INFORMATION PLEASE
Do you know why Det. Carter has been killed on Person of Interest? Did she want off the cast? Steve Halliday via email After Carter ( Taraji P. Henson) met her end on the drama’s Nov. 19 episode, the actress said she knew when she signed on that “the character would have a beginning, a middle and an end;” she just didn’t know when it would come. Henson enjoys doing movies and has two in post- production: the thriller No Good Deed with Idris Elba and the romantic comedy sequel Think Like a Man Too with Michael Ealy. Why is it that all the older Law & Order programs have been taken off the air? They were some of the best TV shows ever. It makes no sense, because most of the other shows are terrible. Olive Fera, Vancouver The original Law & Order had a solid 20- season run, tying a record set by Gunsmoke for the longest- running live- action scripted prime- time series with ongoing characters. All good things must come to an end, however, and NBC decided 20 seasons was enough. As for spinoffs Law & Order: Trial by Jury and Law & Order: LA, they failed to deliver the viewers that earlier spinoffs Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent generated, so they were gone quickly. CI lasted 10 seasons and SVU is still going strong in its 15th season despite the departure of star Christopher Meloni after Season 12. This all presumes you’re asking about the series in general. If you’re referring to L& O reruns airing on a local channel, consider letting the station know of your displeasure. I am wondering about two shows that I have not seen in a while. One is Body of Proof, and the other is Unforgettable. Have they been cancelled? Judy Vollrath Talk of a possible Body of Proof revival went on until recently, when star Dana Delany tweeted it “will not be resurrected.” Unforgettable has a happier fate, at least for now, since CBS originally let it go after its first season. The Poppy Montgomery-Dylan Walsh police detective drama did well enough in its return last summer to get a renewal for a Season 3.
