As the writers’ strike drags on and broadcast nets scramble to fill their skeds, it’s back to the future for NBC. Repurposed episodes of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the procedural booted by NBC after six seasons but picked up by NBCU-owned USA Network, will air on NBC starting January 9. L&O:CI pairs with Law and Order which returns to the Wednesday slot it occupied for 15 years.
The seventh season of Law and Order: Criminal Intent launched Oct. 4 on USA Net. Eight s7 episodes have aired to date, with two more on deck. So NBC will have a minimum of ten weeks of L&O:CI filler on hand to sustain their Wednesday primetime schedule.
