In the midst of NBC's flurry of pilot pickups (hooray, Chelsea Handler sitcom!) and series renewals (yay, 'Chuck'!), the network let the ax fall on two of its bubble shows.

Freshmen series 'The Event' and 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' are both canceled.

According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC will not pick up 'The Event,' its alien drama, for a second season. The show premiered strong, but its viewership slipped drastically throughout the season and just couldn't gain any momentum after its winter hiatus. However, it might not be completely dead: Deadline is reporting that the producers are shopping the show to other outlets, including Netflix.

Deadline is also reporting that 'Law & Order Los Angeles' has also gotten the hook, even after a drastic overhaul that saw Skeet Ulrich get killed off, Alfred Molina change professions, Corey Stoll shave his mustache and Alana De La Garza join the cast.

Remember when we held a contest a couple months back offering you, our dear readers, a chance to get your name written into an upcoming episode of 'Law & Order: Los Angeles'?

Scott Hancox of Norfolk, VA, was the lucky winner, and now we're thrilled to announce that the episode featuring Scott's name (yep, the whole thing: Scott Hancox) will air this Mon., May 16 at 10PM ET on NBC.

Congratulations, Scott Hancox*! We really hope you're not the killer. Or worse, the dead body.

Keep reading for a sneak peek at some exclusive photos, an exclusive clip from the episode (which we're hearing could be one of the show's last if cancellations rumors are true).

Reality star Khloé Kardashian is getting a dose of the criminal justice system when she appears on an episode of 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' on Monday, April 25.

According to NBC, the star of various reality shows on E! will play herself in the new episode called 'Benedict Canyon.'

Kardashian will be a client of a fictitious hair stylist who is murdered. She'll share a scene with Detectives Ricardo Morales (Alfred Molina) and T.J. Jaruszalski (Corey Stoll).

Besides appearing in the E! shows 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' 'Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami' and 'Khloé & Lamar,' Kardashian has appeared on NBC's 'Celebrity Apprentice' and The CW's '90210.'

After a lengthy hiatus during which the show was creatively retooled, the now shorter named 'Law & Order: LA' (Mon., 9PM ET on NBC) returned to the air with a two-episode premiere. Fans of the original incarnation of the series, and particularly of Skeet Ulrich's Detective Rex Winters, were in for a very difficult evening.

One thing's for certain, though. After what went down in Winters' home, Ulrich won't be returning to the 'L&O' franchise anytime soon.

In keeping with their tradition of trying to depict the world of crime and punishment as raw and real as they can, the writers had Winters get shot down in a drive-by shooting.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to be immortalized forever via television? Yeah, that is a silly question, of course you do!

Well, AOL Television and 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' are ready to make your TV dreams come true. One lucky winner will have his name written into an episode of 'Law & Order: Los Angeles.' TV glory!

But, that's not all -- the winner will also receive a $100 American Express gift card. TV glory and money? Yep, you read that right.

To enter the contest, leave us your favorite 'Law & Order' moment or episode in the comments section. A winner will be selected at random.

Please see the rest of the contest details below.

Stars Skeet Ulrich, Regina Hall and Megan Boone are leaving 'Law & Order: Los Angeles.' *Doink doink*

According to Deadline Hollywood, Boone is out of the show completely, but Hall may return for a handful of episodes. Ulrich, the first actor cast on 'LOLA' and one of the two main detectives on the series, is also a casualty of the revamp. The series is currently filming episode 12.

Hall's character, ADA Evelyn Price, worked for Alfred Molina's ADA Morales, while Boone's DDA Lauren Stanton worked under Terrence Howard's Joe Dekker. Ulrich's Detective Rex Winters appeared on 'Law & Order: SVU' in a 2010 episode.

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.

Check out the behind-the-scenes video below.

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.

(S01E04) Okay, this was the best episode of In Plain Sight to date. Action-packed and filled with character revelations, if this is where In Plain Sight is going, it's going to definitely make it beyond this premiere season.

The set up has Marshall and Mary taking custody of a seemingly innocuous, diabetic, asthmatic accountant/arranger for a hit man named Lola. He's been caught in an FBI sting and will go WITSEC in exchange for "delivering" Lola.

Expertly played by Dave Foley (News Radio), he's just enough of an unctuous ass to make him amusing. When Mary throws him to the ground and pounces on him, he says, "Could you get off of me, you're not exactly petite."

The role was very much like Charles Grodin, a mob accountant, in the movie Midnight Run, with Robert DeNiro as the bounty hunter forced to take him cross country. (If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it; it's great!)
