This time around for the Saturday Seven, I wanted to list my favorite characters from the show Law and Order. Not the spinoffs, but the original. I’m very particular about this show. It’s one of the only ones I’ve ever been upset about it going off the air. Yeah, I was irked. I don’t care that some said it was tired. Bah. I loved it. The show was TV crack. So here are my 7 favorite characters in no particular order:
7. Jack McCoy – he kicked legal butt and took no prisoners. I liked that they made him human, too, by having the relationship with Claire and her not surviving.
6. Claire Kincaid – she held her own with all those boys and still took names. I liked her strength and her ability to be vulnerable while still being strong.
5. Anita Van Buren – she ran the precinct, battled cancer, had faults, but knew how to hold he own. I loved her strength. Get the hint? I do like strong women characters. 🙂
4. Ed Green – he could be street, smart, funny and bounced off Lennie so well. I liked the combo of Lennie and Ed.
3. Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers – the medical examiner with the mostest. I loved how she could be so deadpan…pardon the pun. She rocked.
2. Mike Logan – he had some great lines and was fallible. Plus he had great hair. I loved the pairing of Mike and Lennie. They’re some of my all-time favorite episodes.
1. Lennie Briscoe – the guy had the quips. He was tough, hard, soft, and had a heart of gold, despite being able to break your kneecaps.
What about you? Did you have a favorite I didn’t mention? Probably did. Why? There were a lot of characters. Let me know.

I’ve never seen Law & Order. What did you like most about it? The characters from it sure sound interesting.
Thanks for stopping by my post earlier today! http://lydiaschoch.com/saturday-seven-books-with-green-covers/
It’s a legal thriller kind of show. Always opens with a crime of some sort, the cops get involved, the investigate, the district attorney always beings charges, there’s a court case and an outcome. It’s crack-like because you have to know how it’ll end. It’s interesting and exciting. Lots of times I’ve been irritated by the way the case works out. I liked most how they tackled hard issues that actually happen and the ripped from the headlines stories.
Ducking head. I’ve never watched the show, although I DO know that distinctive music/beat that is part of it. I’m not a big TV watcher (it takes away from my reading time, lol) and usually only watch those shows my hubby coaxes me to view with him…so right now we are slowly catching up on “Homeland”.

Why do you have to duck your head? I won’t bite. You’re reading. Shrugs. You don’t have to watch tv. I”m just that person who needs LOTS of noise while I work. Lol. I’ve never seen Homeland and have no desire to watch it. Then again, I’ve never seen Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Blue Bloods or NCIS. 🙂
I’ve never watched the show either! I have watched CSI and Bones, but for some reason, Law and Order never appealed. I may have to change my mind.
It’s one of those shows either you like it a lot, or you don’t. I never got into Bones. Give it a shot. You might like it.
