Edit: It's official now, it's cancelled:http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/14/its-official-law-and-order-is-done/

That's shocking... I didn't watch the show, but still.

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Long-running TV crime series "Law & Order" was reported on Thursday to have been canceled by network NBC after 20 seasons.

But industry sources said talks about renewing the show's long association with NBC were continuing and no firm decision had been made.

NBC declined to confirm or deny a report on industry website www.deadlinehollywood.com that said the show would not return as part of the network's 2010-11 line-up starting in September.

The finale of the 20th season is due to be aired on May 24.

Entertainment website E! also reported that the show had been canceled and that the cast and crew were informed on Thursday of its fate.

"Law & Order" is one of U.S. television's most enduring series and currently ties with 1960s western "Gunsmoke" as the longest-running prime time drama. Both boast a 20-season run.

Animated Fox comedy "The Simpsons," now in its 21st season, is the longest running TV series in prime time.

Audiences for "Law & Order" have slipped in recent years to around 8 million viewers per episode from more than 18 million in 2002."

*Sighs* So long misleading, entertaining show of mine youth. May you rest in peace alongside L.A. Law and Boston Legal. You will be missed, greatly. In related news, I will be holding a candle light vigil for all those interested.

I like the scene transition sound. I've seen some episodes, but I think my dad has probably seen them all + most of the Special Victim's unit and Criminal Intents.

Where else will I get it? Books? Don't be ridiculous, Vandal. Law and Order is the known authority on law and order! :cry:

It did enjoy a rather long run. And one more thing. NBC cancelled Criminal Intent, but it found new life on USA. I'll adopt a wait and see.

Kind of. I've heard credible rumors that they are going to renew it for a 13 episode season though. We'll find out officially this Sunday.

I used to watch "L&O Criminal Intent" religiously. Then they started filling up the plots with Detective Goren's personal life. I wanted to see him catch crooks, not deal with his crazy mother.
