  • Jeers: Lara Flynn Boyle Overheats Law & Order | Cheers & Jeers | 3/13/2008
    Jeers to Lara Flynn Boyle for her ludicrous performance on Law & Order. Virtually unrecognizable from her days on another legal drama, The Practice, the puffed-up actress so overplayed the role of unscrupulous reporter Dawn Talley — who slept with not one but two murder suspects — she made Dirt's Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) look like Jim Lehrer. And we were supposed to believe that hard-charging ADA Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) was temporarily hoodwinked by this "lying slut" (as Alana De La Garza's ADA Connie Rubirosa called her)? That's out of Order!• For more Cheers & Jeers (and more "slut" name-calling!), check out the new vodcast.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

  • I'm baffled. Why would a ... | Matt Roush | 7/20/2007
    Question: I'm baffled. Why would a seasoned actor like Sam Waterston essentially accept a demotion to be the DA on Law & Order? It makes no sense for a veteran actor like Waterston to be reduced to a minimal role. The DA, even when the excellent Steven Hill was on the show, usually has only a few scenes, if that, discussing the case and advising on strategy or when to cut a deal. As DA, Waterston won't have his usual scenes bickering with defense lawyers, grilling hostile witnesses and suspects, and making courtroom appearances to argue arcane points of law, much less trial scenes with juicy cross-examinations. It strikes me as absurd for Waterston to agree to be relegated to a walk-on role. It would be like making Dennis Franz lieutenant prior to the end of NYPD Blue. Franz would never have agreed to such a move. So why did Waterston? Answer: You're assuming he had a choice. The show is going through what Dick Wolf calls "one of its major renovations of the past 10 years." Earlier this ... read more

    NBC and Law & Order executive producer Dick Wolf announced on Tuesday that British thesp Linus Roache (Kidnapped, Thomas Wayne in Batman Begins) will join the long-running procedural this season in the capacity of executive assistant district attorney — the office formerly held by Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy, who is now the full-on DA. "I've known Linus' work for several years. He is an actor who totally gets inside his roles," Wolf says in a statement. "I think he and Sam are going to raise the bar and add intellect and passion in the back half of the show." RELATED: Law & Order pulls reruns featuring Fred Thompson. read more
