Goodbye L&O, hello LOLA
 

I know this was mentioned in the what do you feel like saying thread, but the last episode of Law & Order will be aired on May 24th.

In its place, the network will be picking up another spinoff: Law & Order Los Angeles.

Will you be watching? Do you think it will last like SVU and CI, or will it die out like Trial & Jury?

p.s CI with Goren pwns, though SVU is always a close 2nd :D

It will die in 2.5 seconds.

I can't believe they're cancelling L & O original when it finally has a cast that gels, and keeping SVU which is nothing more than a boring sermon about the cause of the week and Olivia going on some lameass undercover mission where her tits may or may not accidentally pop out.

I stopped watching the original L&O when Larry Orbach died. Never even saw the trial by jury version. i watch reruns of the SVU... but i think its just overkill. good shows, but the cast is what makes it. i wont be watching LOLA, same way i dont watch CSINY or CSIMiami (thats mostly because david carusoe gives me the creeps though).

Fixed your post :)

I saw this mess earlier. I think it'll die like TBJ (and like Criminal Intent should).

This is why I stick with SVU.

lol @ bolded. why are her tits popping out? man i'm so behind.

i stopped watching CSI Miami because of him. i just can't stand him and his corny lines. it kills me inside.

:mad:

lol, did i really type larry instead of jerry? lmao... i'm blaming my children and dogs... they're distracting me.

:)

Oh, and yay for Benson titties.

I still like SVU the best, but the original seems to be working for me again too. I don't think LOLA would last long unless the cast just works together. I think that's how SVU and CI have survived, and CI seems to do well on cable these days I'm just not a fan.

I too prefer SVU the best. I just wish they could find an actor/actress to be a permenant ADA. I was beyond thrilled when they brought Stephanie March back (Cabot) but then they wrote her character out again.

lol

This

First of all

SVU>

Mariska Hargitay>

Mariska Hargitay's left titty> your life

Secondly, I can appreciate CI, but I don't watch it.

I also don't watch the original, but they could have given it one more year.

I LOVED Trial by Jury. BOO on them for canceling it.

This is the bullshittiest bullshit I can think of.

I mean, the Conan v. Jay Leno shit sucked (going to see CoCo next week OMG!).

But, this is the worst thing ever.

Sulk.

Well, I have got to say that if and when SVU goes away, I'm going to be crabby if I don't have my Richard Belzer fix.

I'm another one who stopped watching L&O when Jerry Orbach died. Still not thrilled about the show ending though. I usually just watch SVU.

As far as CI is concerned, IMO it doesn't exist now that Goren and Eames are gone. It's now the Jeff Goldblum Show.

agzg - if Conan still has his beard tell him for me that he needs to keep it - I think it's totally sexy.

I have to look at L&O: LA, because I am so curious. I am forever a follower of SVU and I still love the original. CI is just boring now and I miss TBJ.

Anyone remember L&O: Crime and Punishment? Now THAT was a strange one. It was the one showing real court cases. It was like watching an hour version of those court channels. It was just too hard to watch without the familiar formats.

I adored L&O:Crime and Punishment. I think it was on for two summers in a row. I liked how it was "just like" the show, in terms of the first half being about solving the crime and the second half being about the prosecution.

Yeah, that was a good one. They always take the good shows off the air, though. Skin only lasted for half a season and it was the best thing that was on in a while.

I always had a little crush on Jack McCoy, but lately he's just turned into a crochety old man. I think they've just kept it on the air for the last few years simply because it was L&O. So at least I saw this one coming!

Ditto on McCoy, but with the current ADAs all I see is "Batman's Dad." I'm sure the guy has done other roles besides that, but in my head... "Batman's Dad."

I'll give it a try, but I think it will die out pretty quickly.

I'd like to add, YAY FOR ANY EPISODE IN WHICH STABLER REMOVES HIS SHIRT!! :D (should be mandatory)

*watched the SVU marathon on USA and Stabler was in his boxer briefs*

I'll be in my bunk.

LOL! When I have a bad day, I throw on SVU via Netflix.

Elliot Stabler > a pint of ice cream :D

What about Elliot Stabler with a pint of ice cream?

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

You're killing me! ;)

Excuse me, y'all, but we are not pieces of meat.

We have minds too :(

Says the man who wants MOAR BENSON TITTAYS.

Speak for yourself, Gloria Steinem.

*doing the dick slang 4 da laydiez*

BLAOW!

Dick slang!

But not with ice cream :o


just jello

I'm logging off GC for life.

I hate you.

I... don't know how to take this. *stuffs a wad of singles.... somewhere*

HA.

You are so close-minded!

THAAAAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

L&O has a habit of recycling actors for different roles, and I hate that because I've seen just about all of them at least once. Some of them, I can see the first 10 seconds and tell you what will happen in the next hour. The one that absolutely killed me, though, is the chick that plays Elliot's wife was in a fairly memorable L&O episode before she appeared on SVU, and her L&O character was executed for killing a cop.

I think I need help. I wonder if there are any L&O Anonymous groups out there, haha!!!

I do the exact same thing! It's bad too if you go to any shows in NYC because EVERYONE on Broadway has done L&O at some point. I'll sit through a show whispering to my husband or my friend, Wes, "Yeah, that's the guy that went crazy and killed the girl who was working with him at the mental clinic. He turned out to be a lawyer, and he defended himself once he got back on his meds."

And I know exactly what episode you're talking about. :-/

Speaking of crazy people, there's one chick that plays a girl who is crazy, on a bunch of meds, rich, and named Mercedes, and is somewhat of a main character in an episode. And she's a main character in another episode, where she is crazy again with multiple personality disorder. Talk about being pigeonholed.

I like most episodes- the ones that I can't stand are the "ripped from the headlines" bullcrap. Maybe that's another reason why I like the older ones better.

Didn't one of the ADAs appear as a rapists first? The redhead who's name escapes me. Novak?

A couple of the regulars first showed up as perps...one of the first female cops and one of the ADAs were prostitutes before they got the regular gigs.
