For the longest time, it was as if the Michael Moriarty seasons didn’t even exist. I can recall some stations, after running through the entire series (this was before it got rebooted), cycling back to the introduction of Sam Waterston in season five instead of the first season with Moriarty. I almost fell off my chair a couple of years ago when I happened to surf past an episode one day and it featured Moriarty.
Obviously, this was due to the enormous popularity of Waterston and the Jack McCoy character, which I totally understand. The man was fabulous.

Does anyone know if they are the full episodes as originally aired?
I've been watching L&O: Criminal Intent on some fly-by-night channel on YouTubeTV,, and I'm pretty sure some scenes are edited out to fit in yet another three-minute ad for St. Jude's or supplemental Medicare insurance. Sometimes it really affects the plot. For example, the episode in which Merritt Wever and the woman who played young Judy Garland in that TV movie play nannies who are obsessed with a soap opera and wind up killing some guy, they find a row of peas next to the body. I'm pretty sure in the original episode this was explained as lining up peas was the Wever character's way of keeping control of things while she was in an institution. In the episode I watched last night, they just find the peas and it's never brought up again. (Wever is amazing in the episode, BTW. Her performance in her final scene is shocking and amazing.)
II might start L&O: Original Recipe again if the episodes are complete.

A Law & Order thread is always a great time to tip the hat to Leslie Hendrix, ME Elizabeth Rogers. More than one hundred episodes of L&O. More than 100 episodes of L&O:Ci and quite a few appearances on SVU and the other, lesser L&Os. It's intimated Rogers dated both Danny Rodd and Lennie Briscoe in various episodes.
Also, Hendrix was the understudy for Jessica Lange in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Kathleen Turner in "Indiscretions."

What I love about Law & Order is that it gave a ton of professional theater actors work in television.
George Grizzard, Philip Bosco, Elaine Stritch, Jerry Stiller, Tovah Feldshuh, Jeffrey DeMunn, Pati Lu Pone, and many others were memorable and regular defense attorneys who gained more recognition on the stage than in film or television.
Even Edie Falco pre-Sopranos was practically a series regular as a shrewd and fast-talking defense attorney.

R25, the entire explanation of the peas, sans them knowing who the killer is, is presented at the beginning of the episode, around the 7:35 mark. See peas lined up again at the 21:10 mark, on a kitchen table, obviously by the Wever character. And that's it.

I don't live in the U.S. but it seems every L&O spin-off airs all the fucking time on TV -- all but the original L&O, the only one worth seeing.
My enthusiasm for the old show and the old episodes has probably waned considerably, but how nice it would be to have them available on a streaming network, or even one of the TV package of channels that comes with a mobile phone and wireless package. There's a sea of terrible American police procedurals available, just not the only one worth the occasional binge watch, L&O original (less those first few seasons with that prickly Moriarty cunt )

As someone who grew up in NY in the 90s and 2000s, no show does a better job of capturing the city in all its complexity and variety. The show understands that life in NY is tribal and that social interactions and expectations are governed by the customs of one’s class and race.
And the accents. No other TV show gets the subtle variations of a New York accent so right. You can understand a character’s entire backstory from just a few words by their accent.

[QUOTE] Is there a better show to truly show the realness and rawness of New York City?
Law & Order is tops, but New York Undercover is up there too.

Another show that did a great job of showing the rawness of New York was Kojak with Telly Savalas.

It always bothered me that the show labels the cops “law” and the lawyers “order.” It’s the other way around.

r129 No its not you OCD cunt. The cops are enforcing the law, and the lawyers deciding the appropriate punishment-- the order. Now carry on.

I’m talking about the opening credits which labels the detectives “Law” and the prosecutors “Order.” . You might argue that the cops are enforcing both the law and order, but the prosecutors are just focused on the law. The argument that the lawyer’s are deciding the “order” is just weak.
In any case homicide detectives aren’t really about either law or order. They are investigating facts.

r132 You matter of fact, whore. Everyone colloquially refers to the police as the law. Like why you snitching to the law? The attorneys establish order for charged criminals and, "here here order in the court."
By the way, I am just being playful but thats how you should view it.

I am aware that people refer to the police as “the law,” but no one refers to lawyers as “the order.” The title is fine. It’s the graphic motif of the credits I have a problem with—suggesting that that the two functions can be separated and “Law” assigned to detectives and “Order” to the prosecutors. It suggests a significance that isn’t there.
