Law & Order - The "Designated Driver" Clue

[@DanMan869]

The grandmother was played by Meg Mundy, best known as “Mona Aldrich Croft” on the New York City-based soap, “The Doctors” (1963-1982). L&O always loved using NYC soap actors and actresses-local talent.

[@Subo23]

These early episodes are artifacts...amazing how much the city has changed in 25 years

[@Ratboy2004]

Great point actually. There was a show made in Toronto around the same time called Night Heat. Same thing, recorded history of a great city on the verge of irreversible change...

[@Subo23]

Ratboy2004 Hell yes, Night Heat was a terrific show. Sonny Grosso! Toronto has changed and is changing in a lot of the same ways NYC has. I don’t know, I can’t say whether it’s good or bad, but it does seem that the city is becoming one large shopping mall.

One of my favorite episodes. To me many of the cases covered in Season 1 are still timely today. Love the original Law and Order.

[@clairelally3644]

Most of them are based on true stories: Charles Stuart, Tawana Brawley, etc, etc.

I like the appearance of Captain Macwell, aka Warden Norton at the hospital.

[@giorgiogazzola5972]

In the first season the characters used to yell and argue with each other more often than the following seasons.

@@paulfrantizek102 I remember him on Third Watch. I think the guy playing the doctor used to be on the Nickelodeon show Hey Dude as well.

[@kellyrayburn4093]

I actually believe the kid. It's just too pat. I'm sure the wino saw him there, he did admit he was present. But like Greevy said, 2 armed robberies with knives. Burglaries etc, but nothing with guns. Of course they have to arrest him, but it just doesn't ring true that he was the shooter.
