NBC Embraces New York Crime In 2011-12 Season
Though it announced the details yesterday, NBC kicked off the big four network's annual upfronts today with some good news for those who like their crime-fighting television set in New York (to go along with the good news for those who care about democracy). Not only has the peacock killed the hated Law & Order: Los Angeles, which killed our beloved original flavor Law & Order, but they've also picked up a Maria Bello-led, NYC-set, remake of the British crime classic, Prime Suspect. Oh, and The Ghost Whisperer might join the cast of Law & Order: SVU.

After last year's mess of an awards show and this year's joke of nominations (where is love for Lauren Graham, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences?), we were going to swear off this year's Emmys. But then we realized Conan O'Brien was hosting, so we must watch and liveblog. And there's the hope of a good Steve Carrell bit, not to mention awkward reaction shots of Candy and Tori Spelling during the Aaron Spelling tribute.
