I am surprised to hear this. Noth has been vocal about his disagreements he had with Wolf ever since his contract wasn't extended after season 5. Not as vocal as Moriarty of course.

I'm not happy about this. Vincent D'Onofrio plays the perfect part. It's almost as if he's tortured. I would be sad to see him go.

Another vote for D'Onofrio MAKING CI. Without him, I'd cross it off my list...

That would rock!!!! I can't stand D'Onofrio and I especially can't stand the character - Mr. Know-it-all.

Since then I find his "Mr. Know-it-all-ness" less distracting and I can actually enjoy the show for a change. It is amazing how some small detail like that can allow for me to accept his character without getting mad at the ridiculousness of it.

Oh I knew that he was supposed to be Sherlock Holmes. I still hated the character.
I really longed for a crossover btwn CI and the Original just to see Briscoe's reaction to his omniscience.

Chris Noth returning to 'L&O' fold
Will become regular on 'Criminal Intent'
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Chris Noth's guest appearance this weekend on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" is the start of something big.
Noth, who left the original "Law & Order" 10 years ago, will become a regular on the spinoff beginning next season, series spokeswoman Pam Ruben Golum said Tuesday.
He will split duties with current series lead Vincent D'Onofrio, who's continuing as police Detective Robert Goren. Each actor will appear in 11 episodes for the fifth season. The NBC series airs at 9 p.m. EST Sunday.
Noth's casting will ease the work load for D'Onofrio, who was hospitalized briefly last year for exhaustion.
"The hardest job in show business is being a single lead on an hour drama series," said "Law & Order" creator and executive producer Dick Wolf. "Vincent has done an unbelievable job for the last four seasons, but after 3 1/2 years, the grueling pace finally took its toll."
He called Noth's addition to the show an "ideal solution."
Noth, who was Sarah Jessica Parker's love interest, Mr. Big, on HBO's "Sex and the City," will again play police Detective Mike Logan, his character from 1990-95 on "Law & Order."

Looks like I may become a semi-regular CI viewer.

I was never a big fan of Noth on L&O. I'll continue to watch the show, mainly b/c of D'Onofrio.

This news sucks.
D'Onofrio is the reason I watch this show. Not that I know whether Noth sucks or not, since i've never seen him on L&O, but this is disappointing news.

Well, on the flip side, D'Onofrio is the reason I don't watch this show. So for everyone of you, there is one of me.

I do not watch this show because the writing is horrible. Why have another detective in the city of NY when you have D'Onofrio? I like him, and I think he does a good job with the shitty character, but the writing is so distracting. It would have been a good series if they would have reeled in the character better and actually have the supporting cast be more involved then just being his gophers.
I will try and catch it this week, to see if Noth helps this series or not. Maybe he can go to TBJ if this does not work out.

One problem I have with the show, and I've seen this on several eps:
a suspect (maybe not even a suspect at that point, just an interviewee) and his lawyer are in the interrogation room, and Goren is SCREAMING at the suspect about two inches from his face, and the lawyer just sits there and watches it happen.
On L&O and other shows, if a detective or DA so much as asks a questions the lawyer doesn't like, the lawyer fires out a qucik "This interview is over."......
