Law & Order canceled at last

It took 20 years for it to happen, but wouldn't you know it, Law & Order was canceled by NBC this Friday:
NEW YORK (AP) - There was never any doubt that, someday, "Law & Order" would come to an end.

But the death sentence handed down by NBC on Friday caught many observers by surprise. Viewers weren't prepared to say farewell to this beloved TV warhorse. Not this way, with this sort of abruptness. And not with it on the brink of entering the history book as TV's longest-running drama.

What had been intended as the 20th-season finale, a solid but unexceptional episode, will air May 24 as the series conclusion. This would seem an injustice to the show's proud legacy. And an unceremonious end for its fans.
Wrong. This was a justice long in coming. The series went off the rails and down the drain long ago with leftism, something it actually had almost ever since the beginning, but don't think the Associated Pinheads will agree to admit that.
Maybe there weren't enough fans (this season, viewership has averaged 7.3 million viewers, the show's lowest ever and less than half the number at its height a decade ago). Maybe the show was too expensive to produce. Maybe NBC just thought it was too old.
The debate about whether it's too old is a worthy one, but then so is the debate about whether it's long become too leftarded for its own bad. And doesn't the rating tell something? People just couldn't be bothered to care anymore. It told all the stories that were drawn from the headlines, and sadly warped to the leftists favor.

It's ending couldn't come soon enough. We've just got its spinoffs to worry about now (Special Victims Unit, Criminal Intent, and a new Los Angeles-based series).

Update: here's Entertainment Weekly's announcement.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
