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.

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.

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.

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

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"

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:11 (nineteen years ago) link

"Is this because I'm a lesbian?"
"Oh, no no no."

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:13 (nineteen years ago) link

No, Serena, it's beacuse you totally suck and are a robot.

The twists become so much more interesting when you consider the rumors concerning her and Dick Wolf!

tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Ew.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:19 (nineteen years ago) link

wolf dick!

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I only saw the last 10 minutes and I thought the lesbian thing must be something that everyone else knew about but I'd never caught on to but you're telling me this was supposed to be some kind of surprise? I laughed out loud when she said that.

Taking Sides: Lamest Exit of the Lamest L&O Character

Benjamin Bratt's "I just want to be THERE for her, man..." versus Elizabeth Rohm's "This isn't because I'm a lesbian, is it?" "Of course not!" [thoughtfully] "Good.....Good."

FITE!

Joe (Joe), Thursday, 13 January 2005 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

omg annie parisse swooooooooon!!

g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 20 January 2005 03:42 (nineteen years ago) link

ok probably corollary effect of the joys of a rohmless episode, but damn.

g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 20 January 2005 03:43 (nineteen years ago) link

she is hot. nice to have a black haired beauty.

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 20 January 2005 03:46 (nineteen years ago) link

and fluid unstilted sentences spoken below a low shout! it's almost too much for my little heart to take.

g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 20 January 2005 03:58 (nineteen years ago) link

That was still a shitty episode though...that bullshit 5-minute long description of a scene from The Third Man as a legal strategy? Come on.

n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 20 January 2005 04:23 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah that was weak. and it made mr counterfeit man cry!

g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 20 January 2005 04:37 (nineteen years ago) link

That plan would've really backfired if dude HADN'T seen the "The Third Man."

"Yeeeaaahhh...I really don't know what you're talking about."

n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 20 January 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago) link

They should have had someone playing a zither.

tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 20 January 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago) link

I am so stoked: the latest promo for CI ACTUALLY USES THE PHRASE "a deadly game of cat and mouse."

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 24 March 2005 03:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I like when actors that are on The Wire show up randomly on Law & Order.

the latest regular L&Os are cheesy, aren't they? Dennis Farina + dude from the Sopranos go all NYPD Blue on the perps (or at least they did on the last one), it's just weird and kind of lame.

SVU hasn't been as entertaining since Oz went off the air.

jack mccoy promoted!!

Linus Roache has joined the cast of NBC's "Law & Order" as the new assistant district attorney who succeeds Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) after McCoy's promotion to DA.

Roache is one of two major casting additions to the police drama this season, joining Jeremy Sisto, whose character replaced Milena Govich's Detective Nina Cassady.

It's a reunion for Sisto and Roache, who starred together on NBC's "Kidnapped" last season.

one month passes...

well the opening line which runs along with the up-the-scale "da-da-da-dum-dummmm" is "Law and Order show," you can probably figure out the rest from there

Law and Order show
Law and Order show, now
Law and Order show ...

Okay so first comes the law part
And then comes the order part
First we'll arrest them and
Then we'll indict them and THEN ...

(there is gonna be a twi - ist)

And it'll BLOW YOUR MIND
Law and Order show...

nabisco, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:30 (sixteen years ago) link

^^^ awesome

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:44 (sixteen years ago) link

omg nabisco that's almost exactly what we sing:

"Law and Order show
the Law and order show
Law and Order show
the Law and order show

first comes the law part, then comes the order part
it's the law and order show
a special law and order show"

then lay out and allow the band to groove, maybe adlib "order show" at some point

J0hn D., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link

has the l&o theme been sampled anywhere? IF NOT WHY NOT

gff, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

my brother and I have improvised many verses over the opening theme, but "GONNA GET SOME JUSTICE" is a recurring line

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link

My favorite part is where you pause before the Raunchy Guitar Lick and then go ... "there is gonna be a TWI - ist."

(triplet melisma on "there" is optional)

nabisco, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link

You also kind of have to make your voice lilty and clarinet-like for the "first comes the law part" part. Imitating the instruments is key.

nabisco, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah on the ad-lib-ish "ORder part" near the end you gotta get yr al jarreau on

J0hn D., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link

so is this a good show or what? I feel like I've watched thousands of hours cumulatively and haven't ever once paid attention.
