All "Mel" Breaks Loose on Law & Order

Just as it presented a dramatization of a Britney and K-Fed-esque couple in last week's season premiere, Law & Order's next shamelessly ripped-from-the-tabloid-headlines outing, airing Nov. 3, will guest-star Chevy Chase as a celebrity who, when pulled over for drunk driving, launches into an anti-Semitic rant. Then, veering away from even what Mel Gibson stands accused of, Chase's character's shirt is found to be stained with the blood of the Jewish producer behind his failed sitcom. Can Fletch join in on this investigation?

I'm a long-time L&O fan, but I find some of these "similarities" not at all entertaining.

I guess when a show's been on for 17 years, they start running out of ideas, huh?

Good grief! Are they kidding??!! I'm going to pass on this one, thank you.

I think it's great that Dick Wolf and Co. have a sense of humor. I get a kick out of the "ripped from the headlines" stories. They may closely resemble real life, but there's always a fun twist. Keep up the good work guys....here's to lots more yrs.

I'll look forward to the twist. Sorry - the cynic in me creeps out sometimes......

Chevy Chase...isn't he dead? I like Law and Order but really think they scrape the bottom of the barrel with "talent" sometimes.
