Must admit I cannot shows such as NCIS (all variants), CSI (all variants) Law & Order (all variants)

Hello bwfc71, nice to meet you.

But I'm afraid I can't have you slagging off my favourite programme of all time - Law & Order is brilliant. Great actors, great stories and most importantly, great characters.

Don't get me wrong the originals of each of those Franchises are/were great, but it is lazy TV by the makers and schedulers when they start creating spin-off after spin-off after spin-off - just seems to be no originality by the major US Networks nowadays. Plus by the time L&O was axed last year they did look as though they were repeating storylines - which they are now doing on L&O:UK (especially when you see in the credits - adapted from...)

CSI:NY is something i will watch if I'm bored as F and there's nothing on.

it really is nonsense though.

The original Law & Order was brilliant from the first to the last series, SUV was good for the first 6 or so seasons but went really silly and over the top from then on. I thought Law & Order: LA was outstanding, amazing they cancelled it after one season.

I like the UK version, Bradley Walsh is great, but it's a bit of a con basing them on the American episodes, that really is lazy TV!
