By strange coincidence, Steven Hill was the original Mission: Impossible team leader, Mr. Briggs, but Peter Graves’ Mr. Phelps is better-remembered.
Thank you so much for the great trivia!! Hope you are watching!
These first episodes are priceless 🙏
I had all but forgotten!
William H Macy was also in this episode. So young! I guess we all were. Two more episodes to go!
Erika Jayne from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was just covered up as a dead body!
Nathan Arizona (Trey Wilson,_ was a badass mob attorney too. Sadly he died right before the show got going and couldn't comeback. He woulda been an amazing recurring character.
Just watch this episode tonight. Gritty and realistic with the added feature of the ever handsome bad boy Mikey.
I’m still watching! The first years were the best!
PS… I met Chris Noth in 2000 when he was on Broadway. Very nice, genuine guy. We were at a restaurant owned by his friend called Da Marinos. Great memories
Jealous💀🫤
Lol how many cops from show were on Broadway! I didn’t know abt Chris Noth. Just abt Lennie and Dt Green
One of the few pilots that is super different from the eventual show that I actually really like. In some ways I wish they stayed with what they did here. LOVE that gritty documentary esque look it had going, it felt like they were following the detectives around on a normal case when they happened to find a random city guy get killed and they get stuck into it. That interigation scene and how Logan catches that one dude I just love.
At the DA office it does kinda feel like Robinette and Stone just met and they have a hard time jelling. But their future shows though. Didn't care for Wentworth though, he's kinda blah, def a step up when they cast Schiff.
My favorite pop up was Trey Wilson as that mob attorney, dang he was SO good in that role. Sadly he died right when they show got picked up by NBC and he couldn't come back, he woulda been an amazing recurring attorney or even DA. He woulda been excellent if they couldn't cast the guy they got for Schiff.
As for the pilot it was made for CBS in 1988, but they foolishly passed on it. NBC eventually got it and really liked it but they made some changes and we got what we got. This was aired close to the middle of the year oddly instead of early.
Thanks so much for this!
Enjoy your insights.
Episodes 4,5,6 begin at 01:00 EST …
I’m watching POP channel OG and CI until then.🤭
(I have a Law and Order problem)
The way I’ve seen every ep of season 1 and… didn’t even notice this😂 I wonder why he was no longer DA :/
One thing L&O gonna do is cast a man who used to be suuper famous and handsome, that I don’t even realize til I start googling the cast
If you scroll down a bit, there is a detailed explanation from another fan 👇
Oops thanks! Missed that
NP 😉
RT was hired for Dark Shadows at the same time NBC picked up L & O.
Every time I saw him on Law and Order I always joked that it was actually David Vincent in deep cover to expose the plot of the titular aliens from The Invaders.
