I know I promised to talk about some of the hottest sites on the net right now, but another topic has come up that I think you would all like to read about. 

On Thursday night, or maybe even earlier, we recieved word that the 'Law and Order' mothership series could be at risk of being cancelled.  Most of us really just shrugged it off because we assumed Dick Wolf was still set on making the record, beating 'Gunsmoke' as the longest drama ever aired. 

 But we found out very quickly that these rumors were in fact true, and the series finale would air May 24th.  Many of the Law and Order fans were in total shock.  Some even have questioned the chances of the fellow Law and Order series, SVU and CI of being on the chopping block as well.  While we are assured that SVU will be renewed for a 12th season, USA Network is still deciding if they will be ordering a 10th season of CI. 

We have also learned that the recent decision to get rid of L&O is to make way for Wolf's new idea; Law and Order: LA.  While NBC is excited about putting the mothership in the past and putting LOLA in the future, fans don't think that it will last long. 

Even though Criminal Intent remains my favorite one out of the three, it was still a blow to hear that the mothership was leaving.  I also question how well they will send off the show.  Because they have been advertising for 24th air date to be the season finale, not the series.  Which means that they may need to tweak it to give the show a finishing touch.  Otherwise, they may see alot of fans camping out at NBC headquarters all over the country!

What do you think about all of this recent changes?  This isn't the first time this year that we have seen massive changes.  Let's not forget the cast changes of Criminal Intent that has sent fans in an uproar.  So do you think this new change will effect the other shows and potentially the new upcoming show?  Post your comments!
