so what happened to ER?

I've caught the last several episodes of that, not sure why but every once in a while I get "back" into ER...

Consider me thoroughly entertained, if not really that interested. Meaning, that I basically watched it while doing some Psychology homework and enjoyed myself. For now, I'm calling it Criminal Intent: Jury Edition. It gives both sides of the story, like CI does, but it's much more interesting to see how people go about defending themselves than it is to see them try to hide. It's more strategic, and made for interesting TV.

It's nice to see Jerry Orbach appearing in this final performances, but I doubt the show will really suffer without him. The leads are compelling enough that it works with or without Orbach...although it's nice to see Briscoe back on the streets a few last times. I guess he's being their guest, and I can't say I really mind at all.

He was never going to be a major character just a few guest appearances. He supposedly filmed up to 5 episodes before he died, so we have a few more appearances to look forward to.

Nope...try two. I know he was not going to be a major character, but Lennie is a great character and was just fun to watch. He only completed filming two episodes. Technically, the episode airing (I think) tomorrow night is actually a much later episode, but because of Orbach's death they chose to air the two episodes back-to-back in order to pay tribute to him and, I can assume, at the same time draw some people into the show with his passing.

I was just about to edit my post after seeing the preview of the next show. I thought I read somewhere that he had finished work on 4 or 5 shows. Maybe he hadn't completed filming for those other shows.

5 if you count the reality trial version they run during the summer.

Law and Order
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Law and Order: Criminal Intent
Law and Order: Trial By Jury

Ratings for the first three are slipping, we'll see how the fourth fairs.

There was also that "Law and Order" that was actual footage of court cases, the documentary one. That aired last summer, right? I don't really keep up on Law and Order news, but is there a chance it's coming back this year again?

Crime and Punishment, while from Dick Wolf (Creator of Law and Order) was not an official spinoff, and doubt it will return any time soon.

Special Victims Unit is currently the best Law and Order on, then the original. And for some reason I can't stand Criminal Intent. I guess I don't like the two main characters.

SVU is good, but I still prefer the original...agreed on Criminal Intent. Neither of the leads are interesting to me in the least.

The problem with CI is that the main guy is a freaking Sherlock Holmes. He seems to know everything about everything and is able to completely figure out how and why every crime happens. The man is a super-genius, I don't see why NYPD needs any other detectives.

But it does get bonus points because an old friend of mine helps with the costumes on the show.

Incorrect, ratings for SVU are up over last year. The other two are dropping.
