Lenny Briscoe has left us. - Noelie - 01-03-2005
I was always a fan of Jerry Orbach and the news of his passing made me very sad.

I like lawyer's dramas. I was always watching L.A. Law. Which is your favorite? "Law and Order" and "L.A. Law"
Kenji, when they eventually begin offering the seasons on DVD, I recommend buying them highly if you don't have otherwise access. IMHO, it's a shame that CSI beat them on Tuesday considering the only thing worthwhile is the special effects (and Crossing Jordan is a pisspoor imitation of that).

I love L&O and am addicted to the reruns. He was also a Tony award winning song and dance man. I loved him in DIRTY DANCING, too, one of my favorite films. He was a great animal lover and supported Bide-A-Wee, a rescue/adoption agency in NYC.
And, finally, Jerry Orbach reminded me of my late father-in-law (ex), who was a great guy, funny and loved to sing, too, though he wasn't much of a dancer.
I found it funny that Paul Sorvino had to leave the show because the cold air hurt his singing voice, but Jerry Orbach, who also was a singer, didn't have a problem at all.

Wow, everybody Law&Order fan!? Oooookay! Someday, somehow I'll buy L&O DVD box-set.
Thank you for recommendation.

I just saw a bit of the memorial that friends and family had for Jerry Orbach today here in NY. Lots of photos of his very long career and all the "Law & Order" folks saying wonderful things, along with many, many others.
I miss him. I feel like I lost a friend. I guess that's because I watch L&O so much.

In my mind, there is no comparision, Kenji. "Law & Order" is by far the superior show. It is, IMO, the best drama I've ever seen on TV. It's been playing for 15 years and now has 3 spin offs.
I watch the reruns repeatedly. I've seen some episodes 3 or 4 times, and they are still worth watching again.
Yup, there are many of us who are L&O addicts.
Last week, I bought 1st season's DVD box set. Fortunately, it was low price. But show is very high quality.
