From its gritty documentary look to its signature note-knocking "tching-tching" that signals scene changes, Law & Order was a groundbreaking cop show when it debuted in 1990. It has since earned Emmys for Best Dramatic Series and spun off satellite franchises, and reruns of the original series are as omnipresent in syndication as those of I Love Lucy. Devoted fans and those who came late to the series can catch it from the beginning with this six-disc set that contains all 22 episodes from the inaugural season.
Law & Order is television's most resilient series. It has survived wholesale changes to its ensemble. One of the secrets of the show's durability: its compelling structure. The first half of each hour-long episode is classic police procedural in which "Law," personified in the first season by partners Greevey (George Dzundza--and be sure to catch the interview segment with series creator Dick Wolfe to learn how to pronounce his name) and Mike Logan (Christopher Noth, the future "Mr. Big" on Sex and the City) investigate a crime and make an arrest. The second half chronicles the ensuing trial, as prosecuted by assistant district attorneys Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty) and Paul Robinette (Richard Brooks) under the supervision of Steven Hill's Adam Schiff (more feisty and animated here than in later seasons).
Law & Order is also distinguished by its superb writing. Several episodes take their inspiration from the headlines, including "By Hooker, By Crook" about a socialite-run call-girl ring, and "Indifference," which recalls the tragic Lisa Steinberg child abuse case. Others deal with such hot-button issues as abortion ("Life Choice") and AIDS ("The Reaper's Helper"). Another plus is the talent pool of character actors who lend their verisimilitude. Guest stars include Samuel L. Jackson and Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Violence of Summer"), The West Wing's John Spencer ("Prescription for Death"), Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon ("Subterranean Homeboy Blues"), and The Sopranos' Dominic Chianese ("Sonata for Stolen Organ"). --Donald Liebenson

Now in its 18th season, LAW & ORDER remains one of the premier dramatic programs in television history. It has even spawned multiple spin-off series.
Each episode, shot on location in New York, deals with a criminal case from the discovery of the crime itself through its investigation by the police to its final outcome in the courtroom. The ... Read More

- From a Law and Order FanaticIt was great watching all those Law and Order episodes that I had never seen. Watching with no commercials--wow. These early episodes are a must see for all Law and Order fans.
Rating:
- Long Live Law & OrderThere had never been a series like this one. It's long lasting life gives a hint to that.
You are dealing with a TV drama that does not slip into a soap opera genre. We know little of the private lives of the police officers or the court officers. But we do know just enough to make them real people.
The stories are based on the cases presented before them. The twists and turns of finding the truth and how difficult it really is.
The Law portion deals with the investigation, the trail ... Read More

- Great show!Law & Order - The First Year
Very fun to watch, especially those interested in law/police work.
Lots of things that bring you back to the early 90's, lol.
Just an enjoyable show... which is based on many true stories.

- WowI have Season 1-4, those are my favorite ones. Contrary to the most other opinions, I liked the "original cast" including season 4 the best. But however I honestly enjoy the show - cops - catch - d.a. - prosecute - and the way it interacts with each other.
