI: International, and FBI: Most Wanted for not one but two more seasons.

“Everybody who works on these three shows is over the moon about the multi-year pickups,” said Dick Wolf, executive producer and FBI brand creator. “We are all incredibly grateful to CBS and our partners at Universal Television and CBS Studios. And I personally would like to thank the incredible casts, talented writers and dedicated producers, not to mention three crews who never missed an airdate despite the difficulties of producing full seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The three FBIs join The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, Bob ♥ Abishola, CSI: Vegas, Ghosts, NCIS, NCIS: Hawai’i, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Neighborhood, Secret Celebrity Renovation, Survivor, S.W.A.T., The Equalizer, Tough As Nails, and Young Sheldon on the 2022-2023 schedule.

Law & Order: Organized Crimes’ Ainsley Seiger dissed Dylan McDermott

Dylan McDermott left Law & Order: Organized Crime to star in Dick Wolf’s FBI: Most Wanted. Tonight was his first appearance on the latter show, so Wolf Entertainment asked his ex-co-stars to record a special for him.

Ainsley Seiger was more than willing to volunteer, and she was so excited to wish her good friend Dermott Mulroney good luck at his new job.

And with that, Seiger is my favorite actress in the Wolf World. And if you consider how many actresses there are in that universe, that is a huge compliment.

The funny reason why Law & Order had to stop filming

Law & Order was filming in Manhattan, but they had to stop because of something that was happening in the background. What was it? A streaker? A fan? A real crime? None of the above.

A bus with an ad for the NBC show was passing by as Anthony Anderson and Jeffrey Donovan were shooting a scene. And they can’t have that air during broadcast.

Why? Because an eagle-eyed viewer will spot it, and it will go viral. Someone from my hometown saw the BX2 Express Bus in a scene of Dick Wolf procedural and posted it to our Riverdale group. If they can see Riverdale flash by in a second, imagine what the fans would do if they saw a poster for L&O?

Oh, and imagine what would’ve happened if no one caught that bus ad until that episode aired and the gaffe was all over social media? Dun-dun.
