Law And Order Has Been Canceled

Submitted by Noli X on June 17, 2010 - 9:21pm

The original Law and Order has been canceled. It marks the end of an era; the cop and prosecutor procedural show that takes place in and around New York City has been around given that 1990. After this season wraps, that could be it according to producer Dick Wolf. The spin off shows will continue, however, along with a new one for the fall. It isn't like the producers will hurt for payday cash advances, as the multiple spin off series and syndication mean it will keep going for a while.

Law and Order inspired by the Dodgers

Law and Order fans don't have to lose hope, unless the original was the only one they like. A new Law and Order series, taking place in Los Angeles, will debut this fall as outlined by the New York Times. The New York offices are closing shop, and the series is heading to LA, just like the Dodgers. Despite its near institutional status, and producer Dick Wolf’s known desire to beat Gunsmoke as the longest-running prime time drama, the show is nevertheless going to the metaphorical gallows.

Spin offs abound

Hardly any show has produced as many spin offs as Law and Order. There's Law and Order Special Victims Unit, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Law and Order UK, and soon, Law and Order LA. There were various other spin off series, but none fared too well. There are rumors that a movie may be within the works and that the show is being sued by Chuck Norris, as Law and Order are the trademarked names of his left and right boots.

Not the only shows cut this year

There were other cancellations for this year. Widely popular shows are no exception, as both Lost and 24 were booted from production. The Ghost Whisperer will soon need John Edwards to communicate with it, Numb3rs has dwindled to zero, and also the New Adventures of Old Christine will not have any new episodes.
