LAW & ORDER May Move
To TNT If NBC Drops It??

I am – Hercules!!

Broadcasting & Cable reports:

NBC Universal is considering a scenario in which original episodes of the low-rated but highly lucrative Law & Order would shift from NBC to TNT after this season, with production continuing at a drastically reduced price.

TNT already pays $1 million per episode for the show’s repeats. The show’s current budget is (somehow) $4 million per episode.

One wonders how this show would cut corners. Would they just cast hungrier actors as the cops and lawyers?

If it happens, I hope it happens more often. Too often we see great shows banished from broadcast outlets that I know would thrive on cable.

Nothing can happen, though, until Monday, when NBC announces whether “Law & Order” will be on its autumn slate.
