“I had been on another procedural show, 'Cold Case,' for seven years, and I certainly respected the legacy of 'Law & Order,' even though I had only seen a handful of episodes. Being a dad meant the reality was that I probably knew more about Dora and Diego. But I saw the show with fresh eyes, and I wasn't coming in with a bunch of baggage.” YearsShowsRealityEyeLawOrderCasesSawsColdDadSevenBunchLegacyEpisodesSeven YearsHandfulBaggageBeing A DadCold Case Author:Danny Pino
“The centerpiece of 'Law and Order' is the crime, and it starts with the writing. There's a beginning, a middle and an end. It allows the audience to watch any given episode and can drop right in and not feel lost. I think the stark, raw structure has a lot to do with its longevity.” ThinkingFeelsWritingEndsLawOrderLostGivenWatchesAudienceMiddleCrimeStructureEpisodesLongevityStarksLaw And OrderCenterpieces Author:Danny Pino

“You can watch an episode of Friends or an episode of Law & Order and just drop in, but you're not going to in the middle of Season 4, Episode 5 of Lost. It's like picking up a Harry Potter book and flipping to a chapter. You have to read it from beginning to end.” BookEndsLawOrderLostWatchesMiddleSeasonsChaptersEpisodesHarry PotterPotters Author:Damon Lindelof
