Law & Order is an American police procedural and legal drama television series, created by Dick Wolf and part of the Law & Order franchise. It originally aired on NBC and, in syndication, on various cable networks. Law & Order premiered on September 13, 1990, and completed its 20th and final season on May 24, 2010. At the time of its cancellation, Law & Order was the longest-running crime drama on American prime-time television. After The Simpsons, both Law & Order and Gunsmoke tied for the second longest-running scripted American prime-time series with ongoing characters.
Set and filmed in New York City, the series follows a two-part approach: The first half hour is the investigation of a crime (usually murder) and apprehension of a suspect by New York City Police Department homicide detectives; the second half is the prosecution of the defendant by the New York County Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Plots are often based on real cases that recently made headlines, although the motivation for the crime and the perpetrator may be different.
Briscoe (Ode to Lennie Briscoe)
By Gregg
Metcalf
(Rip off of
The Theme to Bonanza)
He chased a
dream, ‘forever it seems, Briscoe.
With a gun
and a star, and a police car, chased bad guys. He got hold of a shield of gold,
Briscoe
With his
partner and a code, through the streets he rode, how lucky can a fellow be.
On the
force he set a course, Briscoe is the name, lady luck smiled, the day he filed his
claim.
Here in the
city, among the gritty, Briscoe, if anyone breaks the law, he
faces off
with him, Briscoe
Curtis and Mike
and Joe like every bust he made, no one works, plays, or fights like him and no
one’s afraid. There they work in the middle of New York.
With a gun
and a star and a police car, chasing bad guys, He got hold of a shield of Gold,
Briscoe
With a
precinct of friends where law and order begins, how lucky can a fellow be?
Here in the
city, among the gritty, Briscoe is the name if anyone breaks the law, he faces off
with him, Briscoe
With the
bravest bunch and loyal cops, they will pull out all of the stops
And he’s
happier than them all
That’s why he’s
Briscoe... Briscoe... Briscoe...
