NBC has cancelled Law & Order one season short of breaking Gunsmoke’s 20 season record according. The show that launched 4 spinoffs will be signing off after being on TV for 20 years. But before you fans of Law & Order get too upset, the death of Law & Order gives way to birth of Law & Order: Los Angeles because G-d forbid NBC only have one L&O on their air. The Live Feed got this statement from the father of the Law & Orders about the cancellations.
Since the May 24 finale has already been shot, the final episode won’t provide much closure to fans. Sources say NBC and Wolf plan to meet after the upfronts to discuss possible “closure opportunities” for the show, possibly having characters from “L&O” appear on the “Los Angeles” spinoff, or even having a two-hour wrap-up movie.
Hopefully NBC will give this long running show the goodbye it deserves.
UPDATE: NBC has also pulled the plug on Mercy according to The Live Feed. I liked this show, but the cancellation is not a surprise because of its declining ratings. Hopefully the end of Mercy means that Trauma will be back, but I highly doubt it.
