The New York Times is reporting that NBC has officially canceled Law & Order. Awwww. But that show had been on for a long time! Of course, in the same breath, the New York Times confirms that NBC has picked up Law & Order: SVU for another season, and given the greenlight to a brand new spin-off, Law & Order: LA. Those combined with the continuation of Law & Order reruns playing in perpetual syndication everywhere always means that for the most part there is still going to be SO MUCH Law & Order. And yet. That was a good show! It’s intersting! Although, I am not sure that I’ve ever seen a new episode on the night it originally aired. Because if I was watching a new episode of Law & Order on the night it originally aired, I would probably start making lists of life goals and more efficient ways to prioritize my time, and if I had done that I probably wouldn’t be here with you goons.
Goodbye, Law & Order. You will be missed. You are in heaven now, SUSTAINing the angels.
Perhaps the thing I will miss about you most are John Mulaney’s jokes about you:
R.I.P. John Mulaney’s Law & Order jokes. (Just kidding, those will never die.)
Also, if you feel like it, I highly recommend listening to this interview with the show’s creator, Dick Wolf (DICK WOLF!), from a 2005 episode of NPR’s Fresh Air. It is an interesting interview!

My favorite drinking game when I go see plays is to drink for each member of the cast who has been in an episode of Law & Order. Finish your drink if you find someone who has been in the trifecta.
If it’s someone I immediately recognize, like the medical examiner or someone like that, I like to go “duh duh!” in my head/under my breath whenever there’s a scene/light change too.
PUSSY CAT!
And of course, Law & Order remains popular in syndication.
I’m still not 100% sure that there wasn’t secretly just one episode of Law and Order, and they just switched around the names and who the culprit a bit
We can all just make our own Law & Order episodes, by watching the first half of one episode followed by the second half of another.
L&O fans across the nation are going to pour a bottle of Ensure on its grave.
Lol. They moved it to LA so they could throw in more boobs and fleshlights.
That’s why I moved to LA!
Partly.
The only thing worthwhile Law & Order has ever given me is @arnettwill playing air guitar to the theme song on Late Night with @ConanOBrien.
don’t forget the dogs howling at it
just another reason for me to hate nbc.
“WHEN YOU kill one LAW AND Order, TWO MORE SHALL pop up to TAKE ITS PLACE. Either that OR RERUNS OF FUCKIN The Marriage Ref.” – Nick Madson.
Maybe this isn’t true, you guys. Maybe this is only 18 minutes into the episode so you know there’s a crazy twist coming. I hope so. RIP Law & Order. You will be missed (by me).
Yeah that shifty TV executive won’t be the man, it will be some janitor in Jersey

OMG, I so want to be John Mulaney’s Nick Madson. I’m booking a flight to Iowa now.
Coming Soon — Law & Order: Joke Patrol.
i’m not too broken up about this because law and order, like nyc rap, hasn’t been nearly as good since giuliani. that fucker ruined everything i cared about in this world.
And thus Gabe remains as the oldest active thing on the planet.
This guy knows what I am talking about!
Also, Oil Disaster.
Dang, I n00b out on my embedded pic:

pwned
Can’t wait for “Law & Order: Los Angeles” though. Hopefully they’ll have guys selling oranges near freeway exits who are too busy to answer the detectives’ questions!
Can we do this for all major cities?
Is Law & Order going to leave its eyes to one lucky New Yorker like Jerry Orbach did when he died?
or to stevie wonder like ferris bueller did.
Maybe it’s because of my big crush on Jeremy Sisto aka crazy bro from Six Feet Under that wanted to fuck his sister but I’m kinda sad about this.
Freeze!
The only episode of Law & Order that I have ever seen.

do you guys remember on the sopranos when christopher (aka spider from good fellas) called it “Law and Order SUV”?
I was all like “HA ha you meant to say SVU”
All right, what the hell, I’ll upvote this.
Now, back to my hunch!
John Mulaney did that whole routine without moving his lips.

Gabe, can you give me the Videogum cheat code so I can upvote this forever?
Thank God for syndication. John Mulaney can do that piece for years to come!
(I don’t mean this in a “he’s a hack and doesn’t write new material” way, I mean it in a “I love this bit and want to hear it forever” way)
I hope Paul F Tompkins as Ice-T has something to say about this…
John Mulaney’s bit was literally my first thought when I heard the news! I even scooped Videogum tweeting it! (I’ll take my winnings in Internets, thank you.)
But seriously, any time you want to get a John Mulaney promise going, I’m on board. I may actually just get a jump on things and send in 100% John Mulaney related tips.
Do we get to keep fairly perverted SVU?
Hey, what’s up with Jack McCoy???
