normal service never resumes. I think that matt groening and dick wolf have a contest going to see who will have the longest running prime-time show, and they've ceased to give a f%ck about their shows making sense. law and order (regular) has been in danger of going off for 2+ years now. simpsons should have gone off 5+ years ago. i know nothing of the law and order franchises, i don't care for them.
