Law & Order is an American police procedural and legal drama television series, created by Dick Wolf and part of the Law & Order franchise. It originally aired on NBC and, in syndication, on various cable networks. Law & Order premiered on September 13, 1990, and completed its 20th and final season on May 24, 2010. At the time of its cancellation, Law & Order was the longest-running crime drama on American primetime television. After The Simpsons, both Law & Order and Gunsmoke tied for the second longest-running scripted American primetime series with ongoing characters.
Set and filmed in New York City, the series follows a two-part
approach: The first half hour is the investigation of a crime (usually
murder) and apprehension of a suspect by New York City Police
Department homicide detectives; the second half is the prosecution of
the defendant by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Plots are
often based on real cases that recently made headlines, although the
motivation for the crime and the perpetrator may be different.
