As others have said the show's concept is "ripped from the headlines..." not just "ripped from the headlines that don't offend your particular ethnic or socio-economic group."

"Ripped from the headlines..." is L&O's tag line. I love this show, which I think is very well written. One of the best episodes from last season was with Chevy Chase, who played a Mel Gibson-esque character. I miss Jerry Orbach though. :(

If they had just added a shopping cart subplot... maybe...

Amazing! L&O isn't changing the criminal to white!

edEx is right: L&O is a laugh riot. Almost as funny as a (presumably) fully grown adult using an apostrophe in place of a verb conjugation.

every law/crime show parody's real life... including the famed "24".

Like this is something new. Law and Order always takes their storylines from the news headlines. You guys are just now getting upset about this?

Enough with the Law & Order already...and the Shake Shack...and the graffitti glorification....

That's just tacky. End the show. It jumped the shark years ago. I haven't been watching in years, did they do a show about that girl from Juilliard who got shot on the LES? Seriously, I think it's low, and I've sunk to the depths...

Another example of how Law & Order has sunk to new depths. The Writers' Guild of America should really revoke the credentials of anyone working on those shows due to the lack of originality.
