Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In the show Law & Order, are the cops law or order? I'd always pegged them as order, although they should be sequenced first.

Yeah, it should be Order & Law to go in order. You know they developed it like that because at the time everything doing well in syndication was a half-hour show and Dick Wolf wanted to make sure he could syndicate it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd always seen it as the cops being enforcers of order and lawyers--well, they have law right in their name.

Well, Mr. Wolf sure did a good syndication job. Season 20 and I read that if NBC doesn't pick up 21, TNT will.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yes, that's how I see it, too, I was just trying to make a case for the other way.

I did not know that syndication was the reason for it. Huh.

Our wings are not tired.

Now we have nothing for mac to give him and no ideas.

What about a LeatherMan tool?

Luckily they never had to actually sell it as separate half hours.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am sure he has one.

I am going back to the best of 2007 and 2008 book lists. I will find some things there.

Sorry, -t. I didn't get that you were advocating for the devil.

I can't imagine actually consuming the show separately. Of course, it's a lot blurrier now, with more personal consideration and quite recently LESS COURTROOM TIME.

I was thinking about giving my father a knife this year, but seriously the last thing he needs is a new pocketknife. Of course, that's the problem -- he doesn't really need anything!

Oh der. I should get him tickets for something.

I just had to go to the L&O Wikipedia page, and guess who is still on the show from the 2nd season?
