The “original recipe” Law & Order is running a new episode on NBC this week, with Criminal Intent rerunning an episode previously aired this season on the USA Network. SVU is being pre-empted for “Super Tuesday” coverage.
The Criminal Intent episode is “Untethered” which contains probably the best performance by Vincent D’Onofrio in the Criminal Intent series. My review of “Untethered” can be found, here.

A trace on the money leads the detectives to a young couple that is victims of a real estate scam. Green and Lupo decide the best way to crack this case is to go undercover with the help of Kim Brody (guest star January Jones, “Mad Men”), an employee at the title company that handled the closings on the illegal real estate deals. Brody proves not be who she claims, leaving her innocence and real identity in question. Also starring: Sam Waterson, S. Epatha Merkerson, Linus Roache, and Alana De La Garza.

Sounds interesting, however:
ReplyDeleteTo me, it is a mistake to have to a new episode this week. NBC is likely going to have numerous pre-emptions by affiliates in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) markets for Duke at North Carolina, the biggest rivalry in all of college basketball (while the game airs nationally on ESPN, that coverage is blacked out in ACC markets, where it usually airs on over-the-air stations).
If it were up to me, I would have instead run two "CI" episodes (that are new to NBC, but previously aired on USA Network) this week.
