**Law & Order Corner**

[Alexander]

My wife and I have determined that the reason all incarnations of L&O (although I still haven't gotten into CI) are so addictive is that sound...the "doink-doink." You can turn on an episode of L&O and escape with your sanity intact...if you turn it off before the first "doink-doink." Once you've heard the sound, you're hooked...another whole hour down the tubes...

Looks like they may be getting rid of Detective Green (Jesse Martin)! He got shot on the last episode. I didn't see the crossover with Trial by Jury, but if one of the detectives gets shot on L&O, his character is either dead or headed for a desk job. That's two new dectectives in less than a year---woah. I wish they would get Robert Forster as the replacement, but they won't. They like to pair an older cop with a younger one. Maybe they should get a woman cop, just for a change. Or an Asian cop. It would be about time.

He's actually only taking time off to shoot the film version of "Rent" in which he first starred on Broadway. He'll be back next season.

In the meantime, Chris (Tony's nephew) from the Soprano's will be filling in for five episodes.
