or at least given a severely reduced role. Liv's getting a promotion after 13 episodes and a new detective will take her place.

That would be hot.

Well, with the original gone, the LA version thankfully going away, and with Criminal Intent on its last few legs, this seems to signal the swan song for the entire franchise.
Hopefully BBC will keep the UK version going.

Posted: 5/15/11 at 12:05pmCI and LA are horrible. L&O and SVU were the only ones worth watching.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

The UK one is actually quite good and does air on BBC America.
As far as this, UGH.
Is JLH going to continue as her recurring character? Did Christine Lahti (I know she plays an Exec ADA) and Sharon Stone already pass on offers to return?
Why could they just not go to Fin and Munch to step in for Benson (and possibly Stabler)?

Posted: 5/15/11 at 2:26pmBoth Meloni and Hargity are better than this show and should probably move on.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 5/15/11 at 2:53pmChristine Lahti's character was killed off earlier in the season. Not like Cabot dead either. You saw Sonya bleed out.

And it looks like Mariska won't be leaving her Detective post until the 14th season. Someone will be added to create competition.
TVLINE | With the news that you’re considering bringing in an actress — perhaps Jennifer Love Hewitt — to replace Mariska Hargitay halfway through Law & Order: SVU next season, is this confirmation that you believe there’s life in this show beyond Mariska and Chris Meloni?
I do believe that. Although, to clarify, this isn’t to replace Mariska. The idea is that we want to bring in somebody midway through the season alongside Mariska and Chris. Mariska’s deal is closed for [a 13th] season, so she’s not disappearing. Creatively, I think it will give [Benson] some competition, which I think will be interesting. And then we have to look at what a 14th season might require. Mariska just adopted a child. We don’t know yet if she wants to do the show for a Season 14, and we’re looking at options. Jennifer Love is somebody who we’ve been circling, but I don’t know that that is going to happen at all.
TVLINE | The word “replacement” was used because the new character would be introduced as Meloni’s new partner as Hargitay’s character moved into more of a supervisory role.
That creatively is the thinking. New showrunner Warren Leight is in the process of figuring all of that out. We’re trying to change it up and see if some new configurations could keet the show going for several more years.
TVLINE | Meloni’s deal for Season 13 isn’t done yet. Are you concerned?
I think we’re gonna be in pretty great shape with Chris.

Why would you have to upset me on a Monday morning with this news.
Plus, L&O UK? Good? Really...?
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 5/16/11 at 8:46amI bet the SVU writers are busy concocting their 'ripped from the headlines' episode about a French IMF chairman getting nabbed on a plane trying to flee after assaulting a hotel maid.

No! I'm way behind in my SVU watching but it's always been my favourite L&O mainly for the pairing of Meloni and Mariska 
Maybe I'm on nobody's side
