Tue Jul 22 2008Consistent top quality.

Tue Mar 25 2008This has been a favourite over the years despite the many cast changes. As long as they maintain clear, concise, excellent story telling and allow the character of Jack McCoy to remain on camera frequently I will continue to enjoy this show.

Fri Oct 06 2006Even though recent female asst DA casting was lame, still a top notch show -- but it's definitely time for Jack McCoy to move on

Sat Jan 14 2006Like so many Dick Wolfe-created shows,this is smugly,relentlessly,self-righteously,anti-White.

Fri Nov 04 2005Not as good as it used to be. Dennis Farina gets on my nerves.

Sat Oct 29 2005This is my favorite show, EVER! :D I could watch the reruns over and over. Jerry Orbach turns me on.

Sat Sep 24 2005The classic. I never tire of them, even the reruns!

Fri Sep 23 2005I have to give it a good grade because of its history but the stories are now so predictable and once Elisabeth Rohm walked her gorgeous legs off the show there is nothing to watch.

Fri Jun 24 2005For my money, still one of the best cop shows on television. I like the concept of seeing the whole story through, the police work and arrest and the trial.

Tue Apr 05 2005This show's runs is basically over. Best when Angie Harmon was ADA and Steven Hill was the DA, with Ben Bratt and Jerry Orbach as the cops. Now it is just too formulaic to be interesting.

Wed Mar 23 2005Has been boring last couple of years. Tuned in again because I love Dennis Farina. He adds a welcome spark but can't expect him to carry the whole show.

Sun Feb 20 2005Slipping but still good.

Sun Jan 23 2005I have always liked L&O;, my one problem this year is that although I like Dennis Farina, he's trying to hard to deliver his lines like Jerry Orbach did as Briscoe. Hopefully he'll change this and my rating will go up to a 4 or 5. I am looking forward to Michael Imperioli being on the show later in the season.

Wed Dec 01 2004sort of boring c.s.i is way better BUT GETTING MORE INTERRESTING!!!!
by skyishone
Mon Oct 04 2004Good, but not as good as it's sequel, Law & Order SVU. But that all depends on what kind of creepy things catch your attention.
by fluffytuffy
Mon Sep 13 2004I like all the Law and Order series, I think they are entertaining, and the acting is very good. Will certainly miss Jerry Orbach smart ass remarks this year, but we always have re-runs.
by vinnyin
Mon May 17 2004I also don't understand the success of this show. The current cast (especially on the order side) isn't great, with the ditsy blonde woman, the redneck DA, and whiny drunken crybaby Sam Waterston. The show is dreadfully boring (not as boring as West Wing, though) because it is so predictable with it's Scooby-Doo like plots. It's run it's course.

Sun Apr 18 2004Probably the best 'Law and Order', with talented actors such as Sam Waterson. It's been around for a little too long and the show's background is a little predictable, always leading to the courtroom, but I guess that's why it's called 'Law and Order'.
by lialala
Thu Apr 01 2004I don't understand the high ratings, it's so been there done that type of show. It should just end already.

Wed Mar 31 2004hands down the best crime drama ever...the characters and stories are what make good TV
by gopman79
Mon Nov 03 2003Law & Order is the best drama of the past twenty years, maybe of all time. Despite all the cast changes (which does happen in real life, and since the goal of the show is to be as realistic as possible, it really plays to the advantage of the show), the show has really held up throughout the years. Sam Waterston and Jerry Orbach really have made the most of their characters. The new characters have done well. I didnt expect Fred Thompson to do bad in this show, since he has held this position in government before, and Elisabeth Rohm is adequate, and can get better. 10/10
by archivist
Tue Oct 21 2003Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston are fantastic. The co-stars are good too.
by lori_moccia
Wed Sep 24 2003Law and Order is still the best.

Wed Sep 10 2003My favorite show ever! Sam Waterston is so talented. He makes it look so natural. I hope it never ends!

Tue Sep 02 2003great show!!! look up the law they quote and it's real!!!!!
by lawandasan
Wed Aug 20 2003all time favorite!!! including C.I.and SVU . don't mess with law & order!!! oh, the reruns are even good.
by patserina
Sun Aug 03 2003They have had many cast changes, mostly partners. I believe most of them have been good. I hope you keep most of the cast on this latest change, they seem suited for the parts they play. Also most of the spin-offs are great. The only one I would have any kind of complaint about would be the summer replacement that uses real cases. However even that one is interesting.

Fri Jun 06 2003It is on entirely too much. I'm getting sick of it. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
by mikeholly93
Tue May 13 2003Great cases on tv! Great police detective characters and prosecutors, especially Jack McCoy! He is a great prosecutor on the show! No wonder why this show lasted for 13 years!
by thearmbarkid
Sun May 11 2003Love the original, not too impressed with the spin-offs. It's nice to see an evening drama, without the "soap opera" BS. An intelligent, refreshing change for those who are tired of the usual offering of shows geared for the mentally retarded, such as "Charmed," "Survivor," "American Idol,"and "Friends."

Sun Apr 20 2003My favourite and I adore Serena.

Sat Apr 05 2003great show with jack mccoy...could watch it over and over. not a real big ben stone fan, but it is law and order and i'll watch it!
by bigbaby
Fri Feb 28 2003Law and Order is a fabulous show that is great after every episode. All of the actors are great, especially the old detective and the prosecutor. Every case is intrigiung and different. Excellent.

Tue Feb 25 2003keep up the good work.do not change!
by alphathetagamm_a
Sat Feb 15 2003Am I the only person who thinks there is overkill on this show?? I'd much rather watch a sitcom than watch death every night. Pull the plug on Law & Order! NOW!

Fri Feb 14 2003It is unamerican to not like Law and Order.
by wilshakes1
Thu Jan 16 2003The show's rigid formula can be both a blessing and a curse -- easy to maintain consistency; harder to come up with moments that surprise and delight. Solid but ultimately unexciting. Dick Wolf's revolving-door casting policy makes it that much harder to develop any real affection for the show (Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterson being happy exceptions) and further reinforces the impression that Wolf's enterprise is less a creative effort than a sausage factory. Well, I guess it worked for Jack Webb...

Tue Jan 14 2003Overall one of the finest shows on TV. In fact, it's the only fiction show I watch. What better script than stories based on actual cases. They will never run out of material. It is my opinion that the show is weaker this year. I am still not comfortable with the replacement for Adam Shift and the new ADA Serena (Elsabeth Rohm) does not play for me. She does not make the part come alive and I it seems like she is just reading her part. I just don't think Serena can hold a candle to Claire, Jamie or Abbie. I thought Chris North (Mike Logan) was one of the most interesting detectives and added a lot to the series. Sam Waterston is great. I doubt he can be replaced. In summary, it is a very good show. When the casting was better - it was a great show.

Wed Dec 11 2002Gee.. how original.
by newsradio_fan
Mon Nov 25 2002I used to enjoy it, but now it seems like it's the same cases over and over again and they're always "Ripped from the headlines!" Can't they come up with anything origional?
by angelpaws
Mon Aug 26 2002This show is great to watch for anyone who is interested in law enforcement and the court system. Many of the shows are based on problems that have happened recently in the news. Oh and Sam Waterston is a hottie. :)
