I think they should replace Orbach with one of Sam Waterson's eyebrows.

dean wareham should join the cast full time! then he and ice should make a record together, it couldn't be any duller than the last handful of luna albums

I think they should just get another Barbie-type to fill Orbach's spot, like the current asst. DA. Let the show go down in a blaze of ignomious glory.

get carmen electra.

i couldn't watch it last night, but since i'm sure it didn't involve briscoe saying 'you know what, fuck it' and putting a bullet in southerlyn's head, it couldn't have been that great.

haha xpost

just have her stand around the precinct holding a box of donuts.

Ben Stone for '04--he's tan, rested, and ready!! :)

i never even watch the new eps anymore. i live in reruns.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Friday, 21 May 2004 02:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Last night's rerun was awesome! James Davis City Hall shooting, firehouse closings, PATRIOT ACT nefariousness, and water board corruption all in one episode!

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I miss tokyo rosemary.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I saw that episode the first time it ran. I liked the whole switcheroo about who was actually the target of the shootings. What was the Patriot Act stuff? I don't remember.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:49 (nineteen years ago) link

hi hstencil!

i watched the other two reruns but not the city hall shooting one last night.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

NA the FBI searched his home with a secret warrant.

Hi rosemary! I miss you, please come home, or at least IM me (hstencil23) sometime.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, and then the cops couldn't get the key evidence from the FBI! That was dope. I didn't watch the reruns because I had seen them all already, instead I watched Freaks & Geeks on DVD.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

haha this show just gets more ridiculous as it goes. next week bigfoot will hold lt. van buren's kids hostage as the ghost of adam schiff must save them while a nazi accountant is brought up on war crimes charges by the emperor of siam

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:01 (nineteen years ago) link

guest appearances by charo, fred gwynn, and john lydon

"straight from the headlines"

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

actually i would totally pay to see a jack mccoy johnny rotten throwdown

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:07 (nineteen years ago) link

that'd surely be better than the Jack McCoy-John Doe throwdown.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, I didn't have your new AIM name!

Do you work downtown? Are you near William St? I maybe be going there sometime this month, we should do lunch! We could eat in the park in front of the courthouses and have a Law and Order moment.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I want to see Jack McCoy vs Peter Gallagher, the battle of the eyebrows.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

jack mccoy wins because he has the palsy chicken neck

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:14 (nineteen years ago) link

plus he rides a motorbike! he's tough!

I wrote a ten page paper about L&O for my media critiscm class last (fall) semester. I have also done a few marathons - TNT, 13 episodes in a row, etc. only getting up to refill my beverage. last night was crazy, because their were SIMULTANEOUS runs of L&O on...I watched NBC, mostly, because i think I have almost probably maybe seen all the old episodes.
Things I love:
*McCoy's inability to turn his head without moving his whole body when he's "stunned" by someone else's statement.
*The episode where McCoy is called, by an evil perp who is Revived in a later episode, "Your gloomy little friend...".
*Adam as DA, always. Whatsername sucked (and I've loved her in other things) and Thompson is a retired Republican senator who should be retired, permanently, from the public eye.

I will list more things I love, but Thompson and Elisabeth umglot Rohm make the whole show interesting ONLY because Sam Waterson (and the other regulars) are always acting like they can't believe they have to practice their craft with such talentless stand-ins.

Disclaimer: I only started watching L&O, in syndication, in late 2002.
Claimer: I've watched it like a junkie (sometimes seven episodes in a day!) since then.

Disclaimer: I watched ALL of Dawsons Creek in back to back episodes in approx. five weeks. Binge.
Claimer: I never watch (well almost never) L&O's bastard spawn - I'm a purist. Purge. Purgist.

― aimurchie, Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Is Thompson the newest "young cop"? If it is, I like him. They haven't tried to give him a real personality to distract from the actual plot of the show, unlike Bratt or Noth.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

no Fred Thompson is the DA and he sucks and almost always when he pushes some dumb Republican point in the dialogue, McCoy knocks him down.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

"well i'll tell you what, this here country boy ain't gonna be hornswoggled by no special interests come election time, i'll tell you what."

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, duh. Anyways, I like the current young cop. He's got a good incredulous expression.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I like it when he speaks "jive."

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:39 (nineteen years ago) link

strongo/stence otm. Adam Schiff 4ever.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

the young cops have always been good. they're the only part where the changeups didnt evidence a noticable drop off.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't really see the drop-off in the assistant DA's either...they're all generically pretty young women with somewhat average acting skills. There were two of them that looked exactly the same (the one on Crossing Jordan and the one I had a brief TV crush on but is married to some dickhead football player).

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 27 May 2004 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

The best line of dialogue from any "Law & Order" ever is "Oh girl, you are as dumb as a bag of hair."

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 27 May 2004 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Adam Schiff's phone = portal of death.

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 28 May 2004 01:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm a big fan of the old guy in the wheelchair when asked about a rape or something; "I ain't getting wit' no downtown bitch"

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Friday, 28 May 2004 01:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe we like mcCoy to have brunette assistants - the feisty one (who dies and is the star of Crossing Jordan), the husky voiced one (Who was from texas in the show and married the football player) and the single mom (who is married to Richard Gere).
Elisabeth umglot Rohm is simply a bad actress, and she has met her match with the big ex-senator.
Where in the world is Adam Schiff? And our lovely brunettes?
Briscoe should arrest them and McCoy should put them on trial for bad acting. Then they can go to Guantanamo, and trade jello with the entire cast of....(fill in the blanks).

― aimurchie, Friday, 28 May 2004 01:40 (nineteen years ago) link

KNOW YOUR LAWYERS:

Feisty = Jill Hennessey
Husky = Angie Harmon
Single Mom = Carrie Lowell

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 28 May 2004 02:31 (nineteen years ago) link

BTW, did Crossing Jordan ever get any better, or does the show still suck as badly as it did in the beginning? I remember the pilot/first episode...the 'so empathic about killers and victims that she herself experiences the crime scene' cliches had me convulsing on the floor. Why not just have a blinking neon sign over her head saying "Character ideas wanted: Apply within"?

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 28 May 2004 02:56 (nineteen years ago) link

my fave schiff line:
"quick,
somebody lock the door
before somebody walks through
with a case we can win."

― g--ff (gcannon), Friday, 28 May 2004 03:12 (nineteen years ago) link

"KNOW YOUR LAWYERS"
I am suitably admonished and ashamed. I guess I'm an L&O charlatan.

'my fave schiff line:
"quick,
somebody lock the door
before somebody walks through
with a case we can win." '
That makes me so happy. I can picture it - and McCoy turning his stiff neck to react. And then everyone has a glass of scotch.

― aimurchie, Friday, 28 May 2004 10:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I watched Crossing Jordan once, it BLEW. And the episode I saw didn't even have Jill Hennessy in it. She was like on vacation or something.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 28 May 2004 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Aimurchie, I'm the one fronting - I haven't seen an episode of L&O since the Hennessey era. Dianne Weist (sic) as the DA? Mrs. Jason Sehorn litigating? No Michael Moriarty or Paul Sorvino? The Ally McBeal guy as a cop? Funk that, son.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 28 May 2004 13:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Favorite Episode Endings?

- Greevey [smiling impishly]: "So, how did you know?"
Stone: "My father. Every day, at lunch."
[Greevey's smile dissolves]

- "She doesn't have an uncle!"

- The one where Stone convicts the cult leader, gets The Phone Call, turns ashen pale and croaks a feeble "Oh my God"; cuts to a scene with Briscoe & Logan surveying the teenage disciples strewn across the floor in mass suicide.

- The one with Logan/pedophile ex-priest. "We called you 'Father'...how could you do that to us? You even did it to your own son. How could you do that." The ex-priest gets taken away; shot of Logan superimposed on the bars of the cell.

- The one where Adam takes his wife off life-support, with the prolonged, haunting shot of him (proof that Steven Hill is one of the great actors).

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:58 (nineteen years ago) link

- "She doesn't have an uncle!"
Schiff's reaction to that is THE BEST THING EVER

What is the Greevey/Stone exchange about?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 29 May 2004 03:53 (nineteen years ago) link

his dad being an alcoholic.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 29 May 2004 10:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i used the word "hornswoggled" twice during my final exams, and "hoodwinked" once, and i got this sudden PC flash that somehow "hoodwink" was a slur of some kind.
