Last week I read the news that NBC canceled Law and Order after 20 seasons. And this totally bums me out because (at it has been documented on this blog more that once) I love Law and Order. For at least 4 years now (since grad school), watching an episode in the evening, usually while making dinner, was the way that I would unwind after a day at the lab or work (and I watched L&O pretty regularly before that). I first discovered the show back when it was in syndication on A&E (so probably the mid-90s) and followed it when it moved to TNT. Let's just say that I have seen enough to be able to rank my favorite pairings of the detectives (Briscoe and Green), my favorite lieutenant (Van Buren), Executive ADA (Jack McCoy), ADA (a tie between Jamie Ross and Connie Rubirosa), and DA (Adam Schiff). As I explained to my mom, one reason I like L&O is because the story line is always neatly tied up at the end and you can watch the shows out of order and not be totally confused. I know that the show will still air on TNT until probably the end of time, but there won't be new episodes. Although I did read that Dick Wolf is trying to find another network that may be interested so let's hope that Ted Turner will be willing to make more Law and Order. Until then, enjoy some short clips from Law and Order.
One of my other favorite pairings:
And the most awesome thing Law and Order ever produced:
By the way, I've watched a couple episode of Law and Order:UK, and it is really good. But I shouldn't be surprised as it a pairing of my 2 favorite things: Law and Order and British Television.
