“The centerpiece of 'Law and Order' is the crime, and it starts with the writing. There's a beginning, a middle and an end.

I think the stark, raw structure has a lot to do with its longevity.” ThinkingFeelsWritingEndsLawOrderLostGivenWatchesAudienceMiddleCrimeStructureEpisodesLongevityStarksLaw And OrderCenterpieces Author:Danny Pino
