Most Favorite & Least Favorite of the L&O series - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

EricIdlefan · 10-29-2003, 10:40 PM

I was wondering who is your most favorite and least favorite character of both the Orignal Law & Order, SVU, and/or CI:

L&O: The One & Only!! The Original:
Most: Briscoe(funny and never takes himself too seriously)
Green

Handsome and seemed more sympathetic than the other two detectives Curtis & Logan)
Lt. Van Buren: (Shows that a person of race and/or gender can be tough but yet sensitive.)
Cragan: (Glad he's back on SVU. Like a father figure to his detectives.)
Stone: (More Human & even though he had his days, he seemed more caring than McCoy)
Kincaid: (Human and sympathetic but also had her days but I forgive her very easily).
Lewin: "Time was short for her but sweet!!

Neutral:
Greevy: (Sympathetic but can act rude at times. Wish that he wasn't killed so soon!!)
Logan: (Don't mean to be mean on Logan's fans but he was too macho and sexist to me even though he had a tender side at times but rarely showed it.)
Curtis: (Handsome and has a soft spot for children but didn't like the way he cheated on his wife but glad they reconciled!!)
Southerlyn: Tough but can be vulnerable and sweet. Jury still out on her!!
Carmichael: (Tough, and can be a cold witch(subsitute it for the letter b) but means well and needs to go to senstivity training. At the US Attorney's Office, she will need a lot of it.)
Scheff: (Grouchy and a Cumelodgen but means well and deep inside his grouchy attitude, he had a soft spot but rarely showed it but means well. He liked Stone because Stone was like a son to him and it probably took him awhile to warm up to McCoy!!)

Least:
McCoy: (Was arrogant and a real jerk. Great EADA but has an attitude problem and somebody you want to give an attitude adjustment. When Lt. Van Buren shot two teen-agers, I was cheering her on to give the arrogant McCoy a fat lip!! Mellowed considerably but I would had beat the s*it out of him until he was eating his meals through a straw. Sorry again if I offend any McCoy fans but I think he needs to go to AA, Anger Management(is it just me or he is mad at the word), & Sensitivity classes)
Ross: (Never liked the witch!! Thought would be sympathetic but found out she was mean, rude, condescending, & thought she was the greatest.)

Law and Order SVU

Most:
Olivia: She's got a kewl way of handling things.
Stabler: So hott, so awesome, wish he woud get together with her ^.
Fin: He's hilarious.

Nuetral:
John: Don't know him well, but what I do know, I like.
Alex: I like her, she's always trying to do the best thing for her people.
Cragan: He's quite the character.

Least:
Novack: Don't like her at all. She took over Alex's job!

SVU

Best Characters

Fin & Munch: That's a great double act right there, like Lenny Brisco with extra irony!

Cragen: I never saw him on the original but I prefer him infinitely to Van Buren or that cardboard cutout on Criminal Intent!

Stabler: Tough and emotional, but always has memorable scenes - too bad he is teamed with frightening hell-witch of a partner...

Worst Characters

Benson: How many episodes feature Benson going off to solve the case in her own time and shooting the suspect before anyone else gets to the scene - I've seen at least two and I know there are more out there, she is a loose cannon and over-emotional about her cases.

That New DA: It was a spectacular twist having the original DA go into witness protection, and while I like the DA's friend Marla Maples - the DA is an annoying snot who can't do ****!

The Psychiatrist: I actually like his character, but he seems to have these supernatural senses about his perpertrators, rather than leading the detectives down a line of enquiry he gives them the lifestory of the killer/rapist, and he always turns out to be accurate.

Regular L&O

Like:

Briscoe
Curtis
Carmicheal (her first name is Abby right?)
McCoy
Van Buren
Southerlyn (I feel kind of bad for her, it seems she is unpopular, and I think it is because she is attractive in such a way that people think she is unintelligent)
Adam
Cragen (better on SVU though)

Dislike:

The new DA (the Texan guy)
Logan's first partner (no clue what his name was)

I like everyone on SVU except for Cassidy, and they got rid of him awful quick, I think overall these shows keep up a great cast

Logan's first partner was Max Grevey (played by George Dzundza). He was good, in fact, all of the regular detectives on the original L&O have been good (except for Benjamin Bratt's Curtis).

Anyway, for my answer:

See above note about the detectives
Stone (ADA)
McCoy (ADA)
Claire Kincaid (ADA)
Abby Carmichael (ADA)
Nora Lewin (DA)

Dislike
Goren (from Criminal Intent)
Curtis (see above note)
Branch (DA)
