Like most fans I have watched all the episodes of LAW AND ORDER. If I wasn't in I always made sure I recorded each episode, I enjoyed it so much. I introduced the programe to all my friends and relatives. The story lines are always amazing, the acting natural, the guest stars many and varied and the casts perfect. However I have stopped watching LAW AND ORDER since Anthony Anderson came into it. I find him terrible to look at and I think his acting is atrocious. After watching the first two episodes starring Mr Anderson I felt he spoiled the whole episodes. I will carry on looking at the listings in the hope he will be replaced at some time, until then I have to say goodbye to one of the best programes ever.

This was an incredibly resilient show. It survived the departure of a multitude of actors and lasted 20 years. That's on account of its reliant not on the characters, but on the stories. It proved to be a winning formula.The show follows a rip-from-the-headlines crime story. The first half of the show concentrates on the investigation of the crime by the police, and the second half follows the prosecution of the crime in court.They reinvented the crime procedural. Scripted show just don't last this long. That's thanks to the structure of the show. If not for the proliferation of all the TV channels and the need for ever more cheaper production, this could have lasted another 20 years.

I absolutely love Law and Order, it is one great show. It is gritty. It is compelling. It is high quality. For me, that equals perfection. The episode ideas are original and set the bar for other shows similar to this. The scripting makes the show compelling, for it is always exceptionally written, sophisticated and totally unpredictable. The music is great, quite haunting come to think of it. The court room scenes are consistently superb, thanks to the performance of Sam Waterson as McCoy, who brings vitality and sincerity to the role. The series is quite gritty, perhaps because of the dark and brooding camera work that makes it visually good to look at. As for the performances, they are of high calibre, and I admit I think the show's golden years were with Briscoe and Green. Maybe I'm biased, but the late great Jerry Orbach was the perfect choice for Lennie Briscoe, a man who wants justice, and takes his job seriously. Orbach was a truly talented actor, and it is Briscoe as well as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast that I remember him chiefly by. Jesse L. Martin excels also as Green, and the two men have an undeniable bond that made the show such compulsive viewing. Don't get me wrong, I liked Fontana as well, but there was something about Briscoe and Green that made me like them more. Dianne West and Angie Harmon are solid too. All in all, exceptional legal drama series. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Okay so apparently I can't enter this comment unless thee is ten lines of comments. I really didn't know about this rule, but anyway I love Jesse L Martin and I wanted to know what happened to him in this episode before he started working on rent.
