I only watch(ed) the OG Law & Order, with Lennie, Ed, Prosecutor McCoy, and his lovely bevy of assistant DAs (such as Harmon, Parisse, Hennessy, De La Garza, etc.). But, as it is with me, I rarely join into the popularity of a show until it's syndicated on another network, so I didn't realize I liked Law & Order until after a decade into its run. I never was all that into the spinoffs, such as the SVU or the Criminal Intent, they never lived up to the formula of the first; I also am not going to get into CSI and all the different cities they decided to base a series around. It just doesn't interest me.

If anything, there's alot more shtick in Law & Order than most people realize. The last 30 seconds of nearly every episode always has some kind of zinger or inside-joke, even when it seems highly unwarranted (due to the subjet matter of the other 40 minutes of the preceding plotline). It's a staple.

Did I mention that Sam Waterston is the man?
