I'm posting this because I am growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of appreciation for the original Law and Order. Whenever I catch an episode of L&O on tv, it's always one of those silly spinoffs (SVU is the only one I'll actually watch, but I still prefer the original). The torrents I've found for the original L&O are dead, and I haven't been able to find a single episode on Megaupload. Being one of the most popular dramas on television (and now I think the most or one of the most long-running dramas with 20 seasons), and being the parent to numerous spinoffs (including Special Victims Unit, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, and I think they just came out with a L&O: UK), I would expect a hell of a lot more appreciation for the original than I've seen. Am I missing something? Input is much appreciated.

Re: Law & Order
Can't help you. Never been into those crime dramas. I'm not even into much TV, unless its Battlestar Galactica, or HBO.
HBO is doing A Game of Thrones, and Sean Bean is Eddard Stark! Life is grand!

Re: Law & Order
I'm with you sinful. I never watch tv with the exceptions of this show and House. Which is probably why this issue bugs me so much.
NCIS is fun. I like their sense of humor. It's really formulaic and predictable though.

Re: Law & Order
House ain't bad... but I wouldn't sit down and watch it all.
I just don't have cable or satellite or anythin. Waste of money since I don't watch anything. Just wait for HBO stuff to come to DVD.

Re: Law & Order
That's exactly the reason to watch it. He's such a unique character, and the way he treats other people is absolutely hilarious. The fact that the whole show is done using his "American" accent is amazing (I only learned he was English three or four seasons in).
