Seriously? OMG! WTF?

NBC announced today when their shows will debut for the Fall schedule, and they made one huge change.

The Hunting Party, which was supposed to air on Thursdays at 10p, is being held until the midseason. Instead, Law & Order: Organized Crime, which moved to Peacock, is returning to NBC on Thursday nights, with repeats that originally aired on the streamer. Therefore, giving Dick Wolf two nights of broadcasting: One Chicago Wednesdays and Law & Order Thursdays.

The network is also doubling up on comedies. St. Denis Medical and Happy Place will air two episodes on their respective days, Mondays and Fridays. I am not sure if that is a good plan or not. What do you think?

What I do think is that NBC has the advantage over ABC and Fox because they are airing more scripted programming than the other two.

When Chicago Fire ended its season, we found out that Jake Lockett and Daniel Kyri would not be returning for season 14.

Now, we are learning that a third firefighter will no longer be fighting fires at Firehouse 51. Michael Bradway, who played Severide’s half-brother Jack Damon, is departing the series.

However, it won’t be the last we see of him on our televisions. That is because Soaps.com is reporting that he has been cast in Prime Video’s Every Summer After, which is currently in production.

I wish they did more to keep him because his character was interesting. It felt like they could do more with the troubled firefighter.

The CW announced a few months ago that they were importing Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, and today they announced when the police procedural will debut.

The first season follows the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit’s Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (Aden Young) and Frankie Bateman (Kathleen Munroe), as they investigate high-profile homicides in Canada’s largest metropolis. Their unique investigative skills are showcased through a variety of psychological tactics, with a heavy focus on the motives and actions of criminals. These cases delve into the worlds of high finance, politics, real estate, media, and more.

Canadian TV has already picked it up for a second season, so I would not be surprised if The CW does the same.

LOTCI debuts on September 24th.

Dick Wolf is everywhere these days and coming this Fall, he will have a show on The CW. The network picked up Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent for two seasons.

The first season follows the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit’s detective duo, Detective Sergeants Henry Graff (Aden Young) and Frankie Bateman (Kathleen Munroe), as they investigate high-profile homicides in Canada’s largest metropolis. Their unique investigative skills are showcased through psychological tactics, with a heavy focus on the motives and actions of the criminals. These cases delve into the worlds of high finance, politics, real estate, media, and more.

While I don’t watch the US versions of the Law & Orders, I will probably check out this series because the Canadians are less violent than we are.

NBC announced today that they have renewed Law & Order for season 24 and Law & Order: SVU for season 26, thus bringing their combined total of seasons to 50! And with that, even The Simpsons cannot compete with that, which was just picked up for seasons 37, 38, and 39.

Yesterday, we found out that Octavio Pisano and Juliana Martinez are leaving SVU. I would not be surprised if there will be more departures from both shows.
