The flagship went down several years ago. They had Anthony Anderson and some cuck White guy as the cops at that point, which is part of the reason the ratings declined, they also strayed too much from the “formula”. If I see an older ep on “TNT” or something I sometimes watch it, if it’s an Anthony Anderson ep, no dice. They tied “Gunsmoke” with 20 seasons. If they brought it back with a decent cast and sticking to the old formula I think it would get eyeballs, from old people and me. ;d
The D’Nofrio vehicle “Criminal Intent” was sent to the junk yard after being driven after him by Chris Noth and then Jeff Goldblum before he returned for a final season. I used the like that one but I rarely watch repeats, I find it pretentious now.
The “LA” spinoff with our old pal Eph, didn’t last long.
There was also “Trial By Jury” which didn’t last long. NBC oded on Dick Wolf.
The Melendez Brothers thing is called “Law and Order: True Crime” but I don’t consider it Law and Order. Nor have I been watching after the boring pilot.
The quality of SVU has dropped a lot since the original male lead left and they made Mariska Hargitay a producer. NEVER make a the lead actress into a producer.
Impypedia! :)
Thank you for the breakdown. I caught 4 minutes of an Anderson-Jeremy “Cuck Cuck Cuck” Sisto episode and said “Uh, no.”
I watched 2 episodes of which one? with Dennis Farina (love him, RIP) only because Dennis Farina was in it.
Vincent “Private Pyle” D’Nofrio: Is his character supposed to be a Tourette’s/Rainman f***tard? I know Tourette’s and that guy’s an as**ole, squared. Again, after 4-5 minutes of seeing that phlegm, I switched.
The other spinoffs? Never seen ‘em. After what I’ve seen and your reviews, never will.
Mariska Hargitay: I hear you. Yes. And unlike many of her contemporaries, she is aging well. WB. Oh yes...WB..,!!!
