NBC doesn't have anything else and needs hours and hours of programming next year.
I think L&O is a go.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
NBC ordered a record number of pilots for next season. 18 I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As far as I can remember of the numbers, L&O has been a reliable performer, and I haven't heard about money problems with it like SVU and CI. I'd like to think that weighs in their favour--a week full of new drama at 10 is a bit of an intimidating risk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
One of the pilots NBC ordered is a L&O show set in LA.
I cannot believe they want to do yet another L&O. They are copying plots across the programs as it is.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Why not L&O historical at this point? Let's pull plots from gritty cases people have forgotten about (or maybe they already do) - cast a bunch of younger mostly unknown actors for cheap, film in sepia tones, start a whole vintage dress revival a la Mad Men. good times.

New from NBC this Fall: Pilot!

And what can L&O:LA really offer that they can't do with L&O and an established cast of characters? NBC had LA as a potential character in Life and in Southland and tossed both those.

Still so bitter about Life.

I still have the TiVo season pass for it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I still have Life on my DVR queue. I'm not as bitter as I would have been if the last season hadn't wrapped up the story so well.
