Entertainment outlet TVLine has once again stirred conversation among television fans with its latest round of weekly TV questions, touching on major shows including Chicago Med, The Lincoln Lawyer, Law & Order: SVU, and Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

Published on May 15, the feature highlighted growing fan reactions to network schedules, shocking cancellations, and unresolved TV romances heading into the 2026–27 season.

Is NBC Repeating a 20-Year-Old Mistake?

One of the biggest talking points centers on NBC launching two private-investigator series in the same television season: the comedy Sunset P.I. starring Jake Johnson and the dramatic reboot of The Rockford Files led by David Boreanaz.

TVLine questioned whether the network may be repeating the same programming error it made in 2006 when it debuted 30 Rock and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip simultaneously — two shows built around similar behind-the-scenes television concepts.

“Chicago Med” Fans Divided Over Relationship Drama

Fans of Chicago Med are still debating Hannah’s reaction after Archer confessed his love in the season finale. Many viewers are now speculating whether the pair will officially become a couple when Season 12 premieres this fall.

At the same time, viewers are questioning whether Ripley and Lenox are truly “endgame,” adding even more uncertainty to the show’s evolving relationship dynamics.

Other entries in NBC’s One Chicago universe also drew mixed reactions. Some fans felt the flashback-heavy finale of Chicago Fire lacked momentum, while Chicago P.D. sparked debate over Voight’s next move after discovering Shari’s involvement in murder.

Netflix Faces Backlash Over “The Lincoln Lawyer” Ending

One of the most surprising developments discussed was Netflix deciding to end The Lincoln Lawyer after its fifth season.

TVLine noted that the legal drama remains one of Netflix’s most successful original series, prompting fans to wonder why the platform would end the show instead of rotating cast members or restructuring storylines to reduce production costs.

The decision has also reignited broader discussions about whether Netflix is moving away from long-running scripted dramas in favor of shorter, more limited series.

“Big Bang Theory” Spin-Off Impresses With Unexpected Scale

The newly released trailer for Stuart Fails to Save the Universe also caught viewers off guard, particularly because of what appears to be a significantly larger production budget than expected.

The series, centered on Stuart from The Big Bang Theory, is expected to expand the franchise in a much more ambitious direction than previous spin-offs.

“Law & Order: SVU” Fans Still Hoping for Benson and Stabler Reunion

Meanwhile, longtime #EO supporters continue to hope for a reunion between Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on Law & Order: SVU.

Showrunner Michele Fazekas reportedly remains open to bringing Stabler back whenever scheduling allows, although fans were disappointed that a highly anticipated Benson-Stabler park scene never materialized.

Are Fall TV Premieres Losing Their Importance?

TVLine ultimately ended the discussion with a broader industry question: Which broadcast network unveiled the strongest fall schedule — ABC, Fox, or NBC?

Many viewers argued that fall television no longer feels like the true start of the TV season, especially as networks increasingly save their biggest titles for January launches instead.

As a result, some fans believe the Fall 2026 television lineup lacks the excitement and event-level anticipation that once defined network TV.
