Whoa, the NBC Q&A with the media in New York just delivered two bangs that were not included in this morning's news releases or conversations with TV executives.

1) The police drama, "Life," starring Damian Lewis, has been officially canceled.

2) "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" will go on "with or without" its stars, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, who are holding out for raises, said Marc Graboff, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.
