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.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"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.

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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
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.

It was a brilliant season/series finale. But Damian Lewis has said he's not doing any more TV, and I will miss him. Plus Charlie Crews was such a marvellous character. And Dani Reese was no chopped liver herself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not bitter, but I do miss it quite a lot. Every now and then we'll be watching something else and DH will say "I miss Life" and I will get sad.
