I don't know if I'm just in withdrawal from the writers' strike, but the new Law and Order is pretty damn good. Usually SVU is the only one that keeps my interest, but the new cast members have really breathed new life into the show. That hot piece Jeremy Sisto (for those of you from my generation, Elton from Clueless) is one of the new detectives, and its nice to see they broke with the formula of always having a detective that's five minutes away from a heart attack or retirement, whichever comes first. The new A.D.A. is also younger and rebellious, having an almost father-son chemistry with Sam Waterston. Waterston, whose character Jack McCoy was promoted to District Attorney, replaced windbag presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Speaking of which, Fred Thompson is only 65?!! I figured him well into his mid-70s.
