‘Law’ to return in NBC shuffle

The long-running legal drama “Law & Order” will return to NBC’s schedule Nov. 5 as part of a series of schedule changes.

The 19th season of “Law & Order” will air at 10 p.m. Wednesdays in place of “Lipstick Jungle,” which will move to 10 p.m. Fridays. Another second-year drama, “Life,” will move from 10 p.m. Fridays to 9 p.m. Wednesdays, replacing the game show “Deal or No Deal,” also effective Nov. 5. Episodes of “Deal or No Deal” will continue to air at 8 p.m. Fridays.

“Law & Order” is television’s second-longest-running drama series, behind only the CBS western “Gunsmoke,” which ran 20 seasons.
