Law and Order: Los Angeles


A. I'm a HUGE Law & Order fan.  I've watched all of the series spin-offs and was de.va.stated when they cancelled the OG version.  I know that many had given up on the show long ago, but I truly enjoyed the pairing of Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson, in addition to silver fox, Sam Waterston.  What got me through the cancellation was that NBC was replacing it with Law & Order: Los Angeles.  Which they abruptly cancelled. Hmmph!

B.  I really loved Law & Order: LA.  The series started a little slow, but they gained momentum and then killed off Skeet Ulrich.  What?!The?!Fudge?! Then they replaced him with the ever-talented Alfred Molina as Corey Stoll's partner.  Okay, I can deal with that.  The two seemed to have good chemistry, and I was super crushing over the both of them.

C.  Here's the kicker.  NBC decides that they are cancelling L&O:LA.  Boo.  Hiss.  They decided to keep the way-past-its-expiration date Law & Order: SVU, but cancelled the new show that was just starting to get good.  Ok fine.  I'll get over it (though it will be tough without my boyfriend, Chris Meloni).  BUT THEN, they start replaying these new L&O: LA episodes, which I assume that they had "in the can," with the VERY DEAD character of Skeet Ulrich starring.  Aaaaaaargh!  That's not okay.  My brain might explode watching a dead guy solve murders.  Does.Not.Compute. 

I'm quite upset about all of this and felt the need to share.  I am still holding out hope that NBC will come to their senses and change their minds and NOT cancel L&O:LA after all.  I know, dream world.  Just imagine my love life.
