Law and Order: SDMB

"In the Straight Dope Justice System, the posters are served by  
two separate, yet equally important groups: the moderators who investigate  
inappropriate posts, and the administrators who ban the offenders.

These are their stories…"

(doink doink!)

Greene: Something musta happened when the thread got moved from MPSIMS  
to Great Debates. Look at this mess: innuendo, invective, no cites for  
a damn thing said. Wild, outlandish assertions without any kind of reference  
to reality!

Briscoe: Looks like a post by Aldebaran and Milum’s love child!

I think I read at Fametracker a year or two ago about a suggested “Law & Order: Special Vampire Unit”, as a replacement for when Buffy ended.

This fall, on NBC…some crimes are and affront to decency, to morality, to humanity. But coming in September, _Queer Eye’s_ Carson Kressley wil deal with crimes…against taste.

Carson: Freeze! You’re under arrest for wearing a peacoat without a skullcap! Up against the wall and spread 'em! \<wink to the camera\>

With Ted Allen as his no-nonsense boss, watch the gritty reality of bad fashion making victims of us all!

Ted: Let it go man, we couldn’t get him this time!

Carson: And let him roam the streets…in a denim leisure suit? The thought makes me sick! \<throws a coffee mug and a hissy fit\>  
_Law & Order: Fashion Police_ coming this fall…only NBC!

Come on.

You could probably edit an episode of _Barney Miller,_ and as long as you put the off-key “Dunt Dunnnn” and some cheesy white text at the bottom, it would be indistinguishable.

_Law & Order: AARP_  
If one person could do it alone…

_Law & Order: While you were out_  
Cops convince loved ones to leave the house for a couple of days while they perform raids. I’d love to see the “reveals” for this show 🙂

_Law & Order: DCU_  
Dry Cleaning Unit - focuses on the oft-overlooked drama of the dry cleaners who work non-stop to make sure cops uniforms are crisp and heavily starched.

Now that they have so many L&O spinoffs, and especially if they add the above ones, they’ll be ready for…

**LAW AND ORDER: _Internal Affairs_**  
Watch the main characters as they investigate the shenanigans from all of the other shows.

And how about…  
**LAW AND ORDER: _Reality TV Squad_**  
“We’re booking you on a 3-5-7. Running another reality TV show without any frelling originality!”

Watch the two combine to bust the actors on:  
**LAW AND ORDER: _COPS_**  
Enough said. (Actually, too much said.)

Oh, and to **Wumpus** – Be careful what you wish for. I seem to recall that either L&O is spinning off a CSI type of show, or CSI is spinning off one set in New York. I can’t remember which.

The latter. They just signed Melina Kmumblemumble of “Providence” as one of the leads.

Has anyone mentioned _Law & Order: SUV_? That’s what I call _SVU_ half the time. 🙂

I’m sure a lot of you have now heard, Jerry Orbach is leaving _Law & Order_ (the original) after 12 seasons. However, he may be moving to another _L&O_ series. (Get the poor man off his feet. He deserves a desk job and a nice raise.) That said, maybe the next series will simply be…

_Law & Order: Briscoe_
