| Entertainment combined with a little taste of ethics, politics, and general thought about life. Some of the episodes hit the nail on the head in examining social issues while others may not quite be right but at least make you start thinking about the issues. |

| The discs that did work were amazing! However, the episodes are played on the front and back of the discs and approximately 3 sides of DVDs were duds. Mass production has its downfalls! |

| "Last of the "Boys Club" years, the first of the Lenny Briscoe years" | 2006-12-17 |

The third season of Law and Order is the final season of what has been called "The Boys Club" version of the show in which all six leading characters are men. Of course, the highlight of the season is when Jerry Orbach takes on the role of Detective Lenny Briscoe after Phil Ceretta (Paul Sorvino) is badly wounded in episode eight. The real reason for Sorvino's departure was that he believed the exposure to the cold New York City winters while shooting on location was damaging his singing voice, and so he chose to be written out of the script. Orbach would come to define the role of older cop during his twelve year tenure, and when he left in 2004 he was irreplaceable. In my opinion, his departure marked a downward spiral for the show from which it has not been able to recover. Who could replace Briscoe who, despite his tragic past of alcoholism, failed marriages, and estranged daughters, met life with a sense of humor as signified in his trademark one-liners and wisecracks?
Among the stand-out episodes is "Helpless" in which Elizabeth Olivet takes a rare lead in the story. When she suspects a gynecologist of rape, she poses as a patient to investigate but winds up being attacked instead. She presses charges, but it makes matters difficult for Stone when he learns she tape-recorded the crime. In the end, Stone allows the doctor's giant ego and inability to stay away from the TV cameras declaring his innocence to hang him. The news broadcast of the doctor's arrogant press conference causes dozens of women who have been victimized by the doctor to call the D.A. and come forward with their own accusations. There is a continuation of this story in "Point of View" in which a woman is on trial for killing a man she claims raped her. Olivet interviews the woman and believes her, so she is called by the defense to testify on her behalf. Stone, therefore, must bring up Olivet's recent rape when he cross-examines her in order to discredit her testimony, insinuating that as a rape victim she would tend to believe and sympathize with any woman who claimed she had been raped herself. In the end, it turns out the woman was just carrying out a paid hit - there was no rape. Thus, Stone and Olivet ultimately make peace, when Olivet tells Stone "Sometimes you have an awful way of being right."
"Point of View" is also the episode that marks the first appearance of Lenny Briscoe. It's rough going between Logan and Briscoe at first. Briscoe comments on Logan's jinx: his previous two partners (Greevey and Cerreta) were shot. Down at the precinct, Logan gets mad at Briscoe for using Cerreta's desk. Meanwhile, Briscoe casually throws around a few ethnic slurs and says that Irish people often kill for money (Logan is Irish). Logan asks Cragen when Cerreta is going to return, but of course, that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
One of the first Law and Order episodes involving computer crime is "Virus" in which two patients die and several become critically ill after being administered incorrect dosages of insulin at a clinic that specializes in diabetes. A discussion with a technician leads to evidence that a computer virus has infected the hospital's computer network, and the virus was uploaded via a person dialing in to to the network. A suspect and a motive are uncovered for the crime: the suspect's paranoid dad thinks he was blinded by the clinic, so they figure his son wanted revenge. Stone takes this to the judge, but no dice. So Stone decides to go after the father for conspiracy, hoping he can prove the father had knowledge of his son's intentions, and that, as Schiff says, the son will "get a case of the guilts" and confess, which he does. This might be the earliest incident of technophobia in Law & Order history, and it is an annoying recurrent theme during the first five years of the show. Not until a more techno-savvy Curtis joins the force in 1995 does Law and Order ever talk about any of the good things that computers can do. Castwise, the episode is notable because Leslie Hendrix makes an early appearance as the medical examiner Rodgers.
One thing that was troublesome was the unexplained departure of ADA Robinette and Captain Cregan at the end of this season. All the other members of the cast got at least some explanation of their exits, however abbreviated. |
