He’s very good friends with his producer Dick Wolf, and several unaired episodes of L&E are already in the can. If he announces now, there’s little doubt in my mind NBC would put them on the shelf and, in effect, Fred would be sticking his friend with the cost.

It’s not in his nature.

So IOW he will wait till after they air.

Do you have an idea of when those unaired episodes will be aired?

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it downright silly that a man shouldn't be allowed to do his job as an actor and run for President at the same time?

If NBC can't show episodes of Law and Order just because one of the actors is running for President, then why should C-SPAN2 be allowed to broadcast Senate business when fully six of its "actors" are running for President.

What NBC and L&E could do to skirt the issue of Fred on L&
E would be to use a blackout box over Fred’s face and voice changer (to Donald Duck or Darth Vader). Thus, they could still air the episodes but not use Fred’s image. People would tune in to the show in droves just to see what they would do to get around the problem.
