Sooo, will this have any possible effect on SVU or Crimes that we know of?
@JSM - it's too early to tell but I think we can be confident there will be some crossovers!
Should have happened back in '10, but better late than never. I'm curious about the cast, though. Jeremy Sisto and Alana de la Garza are on FBI and S. Epatha Merkerson has Chigcao Med. Blackish is ending, but I don't see Anthony Anderson coming back.
Do you think Sam Waterston will return as D.A?
Are you surprised on the revival?
I suspect Sam will return in some capacity. I'm not surprised about the revival, just that it took soooo looong for them to do it!
Yay!! They are finally giving us what we've wanted for years!!
