And it’s Dick Wolf’s considerable success on the small screen that has me convinced that NBC cancelling a spinoff that was far enough along in development to start promoting Law & Order Thursdays to go along with One Chicago Wednesdays actually makes sense.
In fact, the success of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. airing back-to-back-to-back on Wednesday nights leads me to believe that NBC and Wolf want to form the strongest Law & Order block as possible, even if that means scrapping one show and refocusing on something new and better.
