5 out of 5 stars Best TV Show on TV    January 9, 2009
MARY MC CARTHY (IRELAND)
As always Law & Order is complelling viewing. It gives a great insight in to the follow up of crimes. In particular in gives an insight into the DA's office and we learn that law does not always equal justice. Excellent acting from Sam Waterston. Roll on the next seires.


5 out of 5 stars All the best stories in this season!    January 6, 2009
P. Soderberg (Southwest USA)
Although I love all the Law and Order seasons, especially after McCoy is Assistant DA, I think this is the season that has the best of the episodes; the ones that I recall as being so good when first televised. My favorites are "Girlfriends" (this daughter one could do without!), "Trophy" (puts McCoy up on ethical charges when a former girlfriend/ADA did no-no's on his behalf and was going to let him take the fall), "Humiliation" (YOU CAN'T KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!), and "Encore" (where a murderer who got off in an earlier episode commits another muder and is finally caught).
Every episode with Lenny Briscoe is memorable and the show hasn't been the same since he passed but I think Law and Order: The Sixth Year is probably the best of the best. I highly recommend!!


4 out of 5 stars Brillliant series    January 6, 2009
Ingemar Goeransson (Linghem, Sweden)
Law & order is US longest ongoing crime-series. it's been there for so long time that it has become an institution. Here in Sweden we didn't get until the cable-TV had it's breakthrough in the 90's. And since then I have been fascinated by this great series.
The sixth year is one of the best vintages in my opinion. Jerry Orbach is the center of the series as the wise-cracking NY-copper Briscoe and his partner Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt). The DA-office McCoy and the cool Jill Hennessy as ADA Kincaid makes this sixth year really tick,
For a non-american it is very interseting to see how the juricidal system works in the uS.
greaat acting, good stories and av very great vintage of Law & Order


5 out of 5 stars The original is the best    December 8, 2008

We love Law and Order. We don't care for the spin-offs but are true blue to the original. We hate that so many cast members have come and gone. We miss Jerry very much -may he rest in peace. The characters of Abby, Serena were the best females on the series. We miss Benjamin Brat and Jesse Green and they can never be replaced. Haven't cared at all for the other detectives. We're glad that "Arthur" is gone. We always believed that Jack McCoy should be the DA but he really needs to be in the court room. With the detectives they have now, less of Jack and the ADA's we may not be such huge fans now. That's why we love these series. We just wish they would put more of them on disc. We would buy them!


5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Law & Order Seasons !    November 10, 2008

It seems to take NBCUniversal quite a while to distribute the "good stuff" and the season six DVD is just that ... good stuff!

This was an action packed season coming off the heels of the best season ever for Law & Order. We are introduced to the "let's do it by the books and utitilize some technology while we are at" Rey Curtis played by Benjamin Bratt. His character is completely different from our beloved "Mikey" played so effectively by Chris Noth. The worst thing about season six is the departure of Jill Hennessy's character, ADA Claire Kincaid. I still skip the ending of her last Law & Order episode, After Shock. It is by far the worst ending Dick Wolf sanctioned for this show. He never should have killed off Claire. Of course, if he wants to get creative, I would love for Claire to return during this season from the Witness Protection Program. Jill are you busy (smile)? Jill has been the best female ADA on the series and her chemistry with Sam Waterson hits full stride during season six. They both rock!!

Bottom line: Grab this DVD as soon as it hits the market. You will not be disappointed. If you are a Law & Order junkie like me, you're just glad that NBCU finally has it ready. I just wish they would hurry and get all the seasons ready for distribution. Why the wait????

Peace
