'Everybody's Favourite Bagman' was the 1988 pilot for the series. It was shot with a sixteen millimeter movie camera, in order to give it a more immediate, gritty urban look. The camera broke early on & production was halted until a replacement could be found. This Pilot Ep. was pitched to CBS in 1988, but they didn't pick it up. NBC did two years later, & the series began. I imagine CBS regretted their decision. This pilot episode appears in the DVD collection around episode 'Five' somewhere from memory, & is marked as '1990' in the end titles, but it was in fact produced in 1988. E.C.B.
Thank you Betamax King, glad to be of help. E.C.B.
I'm just gonna pin this one at the top here. Lots of great information. Thank you for your contribution. If you have more to add, please do.
@@rickbrooks4035 You sir, truly do bang
Rick Brooks it was for Season 1 Episode 6 back in 1990.
CBS may not have picked up this show, but, at least, they got the “FBIs”.
I love how they're like, "let's change almost everything...except the theme, The theme is GOLD." for the *actual* series.
Some of the pictures are the same
they had mike post compose the music first
Sounds like life.
Replace a Mike Post theme? No way.
The Intro itself is a Cast member
“In the criminal justice system the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. Theses are their stories.”

Thanks! I’m deaf and couldn’t hear that.
A pilot in 1988, turned 6th episode. Based on an actual New York City scandal in the mid-'80s regarding a parking violations bureau. You have a city council member supposedly mugged and left for dead and this city council member was a bagman. Instead of teenagers, organized crime was responsible for the mugging, and later on corrupt city officials would be discovered to be a part of the scandal. A very interesting episode.
The scandal took place in Late-1980's. It was between October 24, 1987 to April 17, 1988.
One of the coolest thing about watching Law and order from the very beginning is how police work changed overtime over the course of 20 years from typewriters in the office to computers
Season 1: Detectives using payphones on the field to communicate back to the precinct, prosecutors using landline phone records as evidence
Season 21: Detectives sending photos through iMessenger to the precinct, prosecutors using Slack conversations as evidence
Welcome to 2024.
Season One of SVU, Cragen had to have the concept of a chat room explained to him which itself sounds aincent.
This really captures that New York City film noir vibe quite well👌🏼
Detective Mike Logan (Chris Noth) has to be one of my favourite detectives in the entire series.
Yes, yes y yes👍🏻
My favorite episode!!!!
OH MY GOD! YOU POSTED THE ORIGINAL PILOT OPENING! I have been looking for it years. When NBC Universal or Wolfe Productions put it on streaming, they altered the opening to match the rest of the series and it pissed me off cause A. Steven Hill wasn't on the show yet and it was an interesting artifact.
Thank you!
Great show. MrBlueSky... pepper yoself.
Originally, CBS was supposed to air this show, but surprisingly, NBC got it in 1990, causing "Law and Order" to be the last great show to have the 1975-1991 Universal Television logo (1986 theme was used though)
Thanks for uploading this. Such a gritty title sequence in all the right ways, love it.
It really captured that film noir vibe 👌🏼
1:22 🎶 "Hey, you lawyer guys. You don’t know me and Johnny are watchin' you...while we’re high. " 🎵
I don’t even watch the show the intro is just so good
Holy crap. This was for the pilot episode? I wish they included it other syndications like DVDs and such. That is so awesome.
Same here but they used the main season 1 intro and credits on the DVDs.
I was "today" years old when I learned that the pilot was almost aired on CBS instead of NBC. I'm dead serious!
If Law & Order premiered in the 80s, this would be the intro.
This was the theme for the very first episode in the 90s
This episode "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was produced in 1988 but was picked up by NBC in 1990.
It would be made in 1980 instead of 1988 or 1990.
Originally entitled “Everyone’s Favorite Bagman.” I love this opening.
A masterpiece was born!
I am from The Netherlands, and here they always used this theme song all the way up to season 22. The US tune i have never heared it before on Dutch TV.
October 30, 1990, to be precise.
This was intro was for the original pilot but it never aired like this because when NBC aired the original pilot episode it was for the 6th episode with the main intro
The 'Law & Order' theme is indeed, Brilliantly crafted...& it mates to this series Superbly. Written by Mike Post...[real name Mike Postil]. When asked by Post, if the theme was what he had in mind for the series....Dick Wolf, producer of 'Law & Order' replied..."Mike....I don't know how you do, what you do.....but I'm sure glad you do it for me"!! I can only concur 110%. With thanks to "Betamax King & 'Fate is Me'. E.C.B.
That's quite a different opening than the regular one.
Ikr?
This is the Season 1 pilot intro!!
@@jameswise3971 From the night 🌚 of October 30, 1990, to be exact. And the _Law👮🏻 & Order 📑_ pilot 🧑🏻✈️ was entitled “Everybody’s Favorite 🔖 Bagman.”
I like ❤️ it, Alex!
This is the regular one lol SVU was the spin off
Wow this makes me feel like I’m 4 years old and my moms watching law and order lol crazy nostalgia from this song. I Always play the little guitar diddlies on the guitar haha
I'll assume you mean the song just makes you 'nostalgic', for reruns of the show you mom watched when you were 4 (or most likely older). I doubt you were 4 years old watching this pilot episode of the show in 1988 or 1990.
I saw this on A&E back in 2000 and 2001, and on TNT back in 2005.
One of the best shows made. You learn a lot from it. I always wondered how police would find out who did what from nothing, watching this show, I learned a lot. What I like about it, it is realistic, not like other shows where it has a lot of BS, I think this is one of the reasons that it stayed the best, the original is far better than the spin offs (SVU and CI), not putting them down, they are great too, but the original is the best of them all.
Where it all began...
Just heard this show may be coming back had to hear the words that started it all😆😆😆
I only play this just to remember my grandma watching this tv show when I got home from high school LOVE YOU nana Lidia 🤍
I first saw the original 1988 pilot on A&E in the spring or summer 1999. I feel like they made a big deal out of airing it, it wasn’t just part of the regular schedule, but maybe I’m wrong and I just made a big deal out of it myself. I was only 14 and it seemed so odd and foreign to me!
I also can’t remember if they used this unique intro for the airing. I feel like they did? I’ve seen it somewhere, anyway. So cool.
Me too. I first saw the ending of it in the Spring Of 2000, Spring Of 2001, and Spring or Summer Of 2005.
I saw the pilot intro of Law & Order on A&E. It gives me great memories.
1994-2002
@@XavierMedina1996 September 5 (Labor 👷🏻 Night 🌚), 1994--August 31 (Labor 👷🏻 Day Weekend), 2002, to be precise.
Okay, this answers my question as to where I’d seen the opening! I saw it on A&E in 1999 then. Thanks for your great memory!
@@cellytron My pleasure 😇.
😢 I miss the old school
This song fucking slaps.
It’s crazy to see how much this show has changed from its start in 1990 to the introduction of Organized Crime in 2021. Law and Order has been here throughout and will continue
law and order svu is def top tier tho
And this they return to the original for season 21
I mean yeah it’s been around but the series has been kind of dead since 2013-2015.
This is fantastic, and very much looks like a product of its time.
Love the tape flutter, I’ve always found that cool
They need to bring this back on A&E and TNT.
They’re on WEtv, Sundance & BBC America all the time.
No way. You gotta be kidding me.
Definitely A&E.
The different font makes it look like a completely different series altogether.
In "Everybody's Favorite Bagman," where local city councilman and former bagman Charles Halsey was mugged and his throat slashed, detectives Logan (Chris Noth) and Greevey (George Dzundza) investigates the case and the two young black male suspects initially caught. Their suspicions turn to organized crime when they link the victim to the Musucci family soldier Tony Scalisi (Paul Guilfoyle).
As prosecutors Stone (Michael Moriarty) and Robinette (Richard Brooks) continue their investigation, they uncover a corruption scandal involving a councilman; the collection of parking meter violation fines has been awarded to a firm connected to organized crime. To avoid the appearance of impropriety, District Attorney Wentworth (Roy Thinnes) won't allow Stone to offer Scalisi immunity. However, in order to win their case, their only option might be to make a deal with the mobster.
Stone discovers that the case involves not only organized crime, but also elected city officials and a deputy police commissioner whom he accuses of changing his testimony and doctoring evidence in a past case. Stone is unable to use the police because of suspected corruption within the department, so he consults Assistant U.S. Attorney John McCormick (William H. Macy).
For the episode, Roy Thinnes was cast as District Attorney Wentworth. However, by the time the production of Law & Order began in 1990, Thinnes had already moved on to star in another series, and was declined to continue the role. Veteran actor Steven Hill was selected as his replacement to portray District Attorney Adam Schiff.
Crazy to think how long ago this was. Most of the events in the pictures were probably 10-15 old, tops when this first aired
This brings me back
I wished they kept this opening with the cell closing
The other same one of the pilot I saw of the same episode, the titles were just like the ones as the series, but it was release as episode 6 for the 1st Season which was back in 2006.
A stupid decision on NBC's part. This should have aired first and they could have easily had Steven Hill film new scenes since he wasn't the original DA here and came in by the OFFICIAL first episode.
It was from the pilot episode filmed in 1988 shown in 1990. It’s called everyone’s favorite bagman. Or everybody’s favorite bagman.
You've got it, Jonathan! October 30, 1990, to be precise.
The guitar twang.
Pretty cool. Steven Hill (DA Adam Schiff) is missing.
It is very interesting if it is they used this intro to pilot episode
But the DVD version uses the more iconic intro.
Also if I remember that episode Adam Schiff wasn't the original DA but he appears as in the intro in DVD version of everybody's favourite bagman
I live this intro

So looking forward to seeing the new series here in the uk in January 😀😀😀😀😀
I only saw this pilot intro, only once.
I saw it back in 2000, 2001, and 2005.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this would be the 1988 pilot intro.
I've never followed the show. It could be from earlier. This particular copy was recorded from TV in 1997. If you can find out, let me know.
It is 1988
It is from 1988.
This is what I was looking for. Thanks.
Can you do the end credits from 1988. Thanks.
I never followed the show but if someone can confirm what many have said about it being the pilot into, I'd like to update the title, year and description accordingly. Thanks!
It's the pilot intro no way,
@@rafaelrojas8205 Yes 👍, Rafael, it is.
Well the year would have been 1988 and it wasn’t picked up for another year or so. And the D.A wasn’t actually Steven Hill’s Adam Schiff but Roy Thinnes best known for his role in the 60s sci-fi, The Invaders. Plus when they did air this in season 1, they aired the episode out of order in relation to the rest of the series, so at that point Greeley was still a detective and not a sergeant
What's the pilot's premise?
Yep, @Madu Nwagbo is right, it was then ran as episode 6 after it was passed around from FOX to CBS to NBC. I guess people preferred watching the real "COPS" on FOX basically beat the crap out of people and say "Oooh look, we found some drugs!" to help the police force salvage its reputation after it beat the crap out of someone or shot them to death
This wasn't the only show to use a blue filter on film/photo footage from 1988. That fall, SNL had an intro using a blue filter with a slightly noir look at NYC.
I'm puzzled if this is the original pilot intro, or just a different syndicated intro.
It was the original pilot 🧑🏻✈️ intro for _Law 👮🏻 & Order 📑_ entitled ”Everybody’s Favorite 🔖 Bagman,” which originally aired 💨 on NBC on the night 🌚 of October 30, 1990, at 10 pm Eastern.
I don't think it's an alternate one for syndication since the logo is completely different in 0:50 (not the familiar Friz Quadrata) and doesn't use the blue and red tints for the main character cards.
I'm wondering if everything until 0:15 is just the stock template slapped onto the pilot since it uses the modern logo and red and blue glow.
This was for the pilot, which aired on CBS. When it aired as part of season 1 on NBC, they superimposed the 1990 graphics. I do remember seeing this once when the pilot aired on A&E, obviously a long time ago.
Question: when the original Law and Order returns next year will they keep the mid-80s stock footage for the intro or use new footage under the Mike Post theme?
They'll most likely keep it. Why change it? It's much cheaper and timeless (ish). Just like the X Files revival intro, though they could've used newer cast photos
Answer: Completely new intro with a new recording of the theme (neither of which holds a candle to the old Dzundza/Sorvino-era episodes)
My mom loves this show 😃
“Let’s all go to court. Let’s go make some law now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, some law. Bow… I say we go to court.
John: Yes, let’s go to court.
Ted: We’re a bunch of assholes who take up a whole hallway with our conversation. [Ted continues to sing to the theme tune as it finishes] Hey, you lawyer guys. You don’t know me and Johnny are watching you. While we’re high.”
But we need "Bonk Bonk".
THERE YOU GO
I'm surprised that the D.A. doesn't appear in the opening here. Then again, the D.A. in this episode never made a second appearance, so...
I hope the poster of this still has this saved physically just in case NBC gets Trigger happy with copyright. Unsolved Mysteries specials AKA season 0 were uploaded then taken down due to copyright. They have all 12 Robert Stack seasons but season 0 was hosted by Raymond Burr,Karl Marlden and then Raymond Stack.

What was the question
@@BetamaxKing Mike Post combined the sound of a slamming jail door, an anvil & 100 men stomping on a floor for this series that debuted in 1990
Michael Scott nailed the intro.
Taped in 1988 but broadcast in 1990

Okay, everyone. Please stop with the “Law & Order” jokes. They’ve all been done done.
Law of order 1990 theme 0:01
This is the pilot for everyone’s information

Can you download the full episode and the end credits. Thanks.
“Let’s all go to court”

I love it!!!?
Why isn’t every season of Law & Order available for streaming on Peacock?
I am not sure why
the show also aired on WEtv
So interestingly
This is the original one and not the WETV one
Steven Hill as District Attorney Schiff did not appear in this pilot. Roy Thinnes of The Invaders fame played the District Attorney Aflred Wentworth instead. Paul Guilfoyle who played Las Vegas Metro Police detective Jim Brass on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation played a mob member turned reluctant informant in the pilot. The pilot episode was pitched to CBS and then FOX before it was sold to NBC.

This is so much better than SVU and LA.
LA for sure, but not SVU. SVU is the prime gem of the whole franchise.
Hell no. LA for sure, but not SVU which is the prime gem of the whole franchise and why it's still running longer than any drama show inside and outside L&O.
Not to mention CI, C&P, TBJ, UK and OC, though
SVU = Special Victims Unit
CI = Criminal Intent
C&P = Crime & Punishment
TBJ = Trial by Jury
UK = UK (itself) (or United Kingdom)
LA = Los Angeles
OC = Organized Crime
I think they change this way later, where the police cast are blue filter then the district attorney's change to a red filter.
They changed it immediately, only the pilot got this intro with the jail cell sound.
Never saw the pilot introduction
Always forgot how thin George was in the pilot episode
I bet you 'till this day CBS is kicking itself for not picking up L&O.
No sign of Steven Hill, I see
He probably wasn’t cast as Adam Schiff as the time.
Yeah, the late Steven Hill was not cast as Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Adam Schiff at the time this originally premiered, bro

0:13, cue the music!
Was the pilot ever aired? and how come it was never shown on the first season on DVD?
it's on the dvd as episode 6
The titles and font type are in Impact.
I have the DVDs of Season 1 and 5 and I can confirm it’s on the 2 disc, episode 6 titled “Everyone Favourite bagman”, I got confused when I watched it because I didn’t expect the quality of the footage to not be as good as the others
@@Transitfan93 ok
where can i find the full episode?
Any box set of season 1 I think. The episode isn't rare, just this televised intro.
Would someone please download the credits of the pilot episode. Thanks.
