    Move over Gunsmoke. hide « show »

    Isn't it hard to believe that a simple crime show could last so long with all the cast changes? For those who have not been following the series from the beginning, or on the endless reruns on A&E or TNT or from the spin offs, I have one question: Where have you been?
    Careers, relationships, politics all change over the course of a generation and so has Law and Order changed. Think about how you were when this sereis started and how you have changed. My hat is off to the creators, writers and actors who never mail in their performances.

    Still a great show. hide « show »

    This is still a very good show. The actors come and go but the show doesn't lose a step. S. Epatha Merkerson is terrific and the rest of the cast does a great job. I do have some minor complaints, though. Some of the story lones are a little far fetched. I know that after 18 years it's hard to keep things fresh. Another problem is Sam Waterston as the DA. His character just does not fit into that position. He gets too involved in cases. He's deifinitely the weakest of the show's four DA's. I still look forward to new episodes.

    My favorite crime-based show. hide « show »

    Law & Order is a very good show. I love all the different unique episodes that feature a certain crime being committed in every episode, where it usually involves a murder. When a crime is comitted, those cool detectives are on the case! I think the actors do their job very well, and each one fits their roles perfectly. This show is still fun to watch in my opinion, it is entertaining seeing all of these different murder or other mystery crimes, where it is up to the detectives and their cop squad to find evidence and look for the right culprit! I still stay tuned for some new episodes every now and then for Law & Order. Exchange sounds like a good episode, I'll have to see if I can catch that new episode.

    Terrific episode, yet unfinished. A cliffhanger indeed. Fascinating story line with justice not met.
    Bring it back! hide « show »

    Great episode. I felt as if it were a cliff hanger. Clearly, Vivica Fox's character was guilty and the wrong person was sent to prison. Bring the story back and have closure to this episode. Unfinished. Addidtionaly, I would love to see more of the guy who played "Dewey". He is Tony - nominated actor, Lou Liberatore. Great stage actor who tore up the stage with John Malcovich in Broadway's "Burn This". His talent was underutilized in this episode. Bring him back too!He actually looks a bit like Hugh Laurie (HOUSE). I could see him playing his brother.

    1.5 Abysmal

    This show has GONE WAY DOWNHILL hide « show »

    I retired after 30 as a police sergeant and my daughter is a Sheriff SO do the writers of law & order have a brain disorder because I have never seen one detective let alone two detectives who work homicide's go out with beards let alone lousy beards. These idiots do not work undercover so why do these writers feel it is necessary to give them beards to make the show work........... This was never done before and for good reason.... the tv audience is not stupid only the writers are. Don's these writers look around? I have not seen any detectives or patrol officers with beards, goatee's, pony tails, etc. This has been a great show for years so how about going back to reality.
