“[…] “No„ let’s go now. It’s horrible to be late, don’t you think so, Ruth?”
“No, Ruth is unable to be on time,” said Phil. “If she happens to be early, she’ll do something—wallpaper the bathroom or begin to learn to play the flute—anything to avoid the terrible fate of being on time.”
“How extraordinary, Phil, and you so anxious always about lateness,” Sylvie said. “This must be love at last.””

The goal of the project is to create a safe space for dialogue about abusive and manipulative behaviors, the lasting impact of experiencing or witnessing violence in one’s home, and the role of support systems in these circumstances.

NBC Eyes ‘Law & Order’ Limited Series

Is this a chance to see Alex and Bobby back on screen as well?

by Nellie Andreeva • tip February 6, 2015 12:23pm

Network sources caution that this is an idea that has been discussed from time to time, and a Law & Order limited series is not in active development at the moment. Still, there has been movement. I hear the network has been exploring the possibility of re-assembling the cast from the early years of the series. I hear several actors have been approached, including original cast members Chris Noth and Sam Waterston, who did not join the show until Season 5 but are the actors most closely associated with the Law & Order brand. I hear NBC is eyeing 10 new Law & Order episodes. The network had no comment.

A new Law & Order installment may help the series get into the history books — albeit with an asterisk. The crime drama’s shocking May 2010 cancellation after 20 seasons came as it had tied Gunsmoke for the longest-running primetime drama series. A limited run could be counted as Season 21, breaking the tie. It also could provide a nice epilogue for one of NBC’s most important series of the last two decades after it didn’t get the send-off it deserved with that abrupt, eleventh-hour cancellation.

That would also be a nice gesture to Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, for whom the legacy of the blockbuster franchise has been very important. He again is the most important drama producer for NBC — three from the five drama series given early renewal by the network yesterday are from Wolf Films: Law & Order spinoff SVU, which also has a shot at history with a Season 17 pickup, Chicago Fire, and its spinoff Chicago PD. Additionally, Wolf is working on further expanding the Chicago Fire franchise with a second spinoff, Chicago Med. 

The currently very popular limited series genre lends itself well to bringing back beloved series. Fox did it successfully with 24 and is mulling a second limited series installment. Netflix did it with Arrested Development. NBC and Showtime are next with Heroes Reborn and Twin Peaks, respectively. Will Law & Order follow suit?

Picture of the Week

Yesterday I watched CI season 1 Faith again. I hadn't watch a whole Criminal Intent episode in ages.

 

Plus Vincent tweeted about the show. Sigh, so good memories.
