Ever since Fox successfully brought back 24 last year for a limited run it seems like everyone is dipping into their history to see what great old show can also be revived. The network is supposedly seriously working now to bring back the cult classic The X-Files next and rumor has it that NBC has decided to kick around the idea of reviving a Dick Wolf classic, the original Law & Order.
According to a report by Deadline, NBC is contemplating bringing back L&O for a ten-episode run with some of the most familiar series' stars like Chris Noth and Sam Waterston. The show was originally canceled back in 2010 right after its twentieth season, tying with Gunsmoke as the longest running series ever. At the time, many fans felt that the show wasn't given a proper send-off as it was axed at the last minute giving writers no time to lay the groundwork for a decent ending.
Wolf, as the creator of the L&O franchise, has always been very protective of his shows and no doubt would love to bring his characters back to make history in a 21st season, one that would break the record book tie. It would also give him the opportunity to properly put the beloved characters to rest. Should NBC jump on the limited-run bandwagon and let fans revisit the original and often groundbreaking crime series?
