In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.

Jack McCoy, the batman of lawyers. Lennie Briscoe, the rough and tough cop. A show in two acts: cop and court. This is probably my favorite show on TV, and that's because it kicks ass.

Hell, the show has been around longer than some of the forumers (17 years) have lived.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    The first is the best.

    And I mean the real first, with McCoy and Briscoe, not this stupid lame other guy who isn't Briscoe.

    This is why I don't watch the spinoffs.

    Oh and also because they don't have the Court part of the story. That's almost my favorite part.

    To be fair, McCoy and Briscoe were not in the first season.

    Is that the woman who always sounded like she had a throat problem?

    If so, no thank you.

    Briscoe and Logan was definitely the best cop combo. Even though Jack McCoy is my favourite ADA, the combo of Michael Moriarty and the black guy who rocked a flat top were my favourite duo.

    You know what's awesome, old detective movies circa 40's and 50's with Humphrey Bogart and gratuitous amounts of smoking and black and white and "heres looking at you kid."

    You know those films which are noir.

    but it spawned CSI and all those other law drama bs shows

    and now it's really just a parody of a once great show

    Did you ever see the one where Bogart is all fooling everyone with his sexy cockiness and Peter Lorre is all creepy little man trying to find the falcon and that fatguy is so fat trying to find the falcon too and then Bogart finds the falcon all smooth as hell with a cigarette dangling from his mouth all "The things dreams ah made of sweethawt."

    I think it was called The Falcon which is Maltese.

    CI is a no-court version, but I still like it. Mostly just because of the psychoanalytical element. And SVU, because the criminals were (are) often very compelling.

    Oh yes I did

    And did you see that other one with Bogart where he is all drinking and smoking in a bar all swaggery and then this dame walks in and he's all "Of all tha gin joints in all tha woild" and then at the end they are in front of a plane and Bogart is all "get on that plane or you'll regret it" and she's all "swoon"

    I think the english translation of the name was White House which is an odd name because I do not recall a white house

    My favorite Law and Order is where Martin Short plays a rapist who only wants to have sex with virgins.
