Guest Backson Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Usually I don't like it when people pick a well known show and go "hey, this is actually pretty good! no one has ever noticed this but me!" but I've realised that I've slowly become really fond of a couple of the Law & Orders. I only bring this up because I seldom see anybody talk about it. Where CSI and NCIS are too theatrical and and ridiculous, L&O generally stays down to earth (even if it is confined to the formula of a weekly television program). Maybe the reason I enjoy it is because its realism is more similar to that of a British crime drama rather than an American one. Maybe I should watch a British crime drama. My favourite is SVU btw. Also I stumbled upon this gem on the wiki for Ice-T's character: When Ice-T asked Law & Order series producer Dick Wolf how the part was supposed to be performed, Wolf told him to simply do what Ice-T would do if he were a cop.[2] They've given that its own paragraph, as though there's something profound about that. I find this amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vodor Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 i love law & order. or i should say, i loved law & order. they got too bombastic in recent years. old law & order, old SVU, and d'onofrio CI are rad. but when vanilla tries a bit too hard to rip from the headlines and go epic, or when SVU somehow goes from rape case to terrorism or headline-rippy-non-rape case, or when CI goes without d'onofrio, i gotta roll my eyes really hard. my ex and i would a capella the vanilla theme song all the time, it was so cute. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Its sad to see D'onofrio go, his character was great and will not. I didn't like his nemesis though, especially her British accent. But at least we still have Stabler and Benson, those two are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
