I love Law and Order SVU. Olivia Benson is my favorite! I was so upset when she wasnt in many of the last seasons episodes. I can't wait to see her more, she is a great actress!

I like Olivia too, I was mad when she had to go off in the last season to do that undercover stuff...it made me not watch a lot.

I love SVU and the original.
I am not much of a fan of the Criminal Intent series. It is almost like the guy is a walking encyclopedia and knows absolutely everthing about everything. It gets aggravating at times. Especially when they don't explain exactly how they got to where they are and you are left in the dark a bit.

Yeah I understand what you're saying about Criminal Intent, maybe that's what I didn't like at first about it, but now I do like it.

I like all of the Law and Orders but my favorite would have to be SVU. I truely loved the original one, that us what got me hooked, then SVU cam along and I was hooked on that one. I did watch Criminal Intent, but never really got into that one.

I'm the same way, it took me a long time to get into Criminal Intent, but now I love it. The same might happen to you too.

I got into law and order because of my ex-boyfriend. For that reason alone I can't watch regular law and order anymore.
However, I love SVU and Criminal Intent. (Which I watched with him too so I don't know why they don't bother me but L&O does!).
I only like Criminal Intent with Vincent Donofrio though. I don't like when that other guy is on it.

I understand about not being able to watch shows because of past relationships, but I agree that it is kind of weird that you can watch the one and not the other, but at least you get to watch a great show still!

I watch them all, but seasons 1+2 of the original are the best!
Also really enjoy Criminal Intent... I'm actually enjoying that there's 2 sets of detectives.

Most people don't like the first two seasons of law and order the original. I like McCoy better as the DA.

Yeah there's something about SVU that makes us all watch I guess.

I watch all three shows. I didn't watch the original Law & Order until it was on for several years. I love SVU and I love Vincent D'Onofrio on Criminal Intent and am disheartened that he has cut his air time in half. I looked forward to seeing him every week. I think my like for the original dropped a little after Lenny left.
What concerns me is my television listings showed this week when all the season premiers are of all the returning television shows. SVU is September 25th. There is no mention of the other two L&O's

Yeah I haven't heard when or if the original law and order is coming out with a new season, but I do know Criminal Intent is coming out soon on USA. I miss the guy who played Lenny, and for some reason I cannot think of his name at the moment. I was so sad to hear when he passed away.

This is a hard choice. I watch them all every night. Yeah I watch a lot of reruns. So I can't really choose. Well if I had to, I'd say SVU. My cellphone has the law & order theme song on it. People look at me funny, but I don't care.

Hello gradyslady, I like watching all of them, The original Law and Order show and all its other series frnchise's. I like it that this series follows the professional and to a lesser extent the personal lives of several police officers and prosecutors who represent the public interest in the criminal justice system.
I am excited always when I watch the characters frequently encounter dilemmas and frustrations as cases go through the stages of investigation, arrest, negotiation and trial. Sometimes matters in the show are rarely resolved easily, or for the people involved, satisfactorily.
I am glad that they had this show on our local cable channel here in our country. I been only watching the series for a couple of months now and I am really enjoying it.:-)

I'm glad that you get to enjoy the show. it's a great show. I started buying them on dvd not too long ago. I can't wait until I get them all, it's going to be expensive I know...

I love all three law and orders but I will have to say Criminal Intent is my favorite. The only reason is Vincent D'Onofrio does such a great job with his part. It is so much fun to watch his character try and figure out all the details of the case. Every time the show comes on, I am glued to the T.V.

I actually used to hate Criminal Intent because of him, but I grew to love him and now I'm like you I have to watch it.

I watch them all too, but Criminal Intent is what I like most.
I like Detective Goren, I think he is a brilliant investigator, although sometimes he seems to be over-reacting during interrogation, but what the heck, that's his way of nailing the criminals.
