Benson & Stabler Break Up? Meloni Out at SVU, Here's Five Shows That Should Call Him

Screw the Schwarzeneggers, this is the real big breakup news. Law & Order: SVU has decided not to bring Chris Meloni back, and no, I have no idea why they've decided to do something so incredibly stupid, esp. considering Wolf Films has already lost two hours to the ax. The original L&O ended last May, LOLA failed, pretty miserably and even Criminal Intent is in its last year with a returning D'Onofrio and Erbe.

One would think Wolf Films would want one of their revenue streams to remain unhampered by the various outside forces. I thought that. I thought wrong.

So, I've been making a list of shows that could be helped by casting Chris. Wanna see it? It's after the jump.

1) 30 Rock -- It's a NYC show, he's a very funny guy and Liz Lemon needs a brand new love interest. And, wouldn't it be a riot for Chris Meloni to play a guy who thinks he's a NYC cop? Or, he plays a guy who thinks he's Chris Meloni. Or, he plays an actual NYC cop who people think is Chris Meloni because they look so much alike.

2) Louie -- Louis CK plays a guy on his show (that's somewhat based on his life) that's not exactly good with women. Meloni should come on as the complete antithesis of Louie, maybe even a muted version of that guy from VH1's The Pick-up Artist, Mystery. Having a friend who's successful with women will make Louie look even less so.

3) The A-List -- Yes, this is the reality show from Logo about young, upwardly climbing gay men. Though the next edition of this show will be based in Texas there will be a new NYC edition and I think Meloni is just the guy to teach Reichen a little bit about being humble. Plus, he's hotter than all these tweezed eyebrows with a gold card that populate this abomination of a show.

4) Royal Pains -- I had a choice between White Collar and this show and there's so much hotness on White Collar that it would be almost criminal to cast Chris on that show. Also, Royal Pains needs a season-long heavy and I think Chris is just the guy. Maybe a crime boss with a compound out on the Island with, say, live Ligers (combination Lion/Tiger).

5) The Wendy Williams Show -- Stay with me here. You know Meloni is gonna want to stay in New York and this is a New York-produced show. And what would Chris do? I think he'd just sit there somewhere near Wendy wearing, say, a tight black t-shirt and jeans. I think Wendy would enjoy that. I would enjoy that. I think we'd all enjoy that.

You can add your ideas for Chris' next move in the comment section.

I could see Royal Pains using Meloni well since he is also a brilliant comic actor, and agree that Royal Pains is already a little hunk heavy.

I'd like to know why 'Saturday Night Live' didn't get him to host while they had the chance - or did he do it and I just didn't notice it?

But other shows to take advantage of his talents? Perhaps an adversary on 'Burn Notice'? A mysterious stranger in 'Eureka' or a bit of slumming in an episode of 'Warehouse 13'.... Perhaps a rival for Beckett's affections on 'Castle', or a recurring love interest for Dana Delany on 'Body of Proof' (if that was was picked up, that is.)

And how about a guest shot on 'Doctor Who'? Someone wiht a forehead that large has to be an alien. (It certainly would have made for a great canvas for the make-up folks in the 'Star Trek' franchise.)

a bit of time in Great Barrington, Lenox, Tanglewood and North Adams. On our way home last night, he took me to Piermont in Rockland County for dinner. This is a photo from our drive through Piermont. More photos and details later. I have an 8:00 am meeting at work and must move it now if I am to make it.
