New 'Law and Order' Spin-Offs Slated For Fall
Hollywood (FN) - NBC today unveiled a fresh round of spin-offs from its long-running 'Law and Order' franchise.
"We wanted to push the boundaries of what the 'Law and Order' concept could do. Our crime dramas have done very well for us, but this season we felt it was important to break new ground," said executive producer Dick Wolf.
The new spin-offs include:
Law and Order: Australian Outback - the franchises' first foray into reality television will see opposing tribes of police and prosecutors striving to outwit, out-last and out-investigate each other, Down-Under style.
Law and Order: House Divided - following the success of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Wolf and company have decided to make a second Law and Order comedy series. She's a tough, no-nonsense assistant district attorney with three kids and a cat. He's a New York City police officer with two teenagers and a dog. When they decide to share a house together, hi-jinks ensue. You'll be 'felon' on the floor laughin'!
Law and Order: SUV - Gary Short is a New York assistant district attorney who is shot and seriously wounded by a man he sent to jail. Short is nursed back to health by a mysterious benefactor who gives Short the new name Gary Knight and equips him with Sentient Urban Vehicle (SUV), the ultimate car made with indestructible alloy and equipped with artificial intelligence. Together, Knight and SUV carry on the fight against crime.
Lawn Order: Special Garden Unit - Wolf's first entry into the home renovation genre will feature Law and Order favourites Sam Waterston and Chris Noth helping real-life home-owners get their gardens into shape. In the first half of each episode, Noth will investigate the garden and list everything that's wrong with it. In the second half, Waterston will use guilt tactics, convoluted logic and self-righteous rhetoric to shame home-owners into fixing the problems.

I felt the other avatar had too much bad karma or, more precisely, that it was creeping people out. The process of photoshopping the picture to make it look Mentok-like ended up making me look way more evil than I really look.
