    “Law & Order” debuts

    On September 13, 1990, the drama series "Law & Order"premieres on NBC; it will go on to become one of the longest-running primetime dramas in TV history and spawn several popular spin-offs.

    According to the now-famous "Law & Order"formula, the first half of the hour-long program, which is set in New York City, focuses on the police as they investigate a crime—often inspired by real-life news stories—while the second part of the show centers on the prosecution of those accused of that crime. Each episode opens with a narrator stating: “In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.”

    "Law & Order"‘s cast has changed continually throughout its run. Among the best-known characters are Homicide Detective Lennie Brisco, who was played by Jerry Orbach from 1994 to his death
