The Early Years (1990-1993) - This is where it all started. It was a boys club. George Dzunda, Michael Moriaty, Chris Noth, Richard Brooks, Dann Florek, and Steven Hill. Dzunda was replaced by Paul Sorvino in Season 2. Jerry Orbach replaced Sorvino in S3.
The Breakout Years (1994-1999) - This is prime L&O. 1994 changed everything. Orbach and Hill stayed. Jill Hennessy and S. Epatha Mekerson were added to the cast. Sam Waterston came in as ADA Jack McCoy. Benjamin Bratt, Carey Lowell, and Angie Harmon joined in on the fun too.
The New Century Years (1999-2004) - Orbach, Mekerson, and Waterston stayed. Jesse L. Martin joined. Diane Weist, Elisabeth Rohm, and Fred Dalton Thompson joined in on the fun.
The Post Orbach Years (2005-2007) - L&O took a massive hit when Orbach left. Denis Farina came in as a replacement. Martin, Waterston, Mekerson, and Thompson were still stable. Rohm left during this time and was replaced by Annie Parisse. There was a season with a female detective, too.
The Last Years (2007-2010) - After the rough post Orbach years, L&O found its footing in the last years. Jeremy Sisto, Anthony Anderson, Linus Roache, and Alana de la Garza worked well with Mekerson and Waterston.

I would say 1990-2004 was the absolute BEST for the original.....
