The NY Times examines the Jerry Orbach effect on the latest Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Gothamist got misty when we read that Jerry was weaker when filming, and that there would be a mention of Detective Lenny Briscoe's death in the fifth episode. However, we've been a little unnerved by the NBC promos for L&O: TBJ, by saying, "Jerry Orbach's final performance" or whatever, because while they are his final performances, the promo seemed...crass. Of course, Gothamist would rather NBC devote an hour as a tribute to Jerry Orbach, so we're biased.
The great When is Law & Order On website has been getting nice press; if only Gothamist could be implanted with this site. And, hey, on tonight's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, ADA Alexandra Cabot (Stephanie March, aka Mrs. Bobby Flay) returns! Gothamist on Jerry Orbach.

It will be very sad to see Jerry one last time... though he lives on in L&O reruns (and Dirty Dancing).
And as for Ms. Bobby Flay. Ugh. They should have killed off her character when they had the chance.
I don't think it's that crass at all. It's a show he starred on, and he's been in the business for years. Wherever his soul might be right now, I'm sure he would appreciatre all of the love and respect people have given him and his character over the years.
What is crass are those--mortgage? loans? insurance?--commericials that are running on places like NY1 that have the Jerry Orbach voice-over on them. They clearly starred Jerry back when he was alive. And now tha he's dead, they visually removed/reeditted the piece. But that doesn't make the voiceover any better.
I HAD to go out for drinks with friends last night and didn't get a chance to TiVo SVU. Could someone tell what Mrs. Bobby Flay was doing last night and did Ice-T do away with the red haired chick who is now blond? Also, I miss Jerry very much, and no matter how well dressed that new guy is, he could never give a one-liner, like Brisco could.
Cabot came out of Witness Protection to testify against the guy who shot her (they didn't really kill her off when she left the show, I guess) and then went back into Witness Protection. That's pretty much it.
