>Fontana and Falco above Green
>Southerlyn last

Southerlyn was fucking terrible and Green was always meh. Falco had some interesting plotlines, I liked him more, like when he slept with that woman who ended up getting killed and when he got stoned and killed his girlfriend's dog accidentally

>when he got stoned and killed his girlfriend's dog accidentally
What, was it barkin?

Stone was better than Jack

Must have crawled underneath him for warmth

You lost me at putting Mike Logan over anyone.

based. beginning of the end

also never liked svu. munch was based on homicide life on the streets though

Stabler is the only good thing about SVU.

blasphemy
Stone was a great character but Jack is a top 10 all time television character

I actually liked Lupo

This.

this era was max comfy

I've been spending like 12 hours a day watching this on weekdays what with WEtv airing every episode over and over.

Whenever I go to my parents house I just watch the 20 Law and Order episodes they have recorded on their DirecTV. I can spend all day watching L&O while browsing Yas Forums and feel like it was a day well spent

Ben was fucking insufferable, like wtf were they thinking with his character he was so intensely dislikable.

Did he die? Or get demoted for punching a defendant or some shit?

He didn't like how Schiff was running the office and chose to leave.

in real life the actor who played Ben Stone, Michael Moriarty, threatened a lawsuit against Janet Reno after she publicly criticized violent television shows and included Law and Order in her list of overly violent shows. Moriarty thought it was censorship so he fought back but Dick Wolf caved into Reno's demands and made Law and Order's violence less graphic so Stone said he would quit if they didn't get rid of Dick Wolf (which is insane) and he ended up quitting.

Putting rey curtis that low. Him and Briscoe use to have me grabbing my sides. Based team.

Holy shit way to shoot your career in the foot.

I’ve been watching through some older seasons (3, 4, 5, on to 6 now) and haven’t noticed much of a change in how graphic the murder scenes and autopsies are - did they actually make those changes?

Also what was with that episode where Briscoe and Logan were investigating a gas attack on the subway that killed like 30 people - surely they would be a federal agency and not just the local dicks?

That's pretty interesting lore. Thank you

But in the show he was having problems with Schiff's politics and the extent he'd go to make compromises. Although his last episode he told his boss it wasn't all about that.

>Logan fucks up and punches a defendant in front of news cameras
>Rightfully gets re-assigned
>Briscoe is still an asshole to his new partner for like 1.5 seasons
Lenny, come on

they made a number of changes. One of them being practical, a lot of people didn't like how most of the defendants in seasons 1-3 were non-white. That's because it was created to portray real-life New York crime and most homicides in New York are committed by blacks or hispanics, but ratings were lousy. When they switched to having mostly wealthy white defendants the ratings increased greatly.
There was a right-wing journalist who did some research and found out that there were more white murder defendants on Law and Order in a given year than in Manhattan for the previous 5 years

Gee it's almost like white collar upper crust crooks make for better courtroom drama because they can hire expensive scumbag lawyers. What would the fun be in watching McCoy punch under his weight against public defenders?

Besides if rich people don't get sent to jail for anything in real life we ought to at least pretend.

A big part of it is what Tom Wolfe called the "Hunt for the Great White Defendant" from Bonfire of the Vanities. There's a scene in that book where a group of white prosecutors are talking about how tired they are of putting black people behind bars, and then when they get a wealthy white defendant they pour all their resources into it and schedule media appearances and shit.
