“Warren Leight (“SVU” showrunner) and Matt Olmstead (“Chicago Fire”/“Chicago P.D.” showrunner) are two of the best writers in the business.

All three shows are produced by Wolf Films in association with Universal Television.

Dick Wolf, Warren Leight, Julie Martin, Jonathan Starch and Peter Jankowski are executive producers of “Law & Order: SVU.”

What. The. Hell.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd stop this crossover sh%t
ReplyDeleteGreat, more crossovers of these shows.
ReplyDeleteNot seeing how a child pornography ring can be connected to a show about fire fighters!
ReplyDeletejust want say - me too! I little confused with crossovers now
ReplyDeleteI never watched SVU, I stopped with PD last season... And I'll stop Chicago Fire after tomorrow episode. They killed Shay, now they are kinda destroying my favorite pair and my favorite character for pretty much the same reasons, so I really don't have any reasons to watch the show anymore... but for the ones who still like all three shows that's an awesome news. Enjoy <3
ReplyDeleteNot again, the last SVU/Chicago PD sucked. I rather just watch SVU and not have a crossover
ReplyDeleteLoved it. I don't watch L&O, but that's no reason to not watch the event. And to people compalining, that's what it is: An event, Just deal with it.
ReplyDeleteRemembering that the last major crossover was awesome.
Yesss! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI am not really a fan of crossovers plus I only watch Chicago PD. These crossover events put a storyline in front, but even with procedurals I am more interested in the character development ... but I am a good sport and I tape them at least to watch them together.
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't it was boring, I ended up turning off the tv when Chicago PD came on with SVU crossover. There is no sense to have a crossover, the first time or the second time
ReplyDeleteYou do know that the storyline for this boring crossover it hasn't even being released. Plus it might not be about that topic.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, No point. SVU is fine by itself.
ReplyDeleteYou saying the event with the bomb was boring? I'm talking about the CF x CPD crossover that focused on the Medical part as well. The "crossover" between SVU and CPD was merely a came. I don't count as something "majoar" like I said above.
ReplyDeletei'm thinkin mayb there will be a fire. but its arson so they call in the detectives. and mayb a child dies in the fire and after investigating they find evidence of child pornography then the call svu ^_^
ReplyDeleteI like when SVU/CPD crossover. Could care less about fire crossing over, the CF/CPD crossover didn't even watch the CF episode and the CPD which I love, just watched the CPD parts and ff through all the CF characters and stopped watching the last 5 minutes before the Kelly/Erin part. Hate CF crossovers
