The formula is always the same.. first 30 minutes detectives.. 35 minutes in they get some evidence that changes the whole focus of the show or the attorney's hit a road block.. YET it's one of the highest rated shows on TV.. it's been on for 10 years!! it's like the Simpson's!! it just won't die!

I watch all three of them, they are great shows.

The original certainly follows that rigid formula. SVU follows the basics. It has the court case, but there's more working with the DA. The verdict is often just a finisher.

Criminal Intent doesn't even have court cases. Working with the DA, but not the final outcome of a verdict. It's all about investigation.

The formula is similar for them all, which you'd expect, it's successful, so if it works why change. But they are all different....you're making stuff up Konarmi. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I have to agree with you, but the show is LAW and ORDER. I mean what do you expect? I love that show I can't get enough of it! [img]graemlins/crooked.gif[/img]
