that was a LOLWUT?

were the writers too lazy or did she leave on such short notice that that's what they came up with?

I feel like it was like a really sloppy way to be topical and edgy while at the same time writing her character out of the show.

I hate that show.

Especially when they interview a suspect or witness and the witness answers the questions while just continuing doing what they're doing, like it's not a big deal. If a cop interviews me, I'm going to stop shuffling my flowers or whatever and take my time answering their questions. For that reason alone, I cannot stand the show.

Although I like L&O, I never really thought of that until you just mentioned it. Now I can't stop laughing :)

hm.. nbc didnt list a reason.

why did they cancel at 20th year instead of 21st?

they break the record if it went to 21st year.

Is Sam (the DA) the longest running character?

I read on USA Today that NBC offered 8 episodes for the 21st season but Dick Wolf wanted 16.

I believe Lt. Van Buren was on longer than McCoy

L&O with Brisco > L&O SVU > L&O Pre-Brisco > L&O post-Brisco > L&O Criminal Intent

Yep, according to IMDB Van Buren was on for 391 episodes. 368 for McCoy and 274 for Briscoe.

I stopped watching the show when they got Jeremy Sisto on the show. Can't stand that guy.

CI is really stupid.. The other two series are awesome.. Dunno why they'd cancel the original and not CI.

Conan's gone, Law and Order is gone, now Heroes is gone. NBC hates all their own shows :p

Don't care about Law and order and heroes though. Still, NBC blows.
