LAW & ORDER: LA and THE EVENT Cancelled

law and order la the event
There are two more victims in this year’s cancellation round for NBC. The network has just axed LAW & ORDER: LA and THE EVENT according to TVLine.

Neither one of these cancellations come as a surprise. The Event had been losing more and more viewers (me included) and it still doesn’t seem like we know what the heck is going on.

As for Law & Order: Los Angeles, well NBC tried to revamp it by getting rid of Skeet Ulrich and promoting Alfred Molina to detective. Unfortunately, that still didn’t do the trick.

With LOLA gone, we are left with only two Law & Order shows still on the air and that doesn’t even include the original, which was cancelled last May. However, even CI and SVU haven’t picked up yet, although SVU is getting close to a renewal.

So what do you think? Are you sad to see The Event go? What about LOLA? Do you think it deserved more of a chance or are you happy with CI and SVU?

Well, that’s just great. I seem to be the kiss of death for all sci-fi type shows. Let’s see, I watched Firefly…canceled, Sarah Connor Chronicles…..canceled, Stargate Universe…canceled, V…canceled, The Event….canceled. Hey actors and actresses in TV sci-fi land. Sick of the show you’re in. Just give me a call, I’ll watch it and I’ll guarantee you it’ll be off the air within 1 season. No scratch that, bet I can get you onto your next project by mid-season; I’m that good.

Typical treatment for the SciFi genre. I am surprised that people don’t get what is going on with the Event. Must be reality TV fans.

The Event is a good show. It’s no Lost, but it’s good and was getting better. Sci-Fi shows just don’t get any love with the general public. Firefly, Invasion, FlashForward & The Event are four Sc-Fi shows that were actually quite good that got canceled within the first season. Such a shame.

Sorry firefly was good got sched issues cause of sports the others had half but writing. Plots were ok but u need chars that r real nd interesting the other shows had none

Jake

How do u nt know what is going on in a bad show like event. Aliens need to kill all of us to save the planet Nuff said. Yeah real complex story line, if they hired better writers to do the fill in maybe the show would still be around. Plot fine, char develop a joke, casting was spotty, Lelia char lame, as was her boyfriend.

I kind of figured that Law and Order: LA wouldn’t last after one of their main characters was killed before the first season was even over. Other characters also left. It’s a shame.
sick of it

amazing every show that is a little bit original gets cancelled before it gets going…………..but we will keep Two and a Half Men going forever.

Figures

SVU is the best!!! I’m only concerned with it being renewed.

V, The Event and No ordinary family, my made my week. The rating may be down in the US but what about the rest of the world. I think I’ve had enough now. I’ll be sticking to comedies from now on.

How about the network stops taking the 12 week midseason break…..Maybe the ratings wouldn’t plummet. Annoying. So many lost too soon…..surface, invasion, flash forward, Happy town……..boooo

Skeet Ulrich is great, but I didn’t like him in LOLA. But I love LOLA after the revamp, and I’m sad to see it go. It’s fresh, and smart. This Law and Order does a great job of featuring both the law enforcement side and the justice side of things. Terrence Howard is excellent in this role.

What the hell? The Event needs to be picked up by another network or netflix. I agree that the writing wasn’t up to par with the storyline. However, the storyline kept me watching to learn what happens next. And the season finale was a 9 out of 10. Transporting a whole dying planet in our backyard between the moon & earth was as NBC use to say “Must see TV” Tv has changed in recent years. The networks seems to have two seasons. Shows run from Sept to Dec, then take a 3 months break to return in March to May. I missed a few episodes because of these changes to new networks scheduling. Why do shows like the bachelor & bachelorette, survivor, and etc keeps getting renewed. Has Hollywood given up on storyline tv shows???
