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?

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.

Who's replacing Dennis Farina ... | Matt Roush | 6/30/2006
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. The NBC warhorse moves to Fridays at 10 pm/ET in the fall and will add two new cast members, including — for the first time — a female street detective. After owning Wednesdays at 10 for more than a decade, L&O finally met its match the past two seasons against CSI: NY. Now NBC is going to see if the show will fare any better against another CBS hit, Numbers, on a night with lower expectations. Notoriously brusque creator and executive producer read more
