Another One Bites The Dust, USA Network Says 'Law & Order: CI' Is Done - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Though franchise founder Dick Wolf had been angling for Law & Order: Criminal Intent to earn a reprieve by delivering a solid 10th and final season, a resurrection simply won’t be happening, USA Network’s top brass tell TVLine.

Asked if there was any chance for a semi-miraculous save and Season 11 order, given the warm welcome that returning regulars Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe received, USA co-president Jeff Wachtel answered, “No — and this is said with respect for the show, respect for Dick [Wolf], and most significantly with respect to the audience.”

USA has too many new shows so they don't really need it anymore; the problem is that ALL of these new shows are based on the same basic formula, and some of them aren't any good - like Suits, Necessary Roughness, and we'll see about the upcoming ones they've been promoting...

No real surprise there - and with Meloni and Hargitay on their way out at SVU, Dick Wolf should probably just stick a fork in the entire franchise. He should make an all L&O channel - with the zillions of episodes they have from all the series put together...it makes perfect sense!!!
