I've been watching a lot of Law and Order (the parent show) lately - Hallmark are showing subtitled episodes every night at 9pm - and I'd forgotten how good the show is. Or was, I should say, as I've not watched the latter few series at all. Currently, they're showing Series 11, most of which I've not seen. Damn, but Jerry Orbach was a loss. He owned the character of Lennie Briscoe. My sense is that the show's not been the same without him. I've only caught a couple of episodes with his replacement and was distinctly underwhelmed.

Anyway, this is a long way around of saying I must win the lottery so I can start buying the DVDs. I used to love the show with Chris Noth and even with the ex-Mrs Julie Roberts but mostly, I gotta get them for Jerry Orbach.

It was a sad, sad day when Jerry Orbach passed away. I have to admit, much as I love Jesse L. Martin, I haven't caught too many full episodes since the Briscoe & Green days.

SVU, on the other hand... well, no, I've missed a lot of that, too, but I've seen more of it lately than the others. I don't even know when Criminal Intent is aired locally...

In case you haven't been seeing it, the latest series of Criminal Intent has Chris Noth in it, playing the character he played in the original L&O as far as I can figure out. They alternate weeks between him and Vinnie and he's really good - a nice counterpoint to D'Onofrio's character.
