  • I think it` so frustrating and annoying that these american production companies pull the plug on programmes so quickly. I loved this and think Skeet should have remained. Just because they may not have the ratings these moguls want in america ,does not mean that it would not fare well here as us brits Iove law & order . PLEASE,PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!

  • have to agree with all that's said before.....diabolical scheduling
    Detective Rex Winters Skeet Ulrich now needs to be taken off schedules
    the show was really cooking and them Bam..disaster for the artists
    I bet Alfred Molina's happy at his DA re instatement !

  • How can you show one of the best characters killed off, then he comes back further into the series, this is worse than Bobby Ewing and the "Dream" story. I fully agree with mark lucey, we watch a lot of programmes on this channel , but do get fed up with only so many series shown and then they come back round again. I am housebound so rely on good entertainment to help me through the day. Please do not insult our inteligence by doing the Law & order LA storyline in any format again..Long live Rex Winters, will enjoy watching the next few episodes with him in, oh and why does Alana have to disappear as Winters returned, we shall end up very confused. Do any other viewers have the same views? Cheers.

  • I believe that what has happened is that the episodes have been numbered incorrectly and, therefore, shown in the wrong order! Why else would Alana appear whilst still in the original Law and Order, surely they would have to write her out of that series first! Regarding Detective Rex Winters, I thought at the time that it was strange a character would get written out of a series so early on, now we know that he wasn't! You would have thought that a channel like Universal would have picked up on this before putting the episodes out to air!! Mind you, they did a similar thing with Falcon Crest - they once aired the day befores episode, even though the EPG write-up was for the correct episode, and it was a crucial episode too that we never got to see! I think somebody at Universal should create a job where someone checks that the correct episodes are being aired - does anybody else agree?

  • Det Winters was great why kill him off. as i am here what happened to cold case s6 in went from s5 to s7 .

  • Im confused detective winters got shot couple weeks ago how come hes back not that im complaining hes great good looking to

  • Agree that Skeet Ulrich left a bit early but I understand it was his personal wish. Think the programme is excellent. I have enjoyed all Law & Order series and thought as this was based in LA that it would be full of posers and barby dolls like most series based there for example NCIS LA. I also understand that there are no plans to make any more series of LOLA after this one. Shame, Shame, Shame.

  • I agree, why has 1 of the best characters been killed off so early in a new series? Did he jump or was he pushed and if so why?

    Alfred Molina taking over the role is a bit far fetched, can't see him getting very far in a footchase!! Terence Howard or a new face would have been better in this role. I still think Mr Molina is a very good actor just not suited to this role.

  • why has the best actor part in the new law & order , been shot dead already , its not been the same without him , Skeet Ulrich Det Winters
    many great problems on this channel , but the problem is they show the same episode over and over when they have been shown already , start over again , one of the best channels , thanks
