NA, I think what That Girl and I would want to do to him would just involve fucking....

I like SVU 'cause my house made a guest appearance on it.

I DONT WANT TO GIVE UP TV

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 02:11 (twenty years ago) link

Jess why are you giving up TV, again?

i tricked nancy into thinking that the band who did the seinfeld theme song did the law and order theme song*

i saw the guy who did the seinfeld theme on entertainment tonight once and he was just one guy in a little home studio and he was creepy cuz he reminded me of that creepy mouthsounds guy with the white hair who was big in the 70's on That's Incredible and who now is on a kid's show on PBS. He's even creepier now cuz he's really old and he is still making icky noises with his mouth. That seinfeld guy musta been the mouthsounds guy's biggest fan.
the law & order theme rocks cuz it's got funky bass and clarinet action.

i am giving up tv cuz for the past week or so i've been housesitting, and these people have the fat big screen with tivo and pitcher-in-pitcher action and like crazy satellite cable with 9000 channels

it's probably good for me to only have access to cable one week every 6 months

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 02:26 (twenty years ago) link

jess you endearing young NPR rockist, I loves yer and will keep you posted on the increasingly rich texts that are L&O reruns

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 11 July 2003 02:28 (twenty years ago) link

for the first two days i was here i just sat in the chair and flipped back and forth between m2, cartoon network, and vh1 classic.

seriously, two days.

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 02:30 (twenty years ago) link

give that shit another two weeks and you'd be all like "you won't believe what they're sellin' on Home Shopping Network Today!"

i was flashing back on the darkest weekends of high school when i could kill a whole day and night with a bag of cheetos and a six pack of coke and the remote

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 02:40 (twenty years ago) link

jess i will send you my dvds if you want!!!

i have totally made my summer roommate hooked on law and order -- he is unearthing tivoable episodes that i haven't even seen on my to do list. tivo + law and order triumverate = HOURS AND HOURS SUCKED AWAY. although i do agree about the butcher jobs tnt has done. hey weren't they also supposed to do that advertising-after-the-fact paint-on stuff, like putting diet coke cans in briscoe's hands when they were really parthocups?

today they showed the episode where jerry orbach was the counsel for the defense btw!! & this is still pretty u &k

maura (maura), Friday, 11 July 2003 04:38 (twenty years ago) link

tnt isn't on my basic cable!!!

but i still watch plenty law and order and the one based on Mailer was so tops.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 11 July 2003 04:43 (twenty years ago) link

Search the one based on the Puffy trial where Sam Waterston goes "we got dissed!"

s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 05:05 (twenty years ago) link

mike post wrote the music for the theme song. other music-contributions of his, aside from the spinoffs of course, have appeared on:
nypd blue (that's pretty obvous)
l.a. law
silk stalkings
doogie howser md
booker
hardcastle and mccormick
the a-team (!)
CHiPs (!!)
the rockford files (ok i think i'm sensing a theme here)

... no seinfeld though, no night court either. actually it looks like the guy who wrote the theme to night court wrote the theme to, awww yeah, barney miller, aka one of the top ten tv themes of ever (right behind 'good times' and 'taxi' -- one of my favorite nyc moments so far has been driving over the 59th st bridge in a taxi while the theme from taxi was playing on the radio and the sun was just beginning to come up. NEW YORK I LOVE YOU)


also he wrote music for cop rock!!!!!

maura (maura), Friday, 11 July 2003 05:21 (twenty years ago) link

he in that last sentence = mike post there, sorry. aim crashed and my world crashed with it

maura (maura), Friday, 11 July 2003 05:21 (twenty years ago) link

Mike Post rules. on rockford alone!

s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 05:23 (twenty years ago) link

the one where jerry orbach plays the lawyer is so fucked!

nancy has made a shirt that reads "i (heart) jerry orbach"

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 07:41 (twenty years ago) link

I want a shirt like that. I heart him greatly. He can sing, you know.

(is that episode from the early days before Orbach played the detective?)

(you know what he's great in? Crimes and Misdemeanours)

s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:41 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, it was from the paul sorvino days...it's pretty funny to see michael m. going up against jerry o. in the courtroom...he doesnt really pull off the hardass lawyer role, but perhaps that's because i'm too used to him as the sardonic ex-alcoholic cop

jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

(I collect Jerry Orbach records)

rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

Michael M. is a certified nutbar. He keeps trying to run for mayor in Canadian cities, or something like that.

s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

(someone give me Chicago on vinyl, please)

rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:53 (twenty years ago) link

They release movies on vinyl now?

NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:56 (twenty years ago) link

No, the original Broadway cast recording, silly.

rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:01 (twenty years ago) link

Wait, they adapted Chicago into a Broadway play?

NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:22 (twenty years ago) link

Haha!

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

L&O is probably one of the only programs on the air that I have never seen an episode of. I don't know why -- I guess I never got around to it.

Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

L+O makes me so happy. Somewhere on the web there is an outdated(Moriarty-era) drinking game that can lead to very entertaining reruns.

Elisabeth Rohm makes me miss Angie Harmon.

God, she was the best.

she's a Dream Teamer

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:27 (twenty years ago) link

I HATE THIS SHOW AND ALL OF ITS ILK WITH A BURNING PASSION. BURNING! PASSION! I HATE THE HANDHELD CAMERAWORK (OH THIS IS JUST A SNATCH OF REAL LIFE WHOOPS THERE GOES THE CAMERA OH GOT IT BACK AGAIN HAHA) COUPLED WITH THE MANNERED "REALISTIC" DIALOGUE AND THE WOULD-BE WORLD-WEARY APPROACH TO VIOLENCE LIKE OH HERE'S A DEAD BODY QUICK PAN DOWN TO IT OH MAN WE'VE SEEN THIS A MILLION TIMES LET'S GET SOME COFFEE AND QUIZ THE WAITRESS ON WHAT SHE SAW IN THIS LABORED INTENSE CLIPPED BULLSHIT HARDASS SPEAK. FUCK THIS SHOW.

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:28 (twenty years ago) link

You're thinking of NYPD Blue.

s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:29 (twenty years ago) link

I think I hate Fred Thompson. In brief appearances where he wraps things up, not so bad, but that one episode where he actually got out of the office and did some lawyering had me angry.

Leee (Leee), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:29 (twenty years ago) link

ALSO THOSE TRANSITIONS. "D.A.'S OFFICE, 10 A.M." COUPLED WITH THAT REMORSELESS "CLUMP" THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JUDGE'S GAVEL. "OH WE'RE GONNA BE REAL STRAIGHT AND TO THE POINT NOOOO BULLSHIT IN LAW & ORDER NO SIR." WHEN IT FACT IT IS TOTAL F'IN BULLSHIT. I HATE TV BUT "THE PRACTICE" IS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN THIS SHIT AT LEAST IT HAS INVENTIVE PLOTLINES SOME TIMES.

NO S1UTSKY I AM THINKING OF MF'ING LAW&ORDER WITH THAT ONE ACTOR, THE OLD WHITE GUY. HE! MUST! BE STOPPED!

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

"The Practice" was one of the worst shows on television. Whoever thought the idea of a po-faced "Ally McBeal" was a good idea should be homeless.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

I HATE THE WAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SO FUCKING STREETSMART AND DESENSITIZED BECAUSE EVERYONE ON THE SHOW IS SO FUCKING COOL AND COLLECTED EXCEPT THE WITNESSES AND SURVIVORS AND SUSPECTS WHO ARE ALWAYS FREAKING OUT BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO IDENTIFY WITH THE COOL SO F'ING PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT COPS WHEN IN REALITY IT IS JUST MANIPULATIVE CHICKENSHIT RACIST MELODRAMA.

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhh

(sputters, dies)

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

will the real slim shady please stand up?

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

ie. stop biting trife's style

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

"racist"???

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

and anyone who's ever a seen more than two episodes of any David Kelley show ever would know there is nothing inventive about The Practice's storylines

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:34 (twenty years ago) link

that said, gimme Homicide and The Wire over Law & Order easy

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:35 (twenty years ago) link

ok that was uncalled for. they often seem to, within network tv's pc dictates, code blacks in certain ways--more emotional, effusive...the good mama wanting the best for her gangbanger son. actually the racial stereotype are no more offensive than the overall puerility of this ass show.

granted i haven't watched for the 10 seconds of it for years and years because it completely turns my stomach within a split second.... it's like the tv equivalent of jethro tull.

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:35 (twenty years ago) link

more than 10 seconds. my hatred is impeding my typing skills.

amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:36 (twenty years ago) link

It first aired 30 years ago today.
