Well, it’s good news for Dick Wolf at NBC.
His Wednesday line up of “Chicago” shows will all be back next season.
So will “Law & Order,” and “SVU,” for more stories ripped from today’s headlines.
But Christopher Meloni’s “Law & Order Organized Crime” is teetering on cancellation. So far NBC will only say they’re in discussions. But “OC” has never built a loyal viewing base. Still no one knows what it’s about after three seasons. I’ve tried to watch it to no avail. I don’t get it.
If NBC cancels “Organized Crime” that will lessen Wolf’s stranglehold on the network. If NBC keeps it, or moves it to Peacock, which is possible, Meloni and everyone else involved would have to take pay cuts.
“Organized Crime” did show some spark of a rating last week when it ran against “Station 19” on ABC. If Meloni’s fans tune in tonight with some heft, maybe they’ll keep their show.
