Out of Order: Adam Beach Bids SVU Adieu | Today's News: Our Take | 4/18/2008
Adam Beach is leaving Law & Order: SVU at the end of this season, as he and the producers have mutually agreed not to extend his option for a second season on the NBC procedural. "I very much enjoyed my year on Law & Order: SVU," Beach tells the Reporter. "Now I'm looking forward to new adventures."Says overL&Ord Dick Wolf, who also worked with Beach on HBO's acclaimed Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, "Adam is a superb actor. He did a terrific job this season on SVU, and I look... read more be the first to leave a comment
Exclusive: Were Dourdan and Neal (Gulp) Fired? | Today's News: Our Take | 4/17/2008
I believe it was Mark Twain who once said: "Cast shake-ups are like Transformers — there is usually more to them than meets the eye." And I was reminded of how true those words were this week following my back-to-back exclusives that CSI and Law & Order: SVU would be losing Gary Dourdan and Diane Neal, respectively. Initially, I reported that the actors were leaving for the most mundane of reasons: Both of their contracts were up, and they had decided to move on. But in the hours that... read more be the first to leave a comment
Exclusive: Diane Neal Bails on Law & Order: SVU | Today's News: Our Take | 4/15/2008
Man, they're dropping like flies this week on the procedurals. Less than 24 hours after I reported that Gary Dourdan and CSI would be parting ways by season's end, word comes that Diane Neal has given notice at Law & Order: SVU!A show spokesperson confirmed the actress' departure, saying, "Diane spent five years on SVU and was a tremendous addition to the SVU team. She is looking forward to new opportunities and she will be missed."Neal, who will make her final appearance in next month's... read more be the first to leave a comment
ABC Changes: Murder In, Trees Out | Matt Roush | 3/31/2008
Some head-scratching is in order upon looking at ABC's latest round of midseason shuffling. On one hand, I get why the network would try to give Women’s Murder Club some exposure on a night that isn’t Friday. But in announcing its return with three new episodes on Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, starting April 29, you can’t help but wonder if the show is being given a favor after all. This scheduling puts it head-to-head against NBC’s powerful Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,... read more be the first to leave a comment
Exclusive: SVU Nabs Robin Williams for 200th | Today's News: Our Take | 3/18/2008
I told you Law & Order: SVU's 200th episode was going to be big, and now I've got proof: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Robin Williams has inked a deal to guest-star in the landmark episode on April 29. The Oscar winner will play a Svengali-like figure who tests Benson and Stabler like never before.Exec producer Neal Baer says the episode is "one of the best cat-and-mouse stories we've ever done," and describes Williams' character as "a guy who has a problem with authority figures."... read more be the first to leave a comment
SVU Boss: "Olivia Benson Finally Has a Boyfriend" | Today's News: Our Take | 3/18/2008
"And he was well worth the wait." That's the word from Law & Order: SVU executive producer Neal Baer, announcing the casting of Bill Pullman (Independence Day) as the new (and lucky!) guy in Benson's life. According to People, Pullman's character, Kurt Moss, is the editor of a fictional New York City newspaper, and first will be seen in the April 22 episode, the procedural's second post-strike outing.Mariska Hargitay is sure to be pleased. As she shared with TV Guide just last week, "I've... read more be the first to leave a comment
NBC Sues Dick Wolf over Contract L&Oophole | Today's News: Our Take | 1/28/2008
NBC has sued Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, seeking no monetary damages but instead asking the Los Angeles Superior Court for an interpretation of a contract provision that both sides have been disputing since September.According to Variety, NBC contends that an agreement inked in 2004 provides Wolf with one additional year of executive-producer fees after any L&O incarnation is granted its final one-season order. Or, if the last order from NBC is for two seasons, Wolf gets no extra... read more be the first to leave a comment
Cheers: Desperate's Latest Twists | Cheers & Jeers | 1/7/2008
Cheers to Desperate Housewives for hitting a high note with its first post-twister (and last pre-strike!) episode. From the welcome return of M*A*S*H veteran Mike Farrell as Victor's cold-blooded father (who knew B.J. could be such an SOB?) to the Frasier-level farces involving Bree's gay roofer and Ida's ashes, it was a delight. Yet it had moments of genuine pathos as well, like when Lynette saw her family emerge from the rubble (though I wouldn't have minded if bratty Kayla hadn't made it).... read more be the first to leave a comment
On the Police Beat: The Wire Returns... in Prequels! | Today's News: Our Take | 12/5/2007
Three flashback mini-movies produced by David Simon, the creator of the acclaimed HBO series, have been released via Amazon.com as free streams available on the page for the complete fourth-season DVD set. On Jan. 15, the flicklets will also be made available via HBO On Demand, HBO.com, podcasts and related portals. In other words, there will be virtually no missing the backstories about Prop Joe and Omar as kids or McNulty's first day on the job.... In other cop-show news, Law & Order:... read more be the first to leave a comment
I honestly don't like Elliot ... | Matt Roush | 12/3/2007
Question: I honestly don't like Elliot and Kathy together on Law & Order: SVU. Whenever they come close to realizing that they're not right for each other, something ridiculous happens and they're back in it. They were separated, but then Kathy randomly got pregnant (which isn't a good reason to stay married to someone if you're having problems anyway), and then Elliot questioned Kathy about who the father was, and then she almost died in the longest, most ridiculous scene I've ever seen... read more be the first to leave a comment
Cheers: A Very Special SVU | Cheers & Jeers | 11/28/2007
Cheers to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for redeeming itself. After the "Blinded" fiasco of a few weeks ago, SVU bounced back with a classic episode. Standout guest star Mark Valley (as a man who discovers he's not the biological father of his son) got more dramatic meat to chew in an hour than he's had in three years on Boston Legal. And how about that shocker when Stabler's pregnant wife got into a car accident while Benson was driving? Mother and baby survived — and Stabler... read more be the first to leave a comment
Jeers: A Not-So-Special SVU | Cheers & Jeers | 11/14/2007
Jeers to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for cheating Christopher Meloni — and viewers — out of a potentially powerful plotline. The promos for this week's episode made it look like the Emmy-nominated star would be dealt a dramatic challenge when his character, Det. Elliot Stabler, gets blinded by a perp. As it turned out, Stabler only suffered temporary blurred vision, and the story gave miscast guest star Arye Gross (as a schizophrenic serial rapist) and generic supporting... read more be the first to leave a comment
Janine Turner Takes a Turn on SVU | Today's News: Our Take | 11/8/2007
Janine Turner wants people to know she's back. The fondly remembered Northern Exposure star (and long-ago fiancée of Alec Baldwin) who's been living on a Texas ranch raising her daughter and writing a book about single motherhood, has moved to New York and won a role in Law & Order: SVU. (Luckily for her, the episode — in which she plays an activist in a story about stolen embryos — is filming this week, just under the writers'-strike wire.) Turner, whose last TV work was the... read more be the first to leave a comment
Casting: Molly Shannon Moms Up for Kath and Kim | Today's News: Our Take | 10/3/2007
Saturday Night Live alumna Molly Shannon is set to star as Kath in Kath & Kim, NBC's pilot adapted from an Australian comedy. The role of the daughter has yet to be cast, says the Reporter.... Sopranos shrink Lorraine Bracco has joined the Lifetime pilot Long Island Confidential, playing mom to a female detective (Alison Elliott).... Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T's real-life (and astoundingly proportioned) wife, Coco, will play the widow of a dead wrestler in an upcoming episode of the... read more be the first to leave a comment
Ratings: Prancing Stars, Cranky House Are Tops | Today's News: Our Take | 9/26/2007
ADDENDUM: Veronica Mars drew 3.3 mil in each of its last two season premieres, since many were asking.On this first "real" Tuesday of the new ratings season, as Dancing with the Stars' all-male revue averaged 18.34 million total viewers over its 90-minute run:8 pm/ETNCIS' shinier, happier backstage mood paid off on-screen, as it (13.65 mil) outperformed last year's premiere by 530 thou. Bones (8.25 mil) was down 16 percent versus its own previous opener. With three mil, Beauty and the Geek... read more be the first to leave a comment
The New Season: Busy Enough for You? | Matt Roush | 9/25/2007
Already playing catch-up on only the second day of the official TV season. Geez, how will we ever survive Wednesdays and Thursdays? (Pause here for a silent prayer to the powers that protect my DVRs.)Anyway, the biggest news on Monday was how Heroes would bounce back from a first-season finale that disappointed many (I was not among them, but then, my expectations for this uneven show haven’t always been all that high). I was mostly enthralled, once I got over yet another tedious Mohinder... read more be the first to leave a comment
I've seen two commercials ... | Matt Roush | 9/24/2007
Question: I've seen two commercials advertising that new, original episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent will be airing on USA. It took the second one for it to click in my head. What's this all about? A major franchise show moving to cable? The USA site says the episodes will encore on NBC. Is this a reversal of NBC encoring Heroes on Sci Fi, as I think they will do with Bionic Woman this fall? How will this work in the ratings? Psych just got renewed as the top cable show in its time... read more be the first to leave a comment

Ratings: Idol Lead-out Could Do a Lot Better | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2007
This Tuesday's ratings, at a glance:• American Idol's final performance show delivered 24.51 million total viewers, a 1.2 mil bump from last Tuesday but down 5.7 mil from a year ago. Lead-out On the Lot, vying with the Dancing with the Stars finale, premiered to just 8.97 mil — less than half of the audience retention House was getting — and not at all helped by 9:30 tune-out to the tune of four mil.• DWTS bowed out before 22.6 mil, down 4.6 mil from its previous... read more be the first to leave a comment
