USA Pushing Law and Order: CI Premiere To 2009
October 30th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Email | Share | TweetUSA Network has pushed back the eighth-season premiere of Law & Order: Criminal Intent to first-quarter 2009 says The Hollywood Reporter. The show, originally intended to return to the schedule next week and air as a split season, will now have an uninterrupted 16-week run when it returns with new cast member Jeff Goldblum. “The show is in great shape,” a spokesperson said. “USA believed that ‘CI’s’ new season was so strong that it would be best presented in an uninterrupted run of 16 episodes. As a strategic move based on the overall TV landscape and in this economy, it made sense to maximize the value of ‘CI’ by moving to 2009.” Law & Order: Criminal Intent aired for its first six seasons on NBC, but was relegated to USA last season to avoid cancellation.
I appreciate the fact that you are placing the best interest of the show first. I thank you for that. I think that it one of the very few shows that has not become stale after all these years. I eagerly await the premiere.
Sincerely,
Sandy Jordan
