Law & Order - RIP

The end of an era. The series that started it all is ending. After what seems like forever, but was 20 years, the original Law & Order has been canceled by NBC. Oh sure, there will still be the spin offs. In fact, there will be a new one for next season. Law & Order begat the CSI and NCIS and all the other alphabet crime shows and the idea that you could interchange actors and cities. Still, to me, this was the one that I consistently watched. It was the one I could turn on everyday and know I was in for a good hour of television. I watched every episode that first year and I have not missed many since. Goodbye old friend.
