@@benrussell-gough1201 Nah the first 11 seasons of just Law and Order are all pre 9/11. The first season is set around 1990. There aren't the systems in place we have now.
nobody's paying $3000 a month in cable bills unless you're managing an entire office building wired with fiber optic and paying for all the premium channels plus every PPV offering.
That first season of Law & Order was so good, every episode was almost like a movie the way they were plotted. Such a great show. I haven't been able to get into the revival so much.
I have watched Law and Order since season 1 in 1990. Most I recorded on VHS tapes and watched over and over as well as watching re-runs for years and years. I have always preferred the second half of the shows -- the courtroom scenes and the DA negotiations.
The early seasons are interesting as they included other crimes too. Later seasons the show became more formulaic unfortunately, was still enjoyable overall though.
Always loved the episode with the woman fighter pilot. How she was so calm and cool about saying she was in control and the tape showed that when it matters, her emotions are anything but calm and cool
@@smash3r01 No there isn’t. There is no way to possibly know with absolute certainty whether someone will either offend or reoffend. Either you commit a crime or you don’t. There is no middle ground.
It's a serious problem with the legal system that even former proponents of these laws talk about. It creates a situation where people are incapable of seeking rehabilitation. They become homeless, jobless, on the streets. People may argue they deserve it, but the fact of the matter is that that isn't how our system is supposed to work. You serve your time and that's supposed to be the punishment.
I feel so bad for M. Moriarity. Such a great actor. He succomed to his own demons. I will never forget his sterling and honest portrayal of a good man who loves justice.
The one thing anger me about that episode is that it painted black people as the anti-Semites as the evidence suggested that group of black youths have done it when the real killer was whyte and got found not guilty of the murder.
Best ADA - Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) ---> played in 400 episodes, most of anyone and he played the role perfectly Best female ADA - Abbie Carmichael (Angie Harmon) and Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennessy) and Jamie Ross (Carey Lowell)...so hard to choose the best between these 3, they were all awesome Best detective - Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) ---> Orbach was the best overall though hands down Best DA - Adam Schiff (Steven Hill) Best doctor - Emil Skoda (J.K. Simmons)
Ripped from “On the Waterfront,” one of the greatest American films of all time: “I coulda had CLASS. I coulda been a CONTENDER. I coulda been SOMEBODY. Instead of a BUM, which is what I AM!” Marlon Brando
@@mikealvord55 The clip begins after Jack actually began. His first sentence to the defendant was “Your grief might be a little more convincing, sir, if you hadn’t just admitted to chopping off your wife’s head.” The defense lawyer loudly and angrily objected to that! Jack simply said “Withdrawn,” and moved on to the point the clip begins. He couldn’t object any further because Jack’s line of questioning was legitimate and legal.
The one that made me question everything, including if that was even something judges could do, was when these teenage boys who had raped this special needs girl and the jury found them guilty, and then the judge went "nope, overriding, not guilty. I'm sure she had fun." It was to where they might not have known that she was special needs, but if you listened to her talk, she really wasn't the same mental age as her peers.
Yes, it’s something judges can do. It’s called a judgement not withstanding the verdict. If the judge thinks the jury came to an unjust decision they will overrule the jury. That episode was a tough one. Very ambiguous. I could never decide if the boys should have been convicted. Yes she was pretty obviously mentally challenged, but she also consented to the intercourse. She was pretty adamant that she consented.
One of the hardest things I have ever had to come to terms with, as a father with a now 19 years old autistic daughter, is that she is more than capable of both refusing and giving consent. Fortunately, so far, I haven't had to introduce any prospective partner to my sword, yet.
Kind of remind me of the Brock Turner case, where the Judge give Brock a lesser sentence because he didn't wanted to see his career ruined. In other words, Brock look like one of my son. If you catch my meaning. (his victim was Asian).
For me these Plot Twists were funny and serious at the same time Pd: I enjoy when McCoy Finally shut/send to the trash Gorton's theory based on lies, actings out of what's allowed to a Lawyer and speculations Ppd: I serously recommend too the First chapter it's a good start to the series (And for the pepole who only watched SUV i recommend the first 3 seasons so you can know about Cragen's Story in the 2-7)
Handing a defendant on the witness stand that big knife (if the Judge even allowed it) would have been accompanied by a Bailiff standing near enough to prevent him from attacking someone with it. But hey, this is holly weird.
I would have liked to have seen here the court scene where McCoy drops 100s of rounds of ammo over the desk and on the floor to make his point and the judge reverses the jury decision, based on his pre-trial ruling.
There was an episode where a Supreme Justice, threw McCoy into jail. A woman was murdered. Turned out, that she had been having an affair wiith a powerful politician. The politician kept putting pressure onto McCoy to reveal the murderers Identity. When he refused, he was thrown into jail for contempt of court. The episode ended with the murderer gunned dowm by a hitman. McCoy was released from jail.
Even though they finally brought the mothership L&O back there is no comparison between the the 90s / 2000s and now. Those older episodes were like mini movies that had us glued to every scene.
@@DPMusicStudio If You Were Wrongfully Convicted Of A Crime That You Didnt Commit And Ended Up 🆙 Spending 10 Years In Prison For That Wrongful Conviction Would You Be Justified In Murdering Innocent 😇 People To Get Back 🔙 At Society For The That Wrongful Conviction?.
A common theme in these shows was that virtually everyone who was charged was found guilty. And, those who were acquitted got off by a technicality, but were usually later gunned down in a sympathetic and justifiable fit of vengeance. In other words, it consistently reinforced the notion that if you're charged then you must have done at least something wrong, which is completely contrary to the foundational principle that one is innocent unless proven guilty. However, that premise doesn't make for good TV.
Yeah I’ve learned from court shows to never say you never do something. Especially something that you did. Examples. “I never get angry.” “I never forget that”. “I never do anything bad”.
Over One Third of sober people fail a sobriety test which is why you should refuse. In fact, 46% of cops failed the test! In most states, you can refuse a sobriety test, but NOT a breathalyzer test without losing your license.
Man so many lawyers in this show ask completely out of line questions or just make wild statements WITHOUT asking a question and no one objects, it's kinda crazy.
It's interesting that Stone confronts a drunken doctor, the actor who plays him Michael Moriarty waged his own battle with alcoholism for many years. Hopefully he's sober today.
U.S. Navy aircraft carriers are not named for states... This show had several funny little moments like that, but it was still overall a good series, especially when Ben Stone was around.

Law & Order may be on Peacock, but only the SVU clip is. As for the main series, seasons 1-12 of Law & Order aren't there. Peacock's collection starts at season 13.
Yeah, “streaming now on PEACOCK”, as long as starting at Season 15 is OK with you. It’s NOT OK with me. No Michael Moriarity, no Jerry Orbach, no Jill Hennessy, no Angie Harmon, no Benjamin Bratt. At least we do have Jesse L. Martin and Sam Waterston. But not nearly enough. I don’t understand why episodes from 1990 to May, 2004 are so sacred reruns can’t be released for view, I swear I could watch LAW & ORDER 12 hours a day. With 4 different channels carrying different seasons it’s a wonderful mix of old and newer episodes. The fun with the oldest ones is sometimes I have forgotten who committed the crime. So that’s like new storylines.
Navy Blues never made sense to me. Active duty personnel almost never go to a civilian court for criminal charges, they almost always face a military court
With how often it happens on this show, you'd think they'd have a few extra security guards and metal detectors around for these big trials so the defendant isn't found not guilty and then immediately killed on his walk out of the courtroom.
Wow, after watching that last clip, I'm thinking that Lorelai got off lucky when she left Max shortly before the wedding. Prison must have chilled him out.
I love Stone, but I can't help but giggle when the drunk doctor misses his nose and everyone just gasps dramatically.

Or how about the judge who asks, “What’s going on…?” Uh, you’re not following?

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
Man so many lawyers in this show ask completely out of line questions or just make wild statements WITHOUT asking a question and no one objects, it's kinda crazy.

And the moral of the story is don't lose your temper in court while brandishing a weapon.
If a witness is drunk they aren't reliable. Of course he shouldn't be testifying.
The writing and dialog on this show used to be so good.
I always like when Jack McCoy mentioned the movie the Third Man with Orson Wells.
You know Jack is going to go off and eat someone in the court room when he wearing a red tie
That character McCoy has a way of making people reveal a side of themselves they are desperate to keep hidden.
Objection your Honor.
Overruled.
Your Honor I strenuously object.
Ok then perhaps I should take a minute and reconsider.
You can't HANDLE the truth!
Law & Order may be on Peacock, but only the SVU clip is.
As for the main series, seasons 1-12 of Law & Order aren't there. Peacock's collection starts at season 13.
LOL, they can't even trust themselves, and sailors controlling their emotions LMFAO
Sam Waterston is always fantastic. Also, fantastic guest stars like Patti Lupone made this show great.
I instantly remember the first one
Um yea he didn’t attack the guards because they’re not kids.
Jack McCoy was a courtroom Rambo. Stone was a courtroom Hathcock.
Yeah, “streaming now on PEACOCK”, as long as starting at Season 15 is OK with you. It’s NOT OK with me.
No Michael Moriarity, no Jerry Orbach, no Jill Hennessy, no Angie Harmon, no Benjamin Bratt. At least we do have Jesse L. Martin and Sam Waterston. But not nearly enough. I don’t understand why episodes from 1990 to May, 2004 are so sacred reruns can’t be released for view,
I swear I could watch LAW & ORDER 12 hours a day. With 4 different channels carrying different seasons it’s a wonderful mix of old and newer episodes. The fun with the oldest ones is sometimes I have forgotten who committed the crime. So that’s like new storylines.
Navy Blues never made sense to me. Active duty personnel almost never go to a civilian court for criminal charges, they almost always face a military court
With how often it happens on this show, you'd think they'd have a few extra security guards and metal detectors around for these big trials so the defendant isn't found not guilty and then immediately killed on his walk out of the courtroom.
We don't name aircraft carriers after states.
RIP Michael Moriarty, you will be missed, you're an angel in Heaven now, and the world is a worse place now that you're gone
Um... what? He's not dead, lol.
Wow, after watching that last clip, I'm thinking that Lorelai got off lucky when she left Max shortly before the wedding. Prison must have chilled him out.
Ron Rifkin plays a great sleazy lawyer even in SVU.
