Let's Be an episode of Law & Order

I'm a wise crack about the dead body by DL fav Jerry Orbach

I'm Michael Moriarty's mid-Atlantic accent

I'm the phones and sounds of typing that are always going off in the background

I'm the annoying pedestrians who find the body.

R4 Are they joggers? White girls talking about boys? A gay couple arguing about a dog?

I’m ripped from the headlines. The cunt who inspired this episode just got out.

I’m the critical piece of evidence found/revealed in the last five minutes of the show.

Im Shambala and my acccent is epic.

A little off the subject, but I've been watching a 50 year old BBC police series (Task Force). What a difference. Some episodes the crooks get away, some episodes literally almost nothing happens, some episodes the cops make huge mistakes. It makes for much better stories, ta lot less formulation.

PS I remember a L&O episode and the actress who is trying to portray a rich person mispronounces Chateau D'Yquem. Thank god the script didn't say trockenbeerenauslese.

I'm the great and prestigious Tovah Feldshuh

I'm Patti LuPone as Ruth Miller in multiple episodes.

I'm Philip Bosco as the sophisticated and classy recurring defense attorney. I later had a recurring role as a judge on SVU

I'm the cane, walker or stairlift employed by one of the viewers

I’m Lynn Thigpen.

Patti Lupone is forever beloved by me when while representing an au pair accused of murdering the infant child, she cuttingly told Jack over his refusal to accept any part of some story, “no need to throw the baby out with the bath water”.

I'm the guy down at the loading dock who can't stop loading his van for 30 seconds to speak to a fucking HOMICIDE detective.

My favorite episode of Law & Order is season 1 gay football hero. I don’t want to spoil it. It sometimes makes me cry when I see it. Very brilliant acting and script.

I’m right wing propoganda.

I’m the actor playing the body. It’s my big break.

R20 Agreed.

R19 what right wing propaganda?

The whole show.

How

By presenting cops and prosecutors in a consistently positive light.

I’m Mariska Hargitay, I’ll be doing this until I’m 100.

R26 I'm Jill Hennessy being beautifully elegant yet stern

I’m Mariska Hargitay and I'm a lesbian. A big one.

I’m Hudson University. My students get murdered left and right.

I'm the WASP family "torn apart" by our housekeepers murder.

Who’s going to get the blood out of the carpet?

I'm Oleebia. Neither me, my adopted gay son nor my partner Elliott Stabler are on this show.

For all of you Law & Order fans, whores, fat whores, whatever... on the ever-crappy WE channel we going WAY back in time to episodes with Michael Moriarity, Rickard Brooks and more!

We're coming up on the end of their Tawana Brawley episode.

O-leeb-ia

R34, no, no, no. Fuck this O-leeb-ia shit. This thread is about the mothership, Law & Order. Not that crap, SVU.

Right now, Rose Schwimmer is being arraigned for orchestrating a bombing at an abortion clinic. Clark Gregg is part of the cast!

Still season one... yea!

Oh, r23, you are llonely!

Or do you have any particular episodes of miscreants who you thought should not have been prosecuted?

As a Lennie fanatic, I would be very interested in your expounding on your so-far-unsupported opinion.

Because you're FOS, frankly.

Well, maybe you are deservedly "llonely" (yes, oh, dear), but I meant "looney."

I'm the innocent person the cops harrass and treat like shit for most of the first half of the episode. I never get an apology.

I'm S Epatha Merkeson's dismissive expression. I'd rather be at home with a beer.

Ah, the early career of an actor... who knew what kind of success they would find in the decades to come?

Samuel L Jackson just showed up as a defense attorney. Greevey and Logan are about to get Philip Seymour Hoffman and Gil Bellows to talk about a rape they participated in...

and damn the NYC shown during this first season of the show is the city I remember and man was it ugly and falling apart.

Logan: You know my last two partners were shot, right, Lennie?

Briscoe: Yeah, Mike, I heard. Third time better be the charm, or you'll be supporting my ex-wives.

Curtis: Just to let you know, Lennie, I do things by-the-book.

Briscoe: Yeah, Rey, I'm guessing it's "The Hardy Boys."

Green: So tell me, Lennie---Will I have a problem with race here?

Briscoe: No way, Ed---unless it's the 5th at Aqueduct.

I'm the judge and I'll allow it

I'm the beautiful Jill Hennessy

I'm the drunk driver who killed Jill Hennessy. You should thank me.

Never, R44! Jesus, who are you to think/post such a thing?

BTW - the episode ending right now, has S Epatha Merkerson in the cast BEFORE she was Anita aka Loo. She's a mother whose baby was killed and other son shot.

I love L&O!

I LOVED Claire Kincaid/Jill Hennessy she was the smartest, classiest, and most attractive person in Law & Order

She was the 3rd worst female ADA, after the one who got murdered and Angie Harmon.

R45, You know I was referring to the fictional character played by Jill Hennessy, not the actual actress, who is very much alive?

I'm the "Playbill" for every Broadway show, mentioning "Law and Order" in the blurb for every member of every cast.

I'm the path that little Kaley took every single day to school. Well, until that day...

We're the Alpha and the Omega: Lennie's wisecrack to close the Prologue; and Jack's observation as the episode's Coda.

I’m one of the menial and nearly meaningless tasks assigned to Detective Profaci on nearly every episode. I’m not “solving a case,” the task assigned to every other detective.

We're the "L&O Hookers": college girls; suburban wives; murder victims; trafficked foreigners; very much younger wives whose killer mothers think they're "dumb as a box of hair."

R52, And I'm the baksheesh, lying in wait.

Sad that such brilliant comments are lined out.

I'm the courthouse steps who, much more often than you'd think, has to have blood scrubbed off of me.

I’m the low rent Anita Hill.

I’m the “I don’t give a fuck what they think in Albany” stance that Jack takes whenever he is on his high horse.

I'm the hot dog eaten while walking. I'm somehow choked down despite the rapid fire dialogue.

We're the "K&O Killer Kids": Trigger? What trigger?; Baby? What baby?; We took out Chinese take-out; But I'm a victim!; My sister, my daughter!

R58 I’m the corrupt but smokin hot Gov. Shalvoy, who isn’t quite so sure that Albany doesn’t matter.

I’m the Schiff One-Liner

Im no fucks given regarding continuity.

"Lt. Van Biden"?

I typed Van Buren. Fkin autotype.

I'm the rich Upper East Side husband who viciously murders my cocaine addicted mistress.

I went to Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, etc. like every male member of my family since we came over on the Mayflower. I am a lawyer/doctor/Wall Street tycoon. Prison is going to be really really rough for me.

I am the wife of R66 and I was the one who really killed the cocaine addict whore. I also planted the evidence so my husband would be convicted.

It will teach him to fuck with me! No if you will excuse me, I have to attend a board meeting for the Metropolitan Opera. I am the Programming Chair.

I’m the death penalty still existing in New York.

I'm Canada, refusing to extradite to r68.

I'm the high-rise office building with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River, or other high-rise buildings in mid-town. Every executive and lawyer has one.

I’m the secretary or maid of the deceased who has more wit and cunt remarks than a Joan Rivers standup routine.

I’m S. Epatha Markeson showing the occasional dramatic gravitas. Anyone get what I’m saying. The scenes in Law & Order are so short it hard to be a showy actor. But sometimes she nailed it.

I'm McCoy's prep school demeanor.

I'm McCoy's eyebrows in the new episodes. You can't look away.

r73 McCoy's father was a cop in Chicago. St. Ignatius, maybe.

I'm Dick Wolf taking truckloads of cash to the bank.

I do not laugh but quietly snicker on my way.

I'm the jury box. We look appropriately concerned when the witnesses are testifying.

I'm the nonexistent address which would be in a river. ("722 W 18th St.")

I’m the swarthy young Puerto Rican actor they sent to a salon to bleach his hair so he looked like a drug dealer, having been toned to a perfect platinum, the producer then asked the colorist to pull the toner out so it looked more “street cred” canary yellow.

[quote]I'm the nonexistent address which would be in a river. ("722 W 18th St.")

Did 623 E. 68th Street ever make it to an L&O episode?

Logan: You really think it was the Merry Widow, Lennie?

Briscoe: Let's put it this way, Mike---she reminds me of BOTH my ex-wives.

Curtis: I don't know, Lennie; I heard the Grieving Widow is a good Catholic.

Briscoe: Sure, Rey. And afterwards she said 10 "Hail, Marys."

Green: Odds are, Lennie, it was either the Wealthy Widow or some hopped-up hood rat.

Briscoe: If I were a betting man like you, Ed, I'd double-down on the dame every time.

Green: Lennie, I feel a promotion coming for me.

Briscoe: Don't bet the ranch, Ed.

Dun-dun! 🔨

I'm Detective Nina Cassady. Van Buren hates me and my leather jacket.

For good reason, r83. Everyone hated her.

I miss Serena Southerlyn.

Is it because she's a lesbian?

I'm the "doth protest too much" response of "No, no....of course not."

I'm medical examiner Elizabeth Rogers. I've determined the victim died from blunt force trauma to three back of his head. Now, please leave the morgue. I have to dye my blonde hair red to get ready for a morgue scene on Law & Order Criminal Intent.

We're the parents of the cocaine addict killed by R67. We flew in immediately from our home in Des Moines when we heard our beloved Sharon was dead. We thought she was attending art school and are stunned to learn of her actual profession. We just talked with last week. Who would want to kill our angel?

bravo R89, that scene did play out multiple times. Was the beloved Sharon an undergrad at Hudson University?

R89 "What kind of mother am I to let my child become this!"

I’m the resident street hooker. My makeup and clothes are too nice for this profession.

I'm the Law & Order gong sound effect

I’m the original post 80s 1990s extended original theme song.

I’m the theme song playing at 1.5X and starting to wobble like the tape is wearing out. You’ll hear me in syndication so they can fit in more mesothelioma ads.

I'm the world-weary judge at the arraignment. In denying bail, I have a habit of uttering snide one-liners to the lawyers and the defendant .

I'm the ever-present opening disclaimer: "The following episode is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event." Everyone knows I'm BS because even Helen Keller can see that the plot is a knock-off from a recent news story.

[quote]Is it because she's a lesbian?

R86 That was a strange ending to the Serena Southerlyn seasons. There was never a hint of her being a lesbian during her tenure as ADA. Her question at her dismissal- Is it because I'm a lesbian? - made no sense.

R98, I think that was to let us all know that Jack McCoy, who famously slept with his assistant DAs, wasn't able to sleep with Jack. I agree that it was a weird way to end not only her time on L&O, but the episode itself.

In the 1990's-2000's, I am a performer who did lots of New York soaps, and now is doing an episode of Law & Order.

I'm Jill Hennessy, always looking vaguely constipated and nervous.

I’m am one of the many "WΣ ARΣ HAPPY TO SΣRVΣ YOU" coffee cups on desks in the detectives’ desks.

R99 If I remember correctly, her comment wasn't to Jack but to the DA at the time (sorry I don't remember who it was? Schiff?)

Arthur Branch, played by right winger Fred Dalton Thompson.

R104 I forgot about him! Thanks.

R103, What---I'm chopped liver @ r87?!

I'm Chris Noth, before I became famous as Mr. Big. I have bushy brows and a lecherous grin.

I’m the bartender being interviewed.

Yeah, she was in here. A bit early for happy hour, but who am I to judge, right? Beautiful girl. Seemed upset, though.

I'm Abbie Carmichael's Texas Thunderpussy!

I'm the middle-aged, overweight, Latino housekeeper for R67. When the detectives arrive at the townhouse to question me, I have little to say and want to go back to work. After Brisco casually mentions calling INS to check on my status, I suddenly become a chatterbox and admit that, on the night of Sharon's murder, I saw my lady arrive at home with blood on her hands and muttering "That bitch."

R110 Ooooo do you think she gets convicted?

I'm Lennie Briscoe's much-maligned second wife. All I wanted was a house in Queens and a little peace and quiet. Instead, Lennie turned into a hopeless drunk and began two-timing me with some cheap hussy at the registrar's office at Hudson U. I took him for all he was worth, which wasn't much.

I’m the bump on the victim’s head.

I'm the streaming on Hulu
