If any Law & Order show needs to be on sci fi, it's the Goren episodes of Criminal Intent, where he can pull accurate crime scene scenarios out of his ass without any solid evidence, then yell at the suspect until he confesses while the defense lawyer sits there quietly sucking his thumb and doing nothing to protect his client.

Well, Detective Munch did appear in an X-Files episode, so technically that means the L&O shows (and Homicide) exist in the same universe as X-Files. ;)

Anyway, why don't they just change the name to USA2 and be done with it? It's clearly what (stop) Hammer-time wants.

Sorta like CSI.

Reminds me of a pic I saw online once. A closeup of Grissom, with the caption "Watch as this asshole and his friends perform miracles not even Jesus could pull off."

In this instance could we be rushing to judgement on who to blame?

NBC runs (and owns a chunk of) the Law & Order Franchise. NBC also owns the SciFi Channel.

Does anyone think that if the Powers That Be running NBC tell Bonnie Hammer that she's going to run L&O episodes on her crappy little sci-fi network, she's going to tell them no?

Yes, it's a stupid move. Yes, it's cheap filler for Sci-Fi when it runs out of programming. Yes, it's ideas like these that make me cringe when rumors of BSG moving to NBC reach my ears. But I venture a guess that NBC is dumber than Bonnie Hunter.

I venture a guess that NBC is dumber than Bonnie Hunter [sic].

As the <i>Braveheart</i> pic shows, Hammer will put anything on Sci Fi (sic). If she could get away with it, she'd be airing repeats of <i>Monk</i> and Meg Ryan comedies. Remember, this is the woman who asserted that television shows with spaceships are too geeky for their channel and are only meant for 12-year old boys. Of course, now that they've stumbled onto a monster hit, you won't hear that from her anymore ... at least not until the next time she heavily promotes two new seasons of what she calls her "flagship show" and then cancels it after only one.

In this case, who knows (or cares really) who is to blame. It's just another reminder that the Sci Fi Channel ... isn't.

And X-Files and Millennium are in the same universe, so maybe Benson's new partner on SVU can be Frank Black. :) The first thing they can investigate is where Munch's character development went.

I guess since The Undertaker, Kane, and Boogeyman have supernatural themes it qualifies. All part of Bonnie Hammer's evil master plan to turn Sci Fi Channel into USA2.

Looks like that was changed sometime yesterday, now it's 2 movies in those timeslots.

Well, if you want to look at it that way, Homicide crossed over with St. Elsewhere meaning that Homicide, the X-Files, and all of the Law and Order shows
Spoiler:
exist only in the imagination of an autistic boy with a snow globe
making all of them fantasy perhaps.
