This is news for the fans of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" now airing on USA network. The news is mixed. Some good and some not so good. The bad news is that it looks like the series is heading into its final season on air over on USA. The good news may or may not make up for that.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Vincent D'Onofrio is returning to the series in his former role as Detective Robert Goren. The actor left the series back during its eighth season on air. The series will return for its final season next year with eight episodes. There are also plans to try to bring back another departed series star, Kathryn Erbe. There are no plans to ask Jeff Goldblum back for the final season.

Jeff Wachtel, president of USA's original programming, had this to say about the return of the series on Tuesday: “We have been the fortunate caretakers of this legendary series, and we plan to give it the world-class farewell it so richly deserves.”

There is more though. It looks like the final season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent will be used as launch pad for another all-new series by Dick Wolf. If a spin-off happens it will be a series with Vincent D'Onofrio and his character Detective Robert Goren to star in. No word on when that series will debut, but a pilot commitment has been made for the new project.

It is being reported that the only reason why Law & Order: Criminal Intent is returning for this final season is because Vincent D'Onofrio agreed to return. USA Network seems to be on the cutting edge of programming and only growing in popularity. A new series from Dick Wolf should be exciting to see!

Take one down and pass it around.......

Baker's dozen

All I can say is, "YUM!"

cautious

If we are fortunate enough for the rumors to be true and Mr. D and Ms. E return to bid farewell to LO:CI, I pray that the idiots-that-be will do it right, with dignity AND with Deakins. The only way for Major Case to ride off into the sunset is with our 3 dear detectives TOGETHER.

TRUTH??????

BREAKING NEWS!!! USA Picks Up 'Law & Order: CI' For Final Season With Star Vincent D'Onofrio & Gives Dick Wolf Pilot Commitment For New Project

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Tuesday September 21, 2010 @ 1:00pm PDT


EXCLUSIVE: After months of negotiations, USA Network has closed a deal to bring Law & Order: Criminal Intent back for an 8-episode 10th season with the series' original star Vincent D’Onofrio, who will return as Detective Robert Goren, a role he played for the first eight seasons. Discussions are under way with Kathryn Erbe and other CI alums sans Jeff Goldblum, who recently announced his exit, to come back for the show's farewell season. Throughout the entire dealmaking process, USA's intention was to bring CI back only if D'Onofrio agrees to return.

Additionally, USA's production arm, Universal Cable Prods., which produces Law & Order: CI with Wolf Films, has handed Law & Order chief Dick Wolf a pilot commitment for a new project.

Law & Order: CI will return with new episodes next year. “We have been the fortunate caretakers of this legendary series, and we plan to give it the world-class farewell it so richly deserves,” said Jeff Wachtel, USA's president of original programming and UCP's co-head of original content.

He listed several factors that were key in the network's decision to push through with the deal. "First, it was to bring devoted audience for the finale and create an event," he said, noting that the sereis finale of USA's Monk still ranks as the highest-scripted cable telecast of all time. "Secondly, you have an opportunity to create a new launch pad," Wachtel said as the network plans to use the final season of CI to launch a new series or help an excisting series grow much like the final season of Monk was used to launch White Collar.

Given CI's big pricetag as an eight-year-old high-end procedural, especially as it started off on broadcast TV, making the deal was not easy, Wachtel said but praised NBC Cable chief Bonnie Hammer for her help in making it happen. "Everybody had to make concessions, but it is the hallmark of a good deal when everyone has to suffer equally: the network had to absorb some of the cost as did the studio, and Dick and the above-the-line talent were gracious in addressing a very specific set of circumstances."

"I want to thank Bonnie and Jeff for bringing Criminal Intent back for a tenth season,” Wolf said. “Only time will tell if this is a fond farewell or a renaissance for Detective Robert Goren but everyone both here and in New York is ecstatic about going back to work on a show that’s a passion for all of us. Signed, Brett Favre."

While this is the end, Wachtel left the door opened a bit. “The plan is for this to be the series finale, but with a Dick Wolf franchise, one really never knows until it’s over,” he said.

Priest Sipping Vodka

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "Well when I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. if I start to get nervous, I take a sip." So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me"
12. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
13. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's!

Challenge

Mr. D'Onofrio is talking about his pet project entitled "Johnny and Me." He is (so far, to some degree) writer, producer and director of this project. I really wish that he would star in this movie, also.

Past producer/writer/director/stars include: Mel Brooks, Robert Redford, John Wayne, George Clooney, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner. I wish that Mr. D'Onofrio could flex ALL of these muscles. I believe that he is more than capable. More than competent. More than qualified. And, IMHO at least as good of an actor as any of the aforementioned. All things aside, I truly believe that Mr. D'Onofrio is best suited for the lead part.

I have NO idea of what all of this entails. I'm willing to help. I'm willing to donate. I'm willing to work on the project.

This is my challenge to Mr. D'Onofrio.

Help, police!

On second thought, THIS is my kind of peeping Tom!
