I noticed that not only its been renewed for another season, but had a slight name change.

Personally I think it was a mistake for O'Neil to star as Det.Sgt. Joe Friday.

He should of instead starred as a new homicide detective simular to Friday, but without seeming to appear incompetent in the role as he does.
