Not a surprise (Bill and I both gave it a 100% chance of renewal) but NBC has renewed Law & Order: SVU for a fourteenth season and also picked up Dick Wolf's new firefighter drama Chicago Fire.

    Yeahhhh, SVU go on!!!!!!

  2. Harris

    Headline should be ABC still hasn’t early renewed anything, freakin’ jerks!

  3. SherLOCKED (The Mighty Cringe)

    wow…did not realize SVU has been on for 14 seasons.

    Chicago Fire will most likely not do well. I say that because fire fighter dramas never really work.

  4. Sid

    Excited for CHICAGO FIRE :)

  5. Lane

    SVU will last till Season 17.

    I wish Chicago Fire was actually about the MLS team with the same name. :)

    On broadcast, you mean. Rescue Me ran for seven seasons on FX.

    What are the chances that NBC only orders procedurals to series? Pretty high I think.

    I’ll watch Chicago Fire, I hope it wont be the next “Trauma” :)

  10. Petar

    Good news for NBC! I think they must pair it and may work pretty well for them!

    @Matt,

    Is Revolution a procedural? *goes to find description*

  12. Petar

    @Matt

    Their third strong drama is County wich is teen ER/teen Grey or something like it. So no only procedurals!

  13. Petar

    ooops we forgot Hannibal. This may turn into best drama class from 10 years for NBC. Hope and sitcoms are good. Especially go on.

    So….

    Law and Order: Pyromaniac Edition

    Didn’t “Third Watch” run for at least 6 seasons, if not more? Which was also an NBC series. I personally think the timing is right for this once, especially since it won’t have to be a blockbuster out of the gate on NBC.

    And Third Watch ran for six seasons from 1999 to 2005, although that included paramedics and police alongside the firefighters. But Chicago Fire will probably have that too.

    @ SherLOCKED – um, Third Watch on NBC? :)

    Good for Chicago Fire, whatever for L&O. I want a Parenthood renewal, come on NBC!

    On a serious note is Mariska committed for the whole season, only X episodes or only till episode Y?

    I suspect Chicago Fire is not about Mrs Mcleary’s cow!

    If Richard Belzer in the 14th Season further part of the cast, are the 21 years John Munch! A new record for a role on TV.
