90s film aesthetic was, and is, super attractive to view. I like the crystal clarity you get today but this just feels real and filthy.
This was actually late 1980s. I agree that this just feels gritty.
😻👏❤️
@@jaytimmerman992 The show premiered in September 1990, which, only technically, is part of the 80s, but most people would call it the 90s.
I much rather the way this was filmed, now days sometimes too clear🤷
@@richardvinsen2385 premiered doesn’t mean filmed in the 90s could have been filmed in the late 80s
"Flash but basically trash" just perfect. Beautiful
Why do I find the camerawork in this era of the show more enticing
it is as though we are there and the cameras are our eyes. It is amazing.
@@paulsmallriver6066 Perspective?
nihar2009 nostalgia maybe
IIRC, this was before they started using steadicams on the show, so it has a more documentary feel to it I think.
I like the 90s grain, look of the picture or whatever you call it on cop shows more. Bit darker and less in focus. Not on everything, but on this it fits.
That look of appreciation and amazement on Logan’s face when a witness provides thorough info.😆
Lmao
So much grittier than it is now. Uncomfortable angles, realistic lighting, more about the plot and less about the players - much better in my book.
Yes. The production style really stands out today. No laugh tracks either!
Part of that may be due to the zoomed shots at the beginning. The original filmed inserts may no longer exist so they used the master copy. It wouldn't have mattered to the original audience watching on standard-definition television.
@@icemachine79 Pan scans?
@@seanwebb605 Similar idea, but that's for fitting 16:9 widescreen film (rectangular) on a 4:3 (more squarish) TV screen. In this case, they probably zoomed in on a working copy of the raw developed film while editing the master version which accounts for the slight blurriness and reduced detail in high definition. To fix it, somebody would have to dig up the original negatives used to film those scenes. But chances are those negatives and/or working copies don't exist anymore.
@@icemachine79 I know. I work in TV.
This is why I will always admire the original cast. It was awesome to see this. If this cast had never been great, the other L&O's would never have been.
Brisco was too iconic
Smoking a cigar in a high-end clothing store - it really was early days!
Just 30 years ago.
Also unrealistic. No high end store would allow you to stink up their merch or their store with a stogie.
Bruce Karaus maybe he was just breaking balls
I'm pretty sure this was actually the pilot episode, so yeah really early days
Bruce Karaus New York , early 90’z late 80’z ...seems highly likely to me
Let's remember, the earliest shows were good enough to keep the show on the air. Every bit as good as the Briscoe era if you ask me.
This is one of the first episodes. Detective Greevey is thinner and the city’s midtown is still a bit ragged. They cruise on an 80’s Chrysler squad car. The Garment District was still littered with sweatshops. Those were the days.
This was the orginal pilot
Oh yes sweat shops were sure wonderful weren't they? Working people to the bone and paying them pennies.
@@RexTheDinosaur1 Ha ha ha. There are people will complain about these small businesses in one breath than complain about big corporations in the next breath.
Sean Webb but the person didn’t complain about small companies?
@@ghr8036 They have, they do they will continue to
Richard Brooks (Paul Robinette) deserves more praise than he gets for his performances. Its interesting to watch early episodes where he is hushed when it comes to race, and think about how that likely developed the character into the defense attorney we see in much later episodes.
Admittedly it was character development I didn’t care for, as by the time he became a defence attorney, everything became about race to him and he used that to get a lot of bad people acquitted for truly heinous crimes.
Richard and Stone are my two favorite ADAs! Both have amazing voices in both have no nonsense approach when it comes to the law!
I think the only other one that even meets close them would be of course Barba!
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663You're right, and the original poster is reading too much into it.
Robinette coming back as a defense attorney obsessed with racial issues doesn't match his character from the early seasons when he stood for justice in any situation. It's lazy, sensationalism from the writers.
Richard Brooks is a terrific actor, and deserved to have that same level of depth to his character when he portrayed a defense attorney in a later episode.
Every one of these clips I watch I see actors I recognize from big shows. It’s amazing how many stars got their start here.
"hey lets film in an actual restaurant"
[Have to replace half the dialogue with ADR]
"Okay, let's never try to film a scene in a restaurant again"
Treblaine ADR?
@@jacobsaccount9353 ADR = dubbing over an actor's lines after you've filmed the scene.
Treblaine im confused because i could hear his voice perfectly? I dont get it
@@jacobsaccount9353 When they filmed it in the noisy restaurant the sound recordings on the set were useless as microphones can't single out voices like human ears can. So they had to call back the actors to a sound booth to speak their lines again and try to sync up their voices with the footage filmed then also add back the background noises at a lower level.
This is called ADR (Auto Dialogue Replacement) and it's why some dialogue sounds strangely off. You can't put your finger on it, your mind is really good at recognising "hey, that doesn't sound right" but you don't necessarily logically know why.
It's far easier to book a restaurant and fill it with extras who are all trained to "act normal" but be ABSOLUTELY SILENT. It's spooky to see, you'll have a whole restaurant full of extras who look like they're talking, eating and laughing but none of them make a sound. Because no one wants the director to yell cut because something your fake conversation said momentarily drowned out the main actor's dialogue.
In the final editing process the editor carefully adds just a tiny bit of background noise of people chattering and laughing at a level where it never detracts from the performance of the named actors unless the director specifically wants certain sounds to be heard in the background.
Treblaine ohhhh i see, i noticed their voices sounded louder at some parts and softer at others but tjats only because im using earphones so with out them i wouldn't of noticed. Also years ago i used to watch Fraser and i noticed when ever he was in a cafe with someone the people in the background looked like they were miming. lmao😂. Thanks for telling me bro 👍👍👍
3:28-3:36 their faces when he mentioned who the coat was for was priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss law and order. I watch the reruns all the time. Too Bad they didn’t continue the series of the original.
Yeah, I could never get into any of the spin offs. The original series was fantastic. Particularly the first few seasons.
@@seanwebb605 SVU is the worst.
@@terrylejones1340 I know, right? Who wants to drive a Sports Vehicle Utility? Not me!
@@seanwebb605 😅🤣😂
Law and order stopped being great when Lenny and Claire weren't part of the show.
this woman plays every third wife on this show, and you cant convince me otherwise. mad props to her for her acting range though.
I was looking for this comment.
Was this actress of the size 12 coat character the same women who played the severely abused mother who severely and horribly abused (burning them in hot water comes to mind) children in her care?
@@melanierosalez6989 yes
You're not wrong! Just 3 eps later she was playing the utterly brutalized wife, so abused and broken she was completely in thrall to her sadistic husband...and appeared twice more in the show. Kudos Marcia Jean Kurtz.
The way they put a single actor into several roles is odd. It makes me take it less seriously, like vaudeville or sketch com.
What episode was that? The one with the abused mother?
It was freaky when she said to Paul "I've been expecting you" It's like a fugitive who knows he or she is eventually going to be caught.
“What am I Karnak “, LOL
I don't get it
@@zarachastellaris9016 Apparently he is a mind reader from back in the day
@@Zak6959 thanks
@@zarachastellaris9016On the old Tonight Show, Johnny Carson did a recurring bit, where he wears a turban and robe, as Karnak the mind reader.
Is that the same actress who played didis crazy mother?
April Mayday yes I noticed too!
Yes, shes a good actress in my opinion
Yes it is!!!!
Yes Miss Carla
Yes. The L&O verse is chock full of dopplegangers.
Loved how Stone and Robinette ganged up on that family lawyer, if that's who he was. Stone sure had a way of threatening people.
The Mother is the same one as in the episode that her child got abused and died. Look up Didis Wound
RCLJ Kane yup
That's was her.
Indeed! She is a brilliant actress.
I miss the original Law & Order.
When I tore my meniscus, I discovered Law and Order basically on tap.
I GORGED on it. Loved it.
I agree it was more raw!
Me too 🥺
This episode establishes Stone's intolerance for stupidity, before he started calling people "Sir" or "Ma'am".
How is it do they make these old shows look like modern shows except this one? Man what a show. They should honestly bring it back for at least 5 more seasons.
This is the pilot filmed in 1988.
@@MrPolicekarim Literally filmed, too. Visible grain and everything, not to mention a big helping of ADR right there in the middle.
@@NiceTryLaoChe They were all filmed, but some of the first episodes were shot in 16mm film (which doesn't help with the quality) and in a 4:3 aspect ratio. For their remasters, the licensing company decided to crop it to a 16:9 aspect ratio. That's why everything seems so "close up" to the camera, and why there's such visible grain.
@@irixperson Thank you. However, I've noticed that they are all in HD which makes it feel like it's a modern show rather your typical 90s show. So, like season 1 through 4, they seemed like the early 2000s and the intro fonts and head shots are a little different rather than when it was the 90s back then. Of course I was born in 2000s, but these shows seem really realistic and look real, I wish they bring the show back.
However, they should bring it back the original way where it's dark, intense and it fits the theme of the story. Sadly, SVU is really all about politics and Olivia and has ran out of fresh ideas in terms of storytelling. It's good that the show lives on through syndication, but it can brought back. And Robert Goren should be on that show too.
@@princewilliams1298 I completely agree. I used to watch SVU until about the tenth season, and I checked out when it became absolutely political.
Part of the problem with Special Victims Unit is that every case is the same or centers around the same subject (molestation) and after twenty seasons that'll become boring.
5:20 Stone called the Perp Anthony Scelisi but the Lawyer called him Tony Scelisi , which meant he knew him.. hence "Coffee for the Lawyer"
I often felt stone put robinette in unfair positions, assuming his point of view and accusing Robinetfe, for lack of a better phrase, “black and white” thinking. This is perhaps due to the writers of the show at the time having a clumsy (rather than nuanced) understanding of race. And this is coming from someone who for the most part really liked Ben stone as a character.
I don't think they were naive.
See Paul's eyes roll when she says "Black boy"...?
Considering how racial motivated Robinette becomes in much later seasons of Law and Order, he ultimately chose to be a black man first and a lawyer second when he became a defence attorney, which is exactly what Stone was trying to teach him not to become during their time together.
Without a doubt, this is the best episode in the 1st season
The look in his eyes at 2:32 ... Detective Greevey is not a man to be trifled with!
That was a little atta boy shove the driver got from Logan 😂😂
The original pilot...shot in 1988! NYC was very different 35 years ago. Fascinating to compare this to season 22 of the revived L&O: Original Flavor...
these early episodes are basically historical documentaries. Look at downtown newyork pre 9/11
3:43 "What am I, Karnak?"
"Sis-Boom-Bah!"
yes children, you once were allowed to smoke indoors in NYC.
LoL
Don't trust that truck driver..he was in on the Luftansa heist
No idea what his name is but he has been in so many shows and movies.
Mike Starr
He was also in "Dumb and Dumber," with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
But he redeemed himself. Steven Seagal knocked some sense into him at a bar and he just needed time to be a better man.
He was in Goodfellas?
God I miss L and O when it was like this. I thought Chris Noth was the cat's pajamas. (I mean, he *still* is, but you know what I mean.) NYC , late 80s. And the Jerry Orbach era. It was just never the same after that.
@edraythecrazy I never knew that! Cool. He'd have been a bad fit for that, I think. He's Lenny , I mean, he just *IS.*
@edraythecrazy Thank you for sharing such interesting information! Did not know any of that. Mr. Orbach is one of my all time favorite stars, for sure.
The truck driver is played by Mike Starr.
He had roles in two more episodes.
6:10 they dubbed “your friend” over the original dialogue and now i can’t unhear it 😂
phan2187 - holland oh my gosh! Lol how did you catch that! I wonder what the original dialogue was !
OsayaPapaya i heard something off with the audio so i replayed it again to see if i was right and lo and behold, it was dubbed over 😂 and same here! i wonder what was actually said haha
3:45, many times it seemed Noth was out of character and just enjoying a good joke or dialogue line, lol
Wife has been in two different shows
Meaghan Larsen she played the one that abused the kids in another episode
Vidalia Smallwood yes, she did a good job acting to two totally different rolls
I'm still crackling everytime I hear Ben Stone says butt 😂😂😂
OHHH MY WORD. look at mr noth. yes please lite my fire. baby. all that hair too 🥰🥰💝😍😍💞💘💘
It's so interesting so these early episode again for their cast. The "she's in sweaters" guy at the end played Sebastian/Jack the Ripper from Babylon 5.
Why yes. Yes he did.
He also played lits of different aliens on the show too.
I keep forgetting that the actor is NOT British. Also, he was Lorien as well on B5.
Ahhh, 1990... when the ADR was blatantly obvious when shooting in a crowded restaurant.
Love the gritty film look!
Favorite cast of the series
The actress who plays Miss Halsey at the end of this video also appears in the "Law & Order" video "Not Another Cyberpunk Death".
Uh uh I caught that Whoopi shade...
Classic Law and Order ❤️
Imagine a modern day TV show shot like we see here. Beautiful.
Yes, I loved the gritty look and feel of the first few years. Then it got a more polish and clean look. But still one of my favorite shows.
Best drama ever...Hill Street Blues prodigal child.
3:48 That's Worldwide Plaza being constructed on the left; Filmed as early as '86 or as late as '89.
The show was first broadcast in 1990, so probably 1989.
@@RonJohn63 it was broadcast in Late-1988.
Tony is a witness I would be like. I’d always know what cars are at a scene.
Awesome show
Woah! Timey-wimey stuff! That's River Song, AND Jubal Early :D
Gm cabs and Chrysler cop cars man, it's like looking back on another century.....
0:17 "Pills are goooood! Pills are goooooooooood!"
Everybody's favorite bagman
6:56 The way she is breathing and looking at Paul.Was she acting?
The haberdasher from scene two sounds like a 1970s TV game show host.
How rude! Whoopi Goldberg is one of few acclaimed EmmyGrammyOscarTony winning entertainers
TeaAtTwo at the time wasn’ti don’t believe
Whoopi Goldberg is a regular guess star in the Law & Order world. the writers are always dropping her name in episodes.
EGOT, for short.
At this point Golberg was a stand up comedian known for loud and trashy outfits.
@@hollaback5935 Whoopi had won a Grammy, Golden Globe and been nominated for an Oscar by this point.
Maggie looked so cute here.
Yes she does.
That is one beautiful woman.
Plus the uniform kinda helps too.
Who is she?
@@Chase0420 i am curious too
6:05 you can hear the dialogue from the guy on the right switching between ADR takes. Sounds like different microphones.
I thought Greevey was Sergeant all the way, even on the "Bagman" pilot.
"I will send it back!" Office anyone? lol
Just casual shade thrown on Whoopi Goldberg there 😅
I’m too distracted by those hairstyles 🤣
That shop owner at 1:45 has been in several episodes of all the shows. Has long grey hair in them..
Omg chris noth got a nose job!
I didn’t realize the show was so long running.
Yep! It started all the way back in 1990 :)
I wasn’t even born yet when this came out and I love it
Same here
I’ve seen these two actors (the couple) in like 5 other episodes playing different people
Something about Irish girls
...
Now wtf that Merly Streep Whoopi Goldberg comparison???
What am I, ........... Carnac? LOL.
Young Chris Noth is a Hunk
Oh yes.
"I'll have your butt." We all know if this wasn't the pilot episode he would have said ass. At least it's not as cringy as the infamous "frosts my cookies" line from the beginning of the episode.
Gotta love Jubal Early!
5:59 I thought Stone was about to backhand that guy
3:46 Howard Johnson's on 8th AVE, wonder what ever happened to that building?
Delivery guy was in the movie Who's That Girl? with Madonna late 80's early 90's
Wow, everyone looks so young.
*sees the fur coats* cRueLLA dA vIL!!!! XD
Ratting out people is why Jimmy the Gent whacked you, delivery guy.
at 3:48 you can see to the left worldwide plaza being built at 350 west 50th street. this must have been shot in 1988 the building was done in 1989.
You can tell they converted this episode of law and order to digital cause this was season 1 which was 30 yrs ago in 1990. Videos from tv shows from 20 to 25 yrs ago look ancient compared to today's video technology.
I wouldn't call an EGOT flashy and trashy!!!
Heh - Logan’s hair crest is as high as Matt Gaetz’s!
I loved law & order! My husband an I would watch the first 15 minutes an then guess at date, story the episode is telling! It was a lot of fun, cause there was a lot of material to cover. The one about the highly publicized ice figure skaters and the cheerleader's mom was more sickening in a different manner of speaking! In other words, people let anger along with thinking too much, cloud the very morals of they're life!!! 👿😠🙏❤️
Pookie's looking better.
I can't never find these episodes
this is her third performance
That player
The delivery driver is the same guy that gets his nose broken and humiliated, playing an oil rig worker, in that crappy Steven Segal movie about the indians up in Alaska
Fun to see all these actors so young. Especially the truck driver who later became the gas man from Dumb and Dumber and also from The Bodyguard . I can’t place the cute cop that wanted dinner, anyone know her?
What am I Karnak rofl.
Wish to subscribe but each episode has no start and no ending. In short, SHORT CUT
I really do love law and order but now the series is short where is the middle and the end or if I may say where is the end series
Does anyone know why season one episode 6 is always shown out of order? Every network does it. Baffled.
I just realized no one’s idle at their job just talking with their coworkers, everyone’s absorbed in what they’re doing.
Everybody’s thinner too, by 2022 standards
Por que não conseguimos assistir essa série antiga no Brasil???? Impossível encontrar...
Lamento ter que incentivar a pirataria, mas é o jeito aqui
"Flash but trash...."
Must be Whoopi Goldberg's
ms idk looks like the same character from the "didi's wound" case
