That's the kind of rumor that's making rounds on cyberspace these days. Several reports stating that the Law & Order: Criminal Intent actor Jeff Goldblum is dead came hours after the death of actress Farrah Fawcett and minutes after a Los Angeles County coroner confirmed Michael Jackson had passed away.

All three deaths have sent shockwaves through the media but only two out of three are real. Goldblum's publicist has already denied the story.

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Fans of Law and Order: Criminal Intent will have to wait a little longer before they can enjoy new episodes of the crime procedural series. USA network has decided to push back the premiere of season 8 to 2009, just days before it was scheduled to kick off. This marks the second time the cable channel has shifted the show's return date. Originally, the network announced that the show would come back on Thursday, November 6 at 10/9c before opting to use it as a lead-in to The Starter Wife on Friday nights.

While no reason was given for any of the aforementioned changes, a spokesperson for Law and Order: Criminal Intent assured TV Guide that the show is in good shape but “based on the overall TV landscape and in this economy, it made sense to maximize the value" of the series by airing all 16 episodes in an uninterrupted run during the first quarter of 2009.

Last week's episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent marked Mike Logan's (Chris North) final appearance on the police procedural series. Tonight, fans will have to temporarily bid farewell to the rest of the cast as the show concludes its seventh season at 9pm on the USA Network.

Previously on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Logan jeopardized his and Wheeler's careers when a priest convinced him to re-open a murder case that's over a decade old which involves a politically-aspiring ADA who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

As reported previously, the show has signed on Jeff Goldblum as replacement for cast member Chris North, who will be departing from his character Detective Mike Logan to take on new movie roles.

Walon Green, Robert Nathan, John Coles, Michael S. Chernuchin, Andrew Lipsitz and Timothy J. Lea will be the new production team of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the series that takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes. The entire production team will work with show creator Dick Wolf and executive producer Peter Jankowski, who serves as executive producer of all three Law & Order series, as well as president and chief operating officer of Wolf Films, Inc.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent Returns with New Episodes Tonight

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Law & Order: Criminal Intent continues its run of remaining new season 7 episodes tonight, picking up six months following the December episode called “Untethered” where Det. Bobby Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) faced suspension for going against order by going undercover in a mental institution where he came dreadfully close to losing his mind.

Production of the seventh season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent was halted due to the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike when executive producer Warren Leight and the rest of the writing staff participated in the work stoppage. Because of this, only 10 out of the 22 episodes ordered were produced prior to the strike, with the first of the remaining season 7 episodes to be broadcast beginning tonight at 9pm on the USA network.

Tonight on 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent'

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:30:00 GMT

Last week, Law & Order: Criminal Intent returned to the NBC lineup after a season spent in airing on the network's sister cable station, USA. Viewers with access to cable programming have already witnessed Law & Order: Criminal Intent's seventh season. However, those without cable service will now get a chance to savor the show's latest season, with this special encore screening to fill in regular network programming that's been thrown into chaos by the writers' walkout.

For its debut back on NBC last week, Law & Order: Criminal Intent scored 2.5 in the ratings, 38 percent lower than its showing during its premiere last year. Its parent program, Law & Order, also took an 18 percent dip from last week's first episode at 3.1.

'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' Returns to NBC Tonight

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:30:00 GMT

Tonight marks the return of Law & Order: Criminal Intent to NBC, following a season spent banished to NBC's sister cable company, USA Network. The Law & Order spin-off will take the 9pm timeslot and serve as lead-in for the returning parent show, which opened its 18th season last week with a two-hour premiere.

In a desperate move, major networks have had to resort to some last-minute repurposing in order to fill in the vacuum that's been left by a running out of original scripted episodes due to the two-month long writers' strike. So while Law & Order: Criminal Intent's seventh season has been airing on USA since October, NBC will still begin with the season opener tonight, before proceeding with the rest of the seventh season in weeks to come.

Law and Order is back from the dead. It was never really dead, I know, but after a full season of banishment into a dreaded Friday night time slot, and another half of the year completely off the air, it kind of felt like Law & Order was gone for good. Thankfully for fans of the ageless procedural, Law & Order is returning to air waves for its eighteenth season on Wednesday, January 2 for a two hour premiere. The following week, Law & Order will settle back into its long time Wednesday 10pm ET/PT time slot. Starting on that Wednesday, January 9, Law and Order: Criminal Intent will act as the original L&O's lead in, airing at 9pm. Criminal Intent had been banished to the purgatory of basic cable on the USA Network, where new episodes have been airing. NBC will start from the beginning of Criminal Intent's new season, and re-air the episodes on NBC.

Exclusive Interview: Julianne Nicholson, of Law & Order: Criminal Intent

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:30:16 GMT

Actress Julianne Nicholson joined the cast of of Law and Order: Criminal Intent this season as Detective Megan Wheeler. Julianne has had a prolific career in both TV and film, appearing in Ally McBeal, Law & Order, ER and various others. Julianne stopped by to talk with us at BuddyTV last week. We discussed her start in acting, her time on Law & Order: CI, and what she has coming up in the future.

Can you tell us a little bit about how you got into acting? Was it something you always wanted to do?

Sure. It was something that I had wanted to do since I was very young, like 7 or 8 years old. But I didn’t actually start taking acting classes until I was 24. Where I grew up, it just seemed so far away and another world, I just didn’t think that I would be able to do that. And then moving to New York helped. I moved to New York when I was 18 and went to Hunter College and did some modeling and worked in restaurants and kicked around here for a while and in that time had met a number of people who were actors in varying stages of their careers and got hooked up with an acting teacher here in New York and studied with her for 2 years. And that was sort of my intro into the world. So it took about, you know, 20 years, but I got in it!

It's black and orange day! Candy, suspicious apples, and frenzied midgets in bizarre head dress. And that can only mean one thing: Halloween themed prime time dramas. I gotta admit, I'm a little disappointed by the sheer lack of participation this year! Why couldn't Halloween have come on a comedy night... those guys seem to really know how to get their spook on, a Halloween episode of "The Office" would surely have been fab. Click on to see who has the Halloween spirit.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: Fall Preview

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:27:29 GMT

Law & Order: Criminal Intent The Fredo of the Law & Order franchise, Criminal Intent is a dyed in the wool procedural that brings absolutely nothing new to the table in terms of content. Of course, Vincent D'Onofrio is great and the show has it's following, but I just don't see the need to stretch out these franchises. Ratings, I suppose, would be the reason, but how many shows a week do Law & Order fanatics need?
