I'm not sure how, @matthew_stechel:disqus - given the only cast member who'd been there more than five years was Sam Waterston, and he'd been relegated to being the Big Boss. Kind of sucked that they couldn't just let the series beat Gunsmoke's record….

@avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus - Having watched Chicago Justice with my wife the other night? Chicago Greek Diners could only be an improvement.

And maybe a now-and-then guest appearance by somebody from one of the old shows, @tavernacle:disqus .

Sure they did, @avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus ! All Jay Leno - ALL the Time!

Ohh - that hurts too much to be funny, @bradvalachovic:disqus ….

I think every broadcast network beat you to you it by about two decades, @avclub-3b82b1d883a5bf2defbc7567e9815d96:disqus .

Dun! Dun!

Wouldn't that be Criminal Minds, @avclub-e5e75678d9346d88878b7c95b97eac68:disqus ?

Every episode, @space_robot:disqus .

Naw, if Christopher Meloni had stayed, he'd have ended up in prison, beating the living crap out of every tough nut who looked at him funny, @avclub-5e5e0bd5ad7c2ca72b0c5ff8b6debbba:disqus !

onsidering Hargitay has been nominated for eight Emmys, six SAG awards, and two Golden Globes for her role as Lt. Olivia Benson

You're right, @vajayjayleno:disqus - Zatanna as a FBI Magical Consultant would absolutely be worth watching…and given it's The CW, not just for the obvious reasons.

I would totally watch Nathan Fillion and Angela Lansbury solve stupid murder mysteries together, @avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus .

@Aynwrong:disqus - well, sure! Frakes always seemed to have the same "This is crap - so we're just going take the piss out of it!" air as Alfred Hitchcock had when he hosted his television series, only crossed with his channeling Riker at his most piratical.

I hated both equally, @disqus_gqd5xIyei0:disqus and @robertmaitlandarchitect:disqus !

If they'd crossed Forever Knight with Renegade, and pulled in that USA Network show about a lady sports psychiatrist which I never watched, they'd have had it in one, @Aynwrong:disqus.

turns to the only place where a disgraced master prestidigitator can truly employ their talents: The Federal Bureau Of Investigation. (To be fair, they apparently have some openings at the moment.)

::Harrumph!:: uh - Yah, me too, @spuddie:disqus. But - ya know, we already got Alex and Maggie, and it kind of works dramatically to have Kara's Big Sister and Closest Friend challenging Kara's own unconscious sense of Straight Privilege.

That has to be nice for Kara, @spuddie:disqus - and for Lena as well, having a reporter friend who's more Friend than Reporter.

@spuddie:disqus - That makes Lena a bit too much "a Luthor", therefore Luthors Are Inherently E-VIL!
