Okay, it's time to let go

Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but it's omnipresence over twenty years--almost half my life--is a bit much. So I was actually pleased to read:

Case closed: `Law & Order' is canceled by NBC

Now it is unfortunate that they did not manage to eclipse 'Gunsmoke' in terms of length of run. But let's face it, there could easily be a 'Law & Order' channel out there, between all of the incarnations, and two remain active.

So for all those fans out there, I know it was upsetting to you, but really, it's time to let go. And after all, there will be reruns for at least the rest of my lifetime and most likely yours.
