Law & Order is an American police procedural and legal drama
television series created by Dick Wolf. It has been broadcast on
NBC since its debut on September 13, 1990. Set in New York City,
the series follows the professional lives of several police
officers and prosecutors who represent the public interest in the
criminal justice system.
Law & Order, the longest running crime series and the second
longest-running drama series in the history of American broadcast
television, started its 18th season on NBC in the winter of 2008.
The brainchild of creator Dick Wolf, Law & Order is the most
successful brand in the history of primetime television; the winner
of the 1997 Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series; ties Cheers
and M*A*S*H for the most consecutive best series nominations
(eleven) and the longest-running drama series currently on American
television.
The series has also turned into one of entertainment's
preeminent brands using a distinct ripped from the headlines
format, and has spawned the successful spinoffs Law & Order:
Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Crime &
Punishment and Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Filmed entirely in
and around New York City, this realistic yet fictional drama looks
at crime and justice from a dual perspective. Law & Order has
been renewed through 2009 and delivers some of the highest ratings
on television, ranking fourth for any drama on any network among
adults 18-49 for the past four full seasons. Season-to-date, the
show remains a top-25 series among adults 18-49, a top-20 series in
total viewers and one of the most upscale dramas on television. Law
& Order was also television's #5 drama in overall total viewers
for the 2003-04 season with an average of 15.9 million viewers.
Law & Order is noted for its revolving cast. None of the
original six cast members is currently on the program, although
Chris Noth, who played Detective Mike Logan, appeared on Law &
Order: Criminal Intent from 2005-2008 and Dann Florek, who played
Capt. Don Cragen, currently appears on Law & Order: Special
Victims Unit, both reprising their original characters. Five of the
longest-serving cast members are Steven Hill as D.A. Adam Schiff
(1990-2000), Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe (1992-2004),
S. Epatha Merkerson as Lt. Anita Van Buren (1993-present), Sam
Waterston as A.D.A./D.A. Jack McCoy (1994-present), and Jesse L.
Martin as Detective Ed Green (1999-2008). Michael Imperioli played
junior detective Nick Falco in the last four episodes of the 15th
season, while Jesse L. Martin took time off to film the movie Rent.
Steven Hill was the last member of the first season cast to leave
the show, though even he did not appear in the series' pilot
episode. It is widely believed that Hill's character, Adam Schiff,
was based on real life New York County District Attorney Robert M.
Morgenthau who still serves in the post, aged 89.
