Earlier in the year I investigated just this question. At first I thought Quinn Martin was a lock, but I think the most he had on in any one season was like five 1-hour shows in like 1973. Aaron Spelling produced a lot more television, though a lot of it was TV movies. I think he had 6 hours of ser

They have scheduled "L&O." It'll be in the Thursday time slot where the "L&O: Defense" series was supposed to be before that petered out (I guess Wolf was uncomfortable with the whole idea about a series on defense attorneys or he fell out with Carol Mendelsohn, the "CSI" creator who was going to

I'm not sure whether I forgot about the FBI shows or the Chicago shows, but I clearly missed the mark here. That said, Lear is far from a slouch in this department.  A look at Wikipedia suggests Lear had more than the 6 shows Bob mentioned - "Good Times, " "The Jeffersons," "Maude," "Sanford an

At the very least he's looking at a tie with Mr Lear, who in 1976-77 did have "Good Times, " "The Jeffersons," "Maude," "Sanford and Son" (Demond Wilson''s final season?), "One Day At A Time" and "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" active... B David Bruggeman, to M-D November and moi, Nov 30th: > Wh

While I don't know this for sure, I assume the return of the mothership will probably be on Thursdays, when the other L&O shows are currently airing. This would mean that Dick Wolf shows would represent two nights worth (6 hour-long shows) of the NBC lineup.  Has any producer had that much progr

None of the detective teams after Orbach/Martin worked for me. Dennis Farina's character came off as an asshole, and the other successors - Anderson, Sisto, etc. - always seemed to be in over their heads. Perhaps the years away will give the new team enough distance from the original to make it
