  • Officials Lay Down Law on Dennis Farina Gun Incident | Today's News: Our Take | 6/5/2008
    Law & Order alum Dennis Farina has been charged with illegal gun possession at Los Angeles International Airport. Farina was caught with a .22 caliber gun in his carry-on luggage in May, and on Wednesday was charged with three misdemeanor counts that carry a combined max sentence of two and half years in jail and a $3,000 fine. At the time of his arrest, Farina made a public apology and told authorities that he'd forgotten that the gun was in his bags. Whoops! Should the Law come down on Farina? Or should he be spared punishment for an honest mistake? — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to see some L&O, up close. read more
  • I was pleasantly surprised to ... | Matt Roush | 9/29/2006
    Question: I was pleasantly surprised to really enjoy the premiere of the original Law & Order. I liked the new additions to the cast and thought the story was also enjoyable. What are your thoughts on the new additions? Answer: I was kind of "take it or leave it" after the premiere. The new women aren't likely to help or hurt the show measurably.

    Question: Who's replacing Dennis Farina and Annie Parisse on Law & Order? Answer: You'll be seeing lots more women on the set next season. Taking over from Dennis Farina as a lead detective will be Milena Govich, most recently from Dick Wolf's failed Conviction. Taking over the assistant-district-attorney slot will be Alana De La Garza, who last season had the bad luck of being betrothed to CSI: Miami's Horatio Caine for about 10 minutes before she was gunned down. Not that this role traditionally has much job security. ... read more
  • Big Changes Coming to Law & Order | Today's News: Our Take | 6/22/2006
    For its 17th season, the aging legal drama Law & Order will undergo an extreme makeover.

After owning Wednesdays at 10 for more than a decade, L&O finally met its match the past two seasons against CSI: NY.
