Law and Order DVD

Thanks to my wife, I have become a Law and Order addict. This DVD set contains the 22 episodes of the first season of Law and Order that has become an institution. A rather simple formula for each hour episode: the first half of the story shows the police action
Law and Order], and the second segment of Law and Order covers the court trial [Order, in the court!]. The first season's cast is wonderful, but the fact that the show is still alive and strong, with a totally different cast, proves the power of the formula.There is much to be said for watching Law and Order without commercials; you can better appreciate the tight story lines and the wonderful writing, without a bunch of annoying
commercials popping up every few minutes.Everything works wonderfully on Law and Order-- the great music by Mike Post, the opening narration, the formula of seeing the crime before the opening credits. The joys and challenges of life as a NY cop and life in the DA's office are artfully portrayed (and interestingly, we learn almost nothing about the personal lives of the characters). Note that there is very little on-screen violence here, even though violence is a key driver in many episodes. You will notice the absence of violence when you observe, in one episode of Law and Order, a storekeeper being beaten up--it is quite a shock, and makes you realize that the violence is usually just suggested (or it happens before the viewer is brought into the scene).Law and Order has given birth to several spin-offs, and it continues to dominate in its thirteenth season. I strongly recommend Law and Order,
