First SVU Spinoff brings back original star Christopher Meloni. Awesome. I still like that show, but he was the best. While it will be his own show, they are already hinting that there will at least be an SVU crossover of some kind. Can't wait! Big fan of Meloni.

Never say never, but to have an SVU spinoff also set in NYC starring Stabler that doesn't result in a Benson/Stabler reunion of some kind would be one of the more bizarre television choices of late. I wouldn't mind some scenes of Captain Benson laying down the law with him.

As for the show itself, I'm sure I'll give it a shot even though the organized crime part sounds lame already. Stabler's ever-present intensity and unshakable Catholicism were kind of a detriment to SVU by the end (if not before) so I wonder how different he'll be as well as how much of Stabler's personal life they'll blow up. Last we saw he was still married with 30 kids, do you think he's added to the brood by now?

Well I'm sure he'll get worked into the Chicago PD, FBI, SVU deal that Wolf just signed. Chicago PD and FBI are having the first major network crossover between CBS.

It would be super cool if they somehow worked the Criminal Intent crew back in. I did enjoy that one the most back in the day, though that one was obviously the most like a Columbo type breed where they always get the guys to confess without any evidence.

I am dead.


This is the best news.
