'Law & Order: Los Angeles' Shortens Name - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dick Wolf has said that, after the creative revamp of Law & Order: Los Angeles, it will resemble closer the mothership Law & Order series. And now LOLA is doing exactly what L&O famously did - take a big local crime story and do a fictional version of it. An upcoming episode of the spinoff, which is now filming, features a storyline clearly inspired by the recent murder of top Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen. In the episode, entitled Benedict Canyon, a famous Hollywood stylist is murdered in what initially appears a random robbery gone bad. But, while in the case of Chasen the investigation ruled the murder just that - the result of a random robbery - the case on LOLA takes multiple turns and gets more sinister as dark family secrets are revealed.

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed viewers probably noticed that in the new NBC promos for the April 11 return of LOLA, the title of the show is listed as Law & Order: LA. Along with the show, its title is getting a makeover too - it is being shortened from the original Law & Order: Los Angeles.

They should bring the original L&O theme back. When I saw it wasn't on the first episode I quit. It's first impressions Dick.

I'd like to see a theme song added too I always liked how all the different L&O series had their own variation(s) of the theme song. I'd like to see what they'd come up with for LA.

It seems like, they wanted to do something really different with the series; but now it's being "revamped" to be more like the other L&O shows. I noticed this starting after the pilot, a lot of people criticized it. (it reminds me of "Star Trek Enterprise." they wanted to distance themselves and reach a 'broader audience' from the other series; it was simply titled "Enterprise" for the first two seasons, before adding "Star Trek" to the title.)
