Showrunner Neal Baer Leaving Law & Order: SVU After 11 Years for CBSwww.tvguide.com/News/Baer-Leaving-SVU-1026073.aspxLongtime Law & Order: SVU producer Neal Baer has signed a new development deal with CBS and is leaving the NBC drama, Variety reports. Baer will leave SVU at the end of this season after 11 years. His new three-year development and production deal with CBS Television Studios takes effect June 1, 2011. "After more than a decade on SVU I felt it was time to take a breath and say 'What's next? And those people who were there for me at the very beginning said 'We're next,'" Baer told the trade paper. "I've loved every moment of SVU, and I am deeply grateful to Dick Wolf for giving me the opportunity to work on a such of such depth and profundity." A former pediatrician, Baer got his start on medical dramas China Beach and ER, which he worked on for seven seasons. He joined Law & Order: SVU in its second season.

He may have helped boost ratings when Neal joined in season 2 but I also think he was the cause of the show's downfall, starting in mid-season 7. Then Neal got obsessed by having all these special guest stars. I just wish he would leave sooner so that season 12 can really redeem itself rather than waiting for season 13 (if there will be one...)

I agree.....Maybe then the show will also stop preaching a political agenda unless it really fits the storyline....
