So apparently Goren and Eames are leaving the show on season premier in March. Goldblum will be the star. Can you say CANCELLED?
Imagine if Stabler and Benson left SVU. This is the same thing.

Then it would be the Ice T & Munch Show and it would still be awesome.

I love Munch and Finn, but Benson and Stabler are the heart and soul of the show.

Criminal Intent sucks anyways.
Common conversation in our living room:
Me: "Ooo, Law and Order is on. I'll watch it with you."
Wife: "It's Criminal Intent"
Me: "Oh...well, I'll be on the computer.

Oh, please please please let that happen. Let's bring back Novak and ship Hwang back off to Washington while we're at it.
Ice-T is the best thing that happened to that show.

Criminal Intent has a fanbase, but Goren is the show. No Goren = no show.

Criminal Intent tanked the moment it aired.
SVU > all

Great show. I would hate to see it get canceled.

Urgh, SERIOUSLY? Way to kill the show.
And yeah, I TOTALLY agree that SVU would still be awesome without Benson and Stabler. Fin and Munch crack me up, and episodes where one of them gets a bigger than usual part are always my absolute favorites.

Having read some more background on this, NBC apparently wants Criminal Intent to fail. The longer a show runs, the more expensive it is. The powers that be have apparently tried to kill CI for years, moving it to the USA, but the show has succeeded despite those changes. But apparently Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) were pretty much flat out fired. The Goldblum episodes consistently brought in poorer ratings than the Goren/Eames ones, and producer Dick Wolf's contract says the show has to maintain a certain rating to stay on. If an all Goldblum season does poorly, which it will, NBC can finally cancel it. This is bullshit.

Can I really be the only person to appreciate the fact that Ice-T, of Ice-T and Body Count fame, who performed "Cop Killa" is on Law and Order?
Honestly, I couldn't give a fuck about any of these shows. I can appreciate other people liking them, but I've never seen an episode.

 Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much. |

I think we've all pretty much gotten past that. Especially since Ice-T's the fucking man, on or off the show.
