What is happening to the excellent NBC show “Law and Order”? I read in The Times that it was renewed for next season. However, in its place of late is “Shannon’s Deal,” with no “Law and Order” to be found. Will it be scheduled on some other day?

“Law and Order” has indeed been renewed, but the NBC drama currently is on hiatus, without any word from the network on when or where it will return.
