Law & Order - All Versions - New Season Thread

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Chevy Chase is slated to appear on the mothership in a takeoff on the Mel Gibson DUI situation,

I'm pretty sure Sam Waterson played Abraham Lincoln on an early L&O.

Julianne Nicholson's new haircut does not suit her, and it's nearly impossible to accept her as anything close to a detective. That hair, I keep waiting for Wendy and the Lost Boys to show up.

Missing Jerry Orbach more than anybody else that's no longer on the show.

I'm already tired of the tough girl detective on SVU....she sucks.

Then there's that weaselly little guy who played a) the militia leader who gets acquitted, b) the neighborhood vigilante who gets acquitted, c) the schizophrenic lawyer who stabs people and nearly argues himself into an acquittal.

I loved that guy (Denis O'Hare) -- a episode is automatically better because he is in it.

Saw the early numbers, and tonight's L&O: SVU drew its highest numbers ever in France.

I always liked Larry Miller (character Michael Dobson), the comic who offed his wife in one episode, reappeared a couple years later as the same character, then four or so after that, is walking across a plaza talking with another detective...

I always thought Larry Miller's best work came in Nutty Professor 2, where he was violated by a giant hamster.

A little different concept on CI, with the time elements. The firefighter twist at the end was not believable, but Eric Bogosian is growing on me more and more. He's picking up the slack of the absence of Courtney B. Vance. SVU was pretty silly; it basically was just there as a flimsy framework for the Very Special Dramatic Performance by Jerry Lewis. And Connie Nielsen is still all over the map and not very compelling yet. And dammit, wrap up this Stabler angst issue already

Bring back Shamala Green!

She was HOT

If you're into dominatri....never mind, it makes sense now.

"You got any other surprises before we waltz into court and MISS Shambala Green hands us our asses on a PLATE?"

Great Ben Stone moment.

Sam Waterson was the voice of Lincoln in Ken Burns' Civil War series.

Sam Waterson was the voice of Lincoln in Ken Burns' Civil War series.

And Thomas Jefferson in Lewis and Clark...

One of Burns' standbys along with Peter Coyote, <atthew Broderick, David Keith, David McCullough and the late Stephen Ambrose and John Chancellor

Jerry Lewis was a surprise on SVU last night. I didn't even recognize him at first with the beard.

Good work by him. The French may be right after all.

Something about Waterston in The Civil War that always puzzled me. Every person I ever heard deliver the Gettysburg Address emphasized the prepositions in the famous peroration -- "Government OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people." Even the voiceover in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" reads it that way. But Waterston put his emphasis on "PEOPLE" at the end of every phrase. Made me wonder if it was his call, or if Burns had some research that indicated that Lincoln had read it that way.

mike g. ... i was trying to pull out a reference to Gore Vidal's Lincoln, back in 1988. Didn't realize he'd done the Burns stuff as well.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Of course, Lincoln was one hell of a lot better attorney than Jack McCoy. Also, in 50 or so years of watching TV cops shows, NEVER have I seen an actor/actress who looked less like a cop than Green's new partner. Peggy Lipton in the Mod Squad had more street cred.

Suddenly, I feel real young again. I normally only feel that way when I see spnited post.
