1) Upper East Side: Was this ever in doubt? A tube-loving tipster writes, "Just saw a promo for the inevitable 'upper east side townhouse explosion' episode on Law and Order tomorrow night! It took Dick Wolf all of like 6 weeks to crank that one out. Impressive! Hope it's good!" Paging Dr. Bartha! [CurbedWire Inbox]
