How is this a thing?!

Dick Wolf’s one-hour reality court show with the working title “You the Jury” will join the NBC slate, the network announced Friday.

The show, which will be live and will let viewers decide the verdict in real-life civil cases, joins Wolf’s other NBC programs that include “Law and Order: SVU” and the recently greenlit “Chicago Med.” It’s also the latest in a trend for NBC, which has been focusing on live TV in recent years with musicals like December’s “Peter Pan Live!” and, as Variety reported this week, is in discussions for a variety show starring Maya Rudolph that would accompany the upcoming one starring Neil Patrick Harris.

Wolf will exec produce the show with Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz and Tom Thayer. The show is co-produced by Wolf’s Wolf Reality and Magical Elves. The shingles previously worked together on the TNT nonfiction series “Cold Justice,” and its spinoff “Cold Justice Sex Crimes,” which launches in July.

Wolf Reality and Magical Elves are repped by WME.

Oh I'm sure it is, it still annoys me.

K. I expect this to have a shorter lifespan than Law & Order: LA.

Unrelated, but I really don't understand how L&O: SVU has outlasted L&O and L&O: CI.

L&O CI was awful. How does one man know so much?

They were all good, but it seems like Meloni has been gone for ages and we barely saw Belzer his last few years.  I actually don't like SVU because of the sex crimes--some of them I've found so hard to watch.

Don't doubt Goren.  The man was a treasure.

Lenny was the treasure. He was the best. I also didn't mind some Chris Noth.

I will be satisfied as long as I can submit my verdict and hear DUN DUN every time. Don't let me down, Dick Wolf.

Also, I loved L&O slightly more than SVU but still love SVU even sans Stabler. CI needed some time to grow on me but it eventually did. L&O being cancelled before it broke Gunsmoke's record was the worst decision in the history of everything.

I can agree with this. He had the best one liners of all L&O time.

I would ditto your entire post, except I never watched SVU at all because of the focus on sex crimes. Just Original and CI.
