Seven’s season of Law and Order: Los Angeles will be going head to head with TEN’s Law and Order: SVU from 8:40pm Thursday July 21.

The series starring Skeet Ulrich as Detective Rex Winters, who was introduced in an episode of SVU, following crimes set in Beverly Hills, the seedy side of Hollywood, and high-profile crimes on the West Coast.

Making the game even more interesting is the fact that SVU returns with a new episode on July 21, including a crossover appearance from Law & Order: LA‘s Det. Joe Dekker (Terrance Howard). Only in Australia do we get such quirks of programming!

“Hollywood”
Detectives Winters and Jaruszalski track the activities of a burglary ring that target the rich and famous, whose latest job escalated from simple burglary to assault. When one of the suspects ends up murdered during the next heist, the investigation leads to a twist which reveals the seedier side of the business.

The spin-off had one season on NBC.

  2. They should start from episode 14 – the first thirteen eps with Skeet Ulrich were horrible, wooden, dull, generic

    Yeah, that means they’d only have nine episodes before going back to the ‘preboot’ version, but still, better nine high-quality episodes than 13 generic ones.

  4. So if you are a fan of Law and Order and court room stuff, you will have a chance of three with “Crownies” also on Thursday nights at 8.30. Bring Back Judge John Deed and you would have a quadrella !

  5. Seven has won weeks this year even with dreadful programs like No Ordinary Family and Detroit 1-8-7, so there is no need for them to worry too much about ‘throwing away’ a few slots. Semi-arrogance, but it works for them.

    Rafters is very close to returning and that will steamroll Seven home for the rest of what is their best year ever (20 wins in 20 surveys this year).

  6. Well, for what its worth seeing as how I do not have a ratings box, I’ll be watching SVU and recording LA to watch at a later time. LA is a cancelled show, I’m sure S1 will be interesting, but not interesting enough to suck me in, knowing there is a limited number of eps.

  7. Because Detroit 1-8-7 and No Ordinary Family worked out so well?
    Maybe it is just that more new shows are getting axed in the US, but it has been years since so many already axed shows are getting primetime run here. Why can’t we go back to that time…

  8. Yeah, it’s so much easier to try and drag the opposition down rather than show respect for the viewer and program intelligently. Providing a genuine alternative to Ten’s SVU and scheduling LA as an alternative at another time would have been the best outcome for TV viewers but this is Seven we’re talking about. I’m still waiting for them to announce a renovation series for early in 2012 to try and induce fatigue in fans of The Block and The Renovators.

    Roll on IPTV.

  9. I am not a Law and Order Fan but if I was I would stick with SVU rather than LA. This is a very bad move by 7 and considering it only lasted one season L&O:LA will probably keep Nine in 1st place on Thursdays. Hamish and Andy will probably thrash it too and I am looking forward to that.

  14. I saw some of it while in LA. It’s good. Especially after they retooled it. Shame it got cancelled. The ads for it on 7 are quite appealing too!
