I really hope they pick it up again

Law and Order: Los Angeles was my second favorite Law and Order after SVU. I loved it. Sometimes it was even on par with it. I know some of you didn't like Skeet. He's handsome, but he also was a bit too insignificant for my taste.

Loved Terence Howard and Molina though, even Corey Stroll started to grow on me. Alana De La Garza is an amazing beauty and Megan Boone was awesome as well.

I even think that the intro of the retooled version is the best Law and Order opening clip ever. Actually I find myself watching it a few times everytime I finish up an episode.

The stories weren't so bad as some guys on these boards want them to be as well. So, what was the real problem? They should have given the show time. It's as simple as that. It would have been another great Law and Order. It had all the right ingredients (except LA maybe, this city is so overused on american TV, an over-saturation has been visible for ages now). It had a very charismatic cast (something Law and Order Trial by Jury lacked), good stories and would have developed into the right direction. BOTH versions would have been capable of growing a fan-base, peronally I prefered the Retool.

I really hope NBC comes to mind and picks it up again in the next years.

Though I have never seem Trial By Jury I loved LA. I agree that with time the show could have survived.

I didn't start watching the original until the last couple of years that it originally aired but have since caught up on the majority of the episodes through TNT & Netflix. However, I simply cannot watch the early episodes, I just can't get into the characters and don't know why, but I can't stand the actor that plays Ben Stone.

However, I think that L&O:L.A. got off to a VERY good start with some interesting multiple episodes plot lines, etc. And I especially liked the fact that they brought back ADA Rubirosa she was one of my favorite ADAs and also the characters portrayed by Alfred Molina, Rachel Ticotin and Skeet Ulrich all seemed very intersting and in a sense, real.

So, obviously, I agree with you it should come back. I'd even settle for a TV movie wrapping up the plot line concerning Skeet Ulrich and his partner's search for revenge.

YES! This is the exact same thing I've been saying since this awesome show was cancelled.

As it was in the beginning,
So shall it be in the end,
That bullsh*t is bullsh*t,
It just goes by different names.
