Danny Tanner as a porn producer!? You better believe it because Bob Saget is guest starring on 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' and his character is involved in the world of pornography.According to a source connected to the show, Saget will play Andrew Brennan, a porn producer, in the March 8 episode 'Van Nuys.'
However, this isn't Saget's first time in the 'Law & Order' pool. In 2006, the 'Full House' actor appeared as Glenn Charles in an episode of 'Law & Order: SVU.'

by Kelly Woo, posted Jan 12th 2011 10:40PM
As we reported earlier, 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' is undergoing a cast shake-up after a slow start this fall, with stars Skeet Ulrich, Reginal Hall and Megan Boone departing the show.Creator Dick Wolf has now revealed his plan to revamp the new spin-off series. After Ulrich departs in episode 14 (likely to air sometime in March), Alfred Molina's D.D.A. Ricardo Morales will return to his former job as a detective and team up with Corey Stoll's Det. TJ Jaruszalski. Meanwhile, Terrence Howard's D.D.A Jonah Dekker now will be the lead prosecutor.
Molina and Howard previously traded off episodes; both will now appear every week.
"We have the fortune of two world class actors on 'LOLA,' and it was frustrating to have one on the bench every week. It would be like having Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as your quarterbacks, playing alternate games," Wolf said in the statement.

by AOL TV Staff, posted Nov 10th 2010 4:00PM
As its first season progresses, 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' (Wed., 10PM on NBC) is adding to its pile of dead bodies. But how exactly do they get those bodies to look so dead?Guest star Andres Perez-Molina took us behind the make-up to show how much work goes into making a live actor look like a dead victim.
When Perez-Molina's character, oil rig worker Freddy Ramirez, turns up dead on the shore, Detectives Winters (Skeet Ulrich) and Jaruszalski (Corey Stoll) take the case. However, some paperwork turns up indicating this may be more than just a random murder.

by AOL TV Staff, posted Nov 3rd 2010 3:30PM
Shows that regularly rip their stories from the headline have to do their research, since all the little details add up to the big picture. Both 'Law & Order: SVU' and 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' (Wed., 9 and 10PM ET on NBC) pride themselves on getting those details right.
In tonight's 'SVU,' writer Ken Storer came up with the original story, but decided to link it to a current event -- namely, the BP oil spill. In 'Trophy,' an environmental activist is found raped and murdered. Det. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) ends up forming a connection to the victim's daughter, and soon discovers that the case may be part of a larger, more insidious mystery.

'L&O: LA' Premiere Mirrors Hollywood's "Bling Ring" Burglaries (VIDEO)
by Aimee Deeken, posted Sep 30th 2010 9:50AM
The series premiere of 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' (Wed., 10PM ET on NBC) featured a ripped-from-the-headlines story: A group of burglars targeted the homes of wealthy young celebrities. Can you say Bling Ring? Detectives investigated a break-in at one high-profile actor's home (who "gets $3 million a picture"). Three grand in cash had been stolen, as well as eight Rolex watches.
"[The] guy's got two arms and eight Rolexes?" commented Rex (Skeet Ulrich). His colleague replied, "... and one safe he didn't use."
(Technically, six of the eight watches stolen from Orlando Bloom's home were Rolex watches, but hey, it's TV. The episode was a bit more gruesome than real-life events, too.)
'Law & Order: Los Angeles' Premiere Review: Mature Franchise Gets West Coast Facelift
by Maureen Ryan, posted Sep 29th 2010 1:00PM
The thumping disco music that opens the first episode of 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' (10PM ET Wednesday, NBC) is meant to remind you that this is not your father's crime procedural. Well, actually, it is your father's crime procedural. But this is a 'Law & Order' that has heard of Facebook and TMZ.
In fairness, other editions of the cop-lawyer warhorse have dabbled in topical events and trendy ideas (or ideas that were trendy a while ago). But, as was the case with the mothership of the franchise, this West Coast 'Law & Order' works best when it gives its able cast knotty dilemmas to play.

When 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' premieres tonight (10PM ET on NBC), it will be the first time in over 20 years that the mothership show, 'Law & Order,' isn't on the air. Instead, the familiar "chung-chung" sound will be heard on 'SVU,' 'Criminal Intent' (on USA) and this newest edition.
Set amid the bright lights of Hollywood and the gritty streets of South Central, the show stars Skeet Ulrich, Terrence Howard and Alfred Molina, Rachel Ticotin, Corey Stoll and more as the cops and prosecutors charged with dispensing justice in L.A.
'LOLA' kicks off with a crossover from its sibling, 'SVU,' which premieres tonight at 9PM ET. Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson heads to Los Angeles for a case about the "backlog of untested rape kits," she told E! News.
Fall TV's Best New Shows
by Maureen Ryan, posted Sep 9th 2010 1:30PM
Your TV will be flooded with new shows in coming weeks, so consider this an attempt to help you sort through your couch-potato options. Of course, when it comes to new shows, no one can accurately predict which ones will fulfill their early promise and which ones will flame out creatively or get canceled within weeks of their premieres. And this year there are few slam-dunks along the lines of 'The Good Wife' or 'Modern Family' (to get our comedy kicks we'll probably have to go with returning shows, given that none of the new comedies look too promising).
Without further ado, these are the fall programs that, on first glance, appear to have quite a bit of potential:
