Partners

I’ve always liked the television show “Law & Order”. I also like the ongoing spin offs: “Law & Order Special Victims Unit” and “Law & Order Criminal Intent”. The reality based version of the franchise “Law & Order Crime & Punishment” alternated between being riveting and squirm inducing. It lasted two seasons. I did enjoy the brief one season run of “Conviction”, but really disliked “Law & Order Trial By Jury”. I don’t know if it was because the actor Jerry Orbach was ill or if the casting in general was off or if the story lines never gelled. In any event, that series spinoff was also cancelled after only one season.

But, of the entire franchise, the long running, original “Law & Order” is still my favorite. It has had numerous cast changes over the years, yet still manages to hold true to its core pattern and interesting plots with the trademark Law & Order twists. We even get a kick out watching the reruns. Which, considering we can practically recite parts of the dialogue, speaks to just how well written the episodes are. During its nineteen season run there have been ten different detective combinations. I have my favorite detective partnership. Do you?
