NBC's Law & Order has been renewed for a 20th season

NBC, which will announce its official fall 2009 schedule today, has renewed veteran drama Law & Order for a 20th season, with an unspecified number of new episodes. 

That means, of course, that the Dick Wolf series will now tie Gunsmoke as the longest running scripted drama in the history of television.  Sophomore ABC sitcom Samantha Who?, meanwhile, is not expected to return. 

Samantha Who? benefited airing after Dancing With the Stars, but once the network moved it the audience evaporated. 

There is no word when the remaining episodes will air.
