USA Wants More Criminal Intent

By Kona Gallagher: 2008-05-25 11:14:23

The morning after I had a dream that I cheated on my boyfriend with Dr. Gregory House (seriously) I’m happy to find that one of my other TV crushes is coming back next season. USA has just announced that it will be bringing Vincent D’Onofrio and Law & Order: Criminal Intent back for a 16-episode eighth season. CI jumped to USA last season after spending its first six years on NBC.

Although USA is CI’s official home, it will more than likely continue to make appearances on NBC to fill holes in the schedule. The 16 episodes will continue to be split up between the detective teams, with Vincent D’Onofrio and Katherine Erbe taking half and Chris Noth and Julianne Nicholson taking the other eight. Nicholson was replaced by Alicia Witt while on maternity leave last season, but is currently renegotiating her contract along with her other three co-stars.

Like many other shows, Criminal Intent’s current season is airing in two parts due to the writers strike. The first ten episodes have already aired, while the last eight are scheduled to begin June 8th, as part of USA’s special summer season. If you haven’t watched CI this season or at all, I highly recommend tuning in on the 8th. It’s good TV in the Summer—and that’s hard to beat.

i luv alicia witt, i am so bummed she's not coming back. in fact i'd rather see maryanne mastriano or whatever the hell her name was from the first season than miss freckleface again.

or what about that redhead who replaced eames when she was on maternity leave? what's with the major crimes unit, they can't keep women?

As delighted as I am that USA has renewed criminal intent, I am not happy that NBC will not air the show in repeats as they did when it first went to USA. I can't get the USA network so I need NBC, it looks like I and the many other fans of the show who need NBC are out of luck, unless the show is needed to fill a hole in the NBC schedule. I am a fan of Vincent's and am glad his show is continuing, but I'm not happy I won't see it.
