Hi. My name is William, and I am addicted to Law & Order

[WilliamPitt]

Regular Law & Order is the best. I have my DVR set to record it whenever it shows up on any channel, at any time.

I am also an addict of Special Victims, also slightly less so (call it coke to the crack).

I am also an addict of Criminal Intent, although less so again (call it weed to the coke).

I don't think any support group can help me. If any of those shows are on, well...I'm watching.

Am I alone?

[rcrush]

1. I like Anthony Anderson and The other guy

My favorite L&O cops were Briscoe and Green. Followed by Fontanna and Green. I don't know why they got rid of Denis Farina he was great.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

13. I agree, Denis played the character with a bit of

an edge, I can't figure out why he was replaced. A couple of shows had Farina paired with the guy from the Sapranos (name escapes me at the moment), which I thought was interesting in a good way.

[ceile]

2. Hi William.

I too am addicted to L&O. Last night's CI kicked ass! Can't wait to see what will happen to Goran this season.
I agree that original is still the best, but SVU has great story lines.

[Midlodemocrat]

3. I am Midlo and I am addicted to NCIS

and now Criminal Minds.

The fact that I have all the Law and Order SVU DVDs should probably be addressed as well.


(Psst. Will. Did you know USANetwork shows L and O marathons, mostly on Tuesdays?

You're welcome.

[WilliamPitt]

7. I have lost many days of my life to USA Network.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany.

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I keep looking at the schedule online and going.

'Oh, good. Three more episodes.'

My own family has noticed, and commented, frequently I might add, but I don't care.

Gibbs rocks.

:rofl:

[jus_the_facts]

4. Hi Will....I gave up TV cold turkey when it went digital....

....I was addicted to This Old House and NOVA however. :D

:hi: :loveya:

[redwitch]

5. You are not alone.

I watch them all. Some episodes I have seen 6 or 7 times. I am a total Law and Order junkie. Love all the various incarnations. I also love that I can find an episode at any hour of the day or night, important for an insomniac like myself.

I have walked by the crew in NYC several times while they were filming. It is always so cool to see them when you round a corner. Have never seen any cast members though, alas. I also have to admit being in love/lust with half the cast!

[Midlodemocrat]

6. I saw the cast outside the Waldorf filming a few years back.

Before 'Lenny' (whose real name escapes me) passed away.

[ceile]

8. Jerry Orbach

[elleng]

45. GREAT guy, did a LOT of acting (and singing and dancing, too)

Saw him few days ago in L+O wherein the gang watched one of their perps being injected (death penalty.) Show was about the rest of the gang's day, which was kind of traumatic for them all. He cried at the end.

[ceile]

49. Saw that too.

Claire dies in the end. Loved Jerry- even in Murder, She Wrote.

[WilliamPitt]

40. Lenny Briscoe, a.k.a. Jerry Orbach

I mourned his passing for days and days.

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. I watch them too, although CI was my drug back when I hadn't seen all the Bobby episodes. Love

the other two as well. Really get a kick out of the earliest L&Os with Chris Noth too.

CSI (the original), Cold Case, and House round out the rest of my addiction for suspenseful dramas. (I guess they ended NUMB3ERS)

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. You and my father should form a support group anyway.

He will stop his life for whatever periods of time the show is on, and it seems to be on some channel, at some time, all the time.

I am Criminal Minds addict myself, but I'll deny it every time.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

12. Love Law & Order, the original series

I think the current cast is great, and ranks right up there.

I also like Criminal Intent, but get a little tired of SVU, its seems like they try and make each crime worse than the last one.

I really enjoy old school crime mysteries (not the SVU stuff, too heart wrenching).

[redwitch]

14. I was a Hill Street Blues fan, then Homicide, now L&O

I love good police dramas. Come to think of it, I also loved Car54 Where are you? and Dragnet. :-)

[pokerfan]

25. Original L&O is more hard boiled

The homicide detectives can come across the most grisly murder ever and they don't even raise an eyebrow save for Lenny making some random sarcastic comment. Benson and Stabler have panic attacks.

[bigwillq]

15. SVU is my fave

but I love them all as well.

[JonLP24]

16. I thought against mentioning this several times

but I felt like I need to even though this is a silly lounge thread. :)

Cocaine is cocaine whether it's hydrochloride(salt form) or converted to crack by combining the powder form with heat and baking soda. The physiological and psychoactive effects are the same, the only difference is that smoking delivers the cocaine to the brain faster. It's not any more addictive.

The only reason why I bring this is up is there is so many myths that claim "crack" is something that "powder" isn't that's used to justify these 1:100 disparities in mandatory minimum sentences for "crack" vs "powder".

[trof]

19. You are not alone. I'm also addicted to NCIS.

Check it out.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Yet another reason I lurves you.

Isn't that show the best ever? Love, love, love. Just sorry it took me so long to find it.

[trof]

21. Every character is so damned interesting. Especially Abbie.

And the plot lines really get wild, but somehow still believable.
And Ducky and his cadavers.
WHOA!

[Midlodemocrat]

24. OMG! I LOVE Abby!!!!! She is amazing!!!!

haven't gotten into NCIS-LA yet, though.

Frankly, it would have to be on for six more years for it to pique my interest.


:rofl:

[rkennedy_68]

28. i love ncis

[Midlodemocrat]

31. You think you can just come into this thread and throw out

'i love ncis' without details?

Dude!!!!! what do you love? The Gibbs glare, his uber hotness, Abby, Tony, Ziva, McGoo, God Forbid Vance?????

COME ON!!! Give us something to work with!!!!!!

[redwitch]

35. Ziva fascinates me.

But Jethro has been my secret crush since he played the Secret Service agent on West Wing. :-)

[proteus_lives]

22. I love really old Law & Orders

Like pre-95. You see so many stars before they were famous.

I've been a L&O junkie for years!

I miss Jerry Orbach!

[Mojambo]

23. You are aware it's not 1999, right?

[WilliamPitt]

41. I fart in your general and specific direction.

[LynneSin]

52. I've been in a room where he has farted - DON'T LET HIM DO THAT

I need to warn the others

:scared:

**gets the febreeze out just in case**

[hippywife]

26. My husband used to be.

He got over it. :rofl:

[rkennedy_68]

27. yuck

hate that show

[hyphenate]

30. Most of my addictions

(except for junk food) are TV shows, both past and present. I'm not ashamed to admit it, and I have savant-like recall of actors, shows, and more going back to the 60s. So, you see, you are not alone--at all. Some of our addictions are fun. :)

PS: Except for reality shows. I despise reality programming, and won't watch any of it, if I can help it.

[Upton]

32. My name is Upton...and I prefer Criminal Minds..

For me, Law and Order is old news..

[Midlodemocrat]

36. I'm just getting into Criminal Minds.

Great show. I think Dr. Reid is adorable, but Chris Meloni is the supreme hottie. For me, anyway.

[frogmarch]

33. I'm addicted to L&O too.

I also watch SVU and CI whenever they're on.

It's nice to know you'll be watching too, Will. It's kind of like when I was kid at Brownies camp. Our leaders told us when we cried at night from homesickness to be comforted in knowing that the same moon was shining down on our moms and dads.

From now on, whenever I watch L&O, SVU, or CI, I'll be comforted in knowing you are too...or that you're at least recording them to watch later. :-)

[whistler162]

34. Target, in my area, has Law and Order :UK season 1

Some repeat stories with a UK twist.

[MrsMatt]

37. My name is MrsMatt

and I am a L&O addict.

Every other episode, MrMatt says "I worked with . . . on . . ." fill in name of character actor and some regional theatre production. His biggest "worked with"s are Kristin Chenoweth & Michael Emerson.

Hated Fred Thompson as DA.

My 13 year old daughter still refers to it as the "boom-boom" shows.

[one_voice]

38. Nope you're not alone...

I've watched every episode of all the of the L&O's since they've premiered.

My daughter is now hooked as well. On all of them.

Don't know what I'll do when they go off the air.

[Scout]

42. you are not alone....

how many times have you seen each series, in repeats? all seasons, all flavors?

i don't want to guess how much time i've spent on my butt in front of the tv watching all flavors of L&O.

[Scout]

43. don't you just love the "DOINK DOINK" sound? n/t

[elleng]

44. OBVIOUSLY not alone!

Well written, even if stories may repeat. And good cast. So, we're all together!

Right now, LOTS of cameos. (its a new SVU.)

[KT2000]

46. me too!

it is getting bad with all the marathons.

[elleng]

48. Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn Gets "Law & Order" Role.

50. I didn't know you were a woman over age 45....nt

[LynneSin]

51. So what's going to happen when the come out with Law & Order: CSI/NCIS unit

:hide:

[WinkyDink]

53. You have NO IDEA! I plan my DAYS around L&O! And a non-Lenny day is just not worth having!

[Beetwasher]

54. I Was In A Band With Jill Hennessy

Are you jealous?

[BlueIris]

55. What was the band named?

;-)

[Beetwasher]

56. The New Originals

[MissMillie]

57. definitely not alone

Love all versions of this show.

[sammytko]

58. me tooooo!!!!

I DVR all of them

[soleft]

59. Can't get enough? Have you looked into Fan Fiction?

There's an entire canon of material out there exploring the complex relationship between Oliva Benson and ADA Alex Cabot.
