Speaking of sweaters, the revelation of the Assistant DA during the opening credits is a Mister Rogers moment for me -- if it's Jill Hennessy, I'm filled with warmth and happiness; if it's Rohm, I become despondent. (But still watch, sheeplike, the episode in its entirety.)

This SVU hate has to stop!

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe they'll replace Rohm with Vincent D'Onofrio? Cop and Asst. DA by day, poet and musician by night...

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

My prediction for Rohm's replacement: another blandly pretty, mildly talented young actress.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

see, i think novak's relative crapness as a lawyer is a) a good idea, and b) something i'm betting the producers wanted to try out for a long time.

Doesn't anyone in this bitch watch The Wire? :(

― Ade (Adrian Langston), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

this is the best news i've had in weeks.

I don't watch Law & Order, but when Rohm was on Angel she really had to rank among the worst actresses in the world. A plank of wood could out act her, and she sucked the life out of every scene she was in. She could have improved since then, though.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:56 (nineteen years ago) link

she hasn't.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

She may have improved but she still is pretty bad.

oh, x-post

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, Nick, come off all that Stepford Wives "they're all the same because they're pretty" wank! If you really think that, I hope you only get to see Rohm episodes from now on!...

one month passes...

What do you people see in this show?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I am very, very underwhelmed so far. But I am watching it from the VERY beginning. Should I hold on?

Meanwhile, Homicide is excellent. Thanks to everyone on ILX who recommended.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:49 (nineteen years ago) link

The only great episodes of Law and Order are the Homicide crossovers.

Law and Order is surely the disposable, lightweight little cousin of all American cop dramas post 1990. You have to enjoy it on the level of "I want to watch TV. What's on? Oh Law and Order is on. I'll watch that while I dust the tables."

Last night's SVU episode with the murderous blondies and Anthony Soprano Jr. was pretty good though.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I originally rented the one with Vincent D'Onofrio by accident, and stopped because I thought that wasn't the good one, but actaully it was great!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I love his partner's knack for only ever opening her mouth to state the complete fucking obvious. Meanwhile, he's off doing his renaissance man bit and drawing all these incredible conclusions.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I still have only seen one episode of CI.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I realized last night that Sam Waterson's facial expressions are in no way connected to the mood he is trying to convey. It's like he's a robot set on random. It's really weird.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not random, Nick. The next thing you'll realize is that his facial expressions are predictable based on the character's mood & situation. It's just that they aren't logical.

I blame the eyebrows.

Still McCoy is the man, mang.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 August 2004 16:06 (nineteen years ago) link

guess what - new version of Law and Order set for early 2005 - "Law and Order - Trial by Jury."
huh?

― stolenbus (stolenbus), Thursday, 5 August 2004 21:59 (nineteen years ago) link

It'll be one of those 'from the eyes of the jury' shows - but Fox already beat them to it.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

every tenth post on this thread should just be: DUHN! DUHN!

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:02 (nineteen years ago) link

or at least that's how every revive should start.

Yep. That's where Briscoe is gonna end up. On that show.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I know you will all say that The Shield has dulled my sense for the subtleties to be found in finer things, but along with Oz, this is another show that leaves me totally cold, frustrated, often bored. I started with the first season DVD. Does it suddenly get better or is that it?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

season one of law & order sucks ASS. go directly to Orbach. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

and the ONLY excuse for taking Orbach off the show would be if he was getting a Briscoe, P.I. series where people repeatedly yell "BRISCOE!"

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, this is maybe what i needed to hear. I also got the Vincent D'Onofrio one by mistake, but I quite liked it in a something-to-watch-while-you're-eating-a-super-burrito kind of a way.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah first season has George Dzundza, who has yet to redeem his existence in my book and WAY too much David Caruso-style cliched dick-swagger.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

in fact, if I HAD to watch any episode again (I've just seen too many over the years) it would be one that had Moriarity, Orbach, Noth and S. Epatha Merkenson. Though I kind of enjoy Benjamin Bratt a lot. He had a distinct, absurd, flavor.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

This thread has thus far completely ignored how good Diane Wiest was. What a shame.

Briscoe P.I.

With Munch as his sidekick, this would be the greatest TV show of the 21st century!

― carson dial (carson dial), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Best show ever:

Detectives Briscoe, Munch and Sipowicz.
CO Kragin.
ADAs Stone and McCoy.
DA Schiff.

In every episode, Briscoe makes a smartassed comment at the beginning, Schiff makes a crotchety smartassed comment near the middle, and we get to see Sipowicz's naked ass near the end.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I even rather like Ice T on SVU - he overdoes the "you don' understand, I'm from tha hood!" thing way too much, but he's cool.

I adore D'Onofrio, but I have to admit apart from drooling at the screen whenever he's on, I find that slightly insane head-tilty thing a bit... weird.

― Chreiysy (trayce), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, you mean Ice T overdoes the Ice T thing? Par for the course, I think.

I adore D'Onofrio, but I have to admit apart from drooling at the screen whenever he's on, I find that slightly insane head-tilty thing a bit... weird.

After one episode, it's a bit weird. After five, it's a bit genius. After 20, it's more than a bit repetitive.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah you nailed it. I found it fascinating for a while but when he kept doing it EVERY SINGLE WEEK I got annoyed. Now I forget to watch CI cos its on Sunday nights, when I'm usually too hung over or busy playing computer games or something to notice.

― Chreiysy (trayce), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I just want pure Briscoe in Briscoe, PI. No supporting cast, aside from angry police officers who say "dammit, Briscoe! If you're holding evidence out on us, I'll haul your ass in jail, I don't care HOW long you were on the force!"

Ok, maybe you can give him a secretary played by Louise Lasser.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

trial by jury is totally filming down the street from me. HELLO EVERY NIGHT SPENT AT SUNSWICK IN HOPES OF A GLIMPSE OF JERRY!

― maura (maura), Friday, 6 August 2004 00:45 (nineteen years ago) link

ok maybe not every night

but a few

― maura (maura), Friday, 6 August 2004 00:45 (nineteen years ago) link

five months pass...

That was a LAME surprise.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 13 January 2005 03:59 (nineteen years ago) link

holy crap, no kidding. wha?

― maura (maura), Thursday, 13 January 2005 03:59 (nineteen years ago) link

SHE'S A LESBIAN?

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 13 January 2005 03:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, YAY she got FIRED!!!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:00 (nineteen years ago) link

no doubt a response to the internet petition

― maura (maura), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:01 (nineteen years ago) link

That was hilarious. Law and Order humor that wasn't "grizzled veteran doesn't connect with younger partner, laughs ensue."

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:01 (nineteen years ago) link

And at least they made Jam Master Jay into a hero.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:02 (nineteen years ago) link

please someone tell me what happened, i missed it.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:06 (nineteen years ago) link

it's really a lot more, uh, oomphy if you see her delivery

― maura (maura), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Was anyone else expecting her to get shot by 'Psycho'? That would have been a much better exit.

Elisabeth Rohm tried to talk them down from going all the way with a prosecution for someone she thought innocent, the Republican fired her for not being cold enough, told her to become a defense attorney. Then she came out of the closet.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Then she came out of the closet.

"Then" should have been "Because of that"
