More Fail From NBC

This Network needs to go away. They really don't know anything about programming anymore.

Why the rant?

And this has nothing to do with the redheaded whiner Coco, who I've come to despise in the last few months.

Law and Order is canceled after 20 seasons. If they could have paid the actors and actresses one more season it could have gone out as a record breaker. There could have been a proper finale for the show as opposed to the simple ending it will get in a week or two.

As it is, there's nothing special to commemorate this long running institution. The show just slinks off leaving its spin-offs to continue their runs; SVU on the Peacock and Criminal Intent on USA.

Not to worry, because you can't have too much of a good thing, right? Law and Order Los Angeles will be coming soon to a tv screen near you.

Wouldn't it be great if the networks would develop DIFFERENT shows instead of franchise shows. How many CSI and Law and Orders do we have to put up with?

Oye!

On a positive note for NBC, Chuck got renewed! That means there's still a chance our spy can sing for Sarah!

Coco's tour has actually been doing some pretty epic things.

Anyway, I'd heard it was canceled, but I had no idea that it was just going to end abruptly like this.

This is one of many strikes for some people. They wouldn't let the Pens show NBC-sponsored games on the screen at Mellon Arena, but some people in Buffalo did the exact same thing & it was completely okay. And their hockey coverage can be pretty terrible on top of it.

I've watched Law & Order off and on..and for a show that really gave them ratings for a long time..it should have been given a better send off than this. 20 years is a damn long time for any show to be around.

Although I've only watched L&O occasionally over the years, I did enjoy it when I did catch it. After 20 years, the show definitely deserved to go out in style with a proper finale. It would have given the writers a chance to bring back some of the characters of the past. If a casual viewer like me would be excited about that possibility, just imagine how loyal viewers would react.
