NBC Announces the 2007-08 Television Schedule
It's a week full of television bliss and NBC kicks off the fun with five new and exciting dramas. In a surprising 11th hour move, NBC renewed Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Criminal Intent is not on the primetime schedule as it has been moved over to USA Network, where new episodes are scheduled to air first before they come over to NBC's encore drama night. All in all, an exciting fall awaits us on NBC!
Canceled: Crossing Jordan, The Black Donnellys and Studio 60
