HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:17 (seventeen years ago)

goole, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:18 (seventeen years ago)

^^^^^^^^^^^this.

How do you NOT include Jerry Orbach?

B.L.A.M., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

DZUNDZA ALL THE WAY

Tracer Hand, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:21 (seventeen years ago)

How do you NOT include Jerry Orbach?

He was never partnered with MY SEXY CELEBRITY GIRLFRIEND

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

Are you serious, Dan? Dude. Brisco OWNS this poll.

B.L.A.M., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:25 (seventeen years ago)

Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) & Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay)

J0rdan S., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

Stabler/Benson in a walk.

Much love to Lennie, though!

Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:28 (seventeen years ago)

dzundza is the indie pick

goole, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:31 (seventeen years ago)

No, the "indie" pick is the female detective on SVU that was replaced by Fin.

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:32 (seventeen years ago)

Have you people no SHAME!?!?!?!?!

The episode where Briscoe and McCoy get hammered at the bar breaks my heart every time I think about it.

B.L.A.M., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

Have you no LIBIDO?!?!?!?!?

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:34 (seventeen years ago)

it's only really briscoe & green seasons they show over here :(

hahahahaha

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:39 (seventeen years ago)

Are you Mariska's son godfather?

meloni no they chose the Pope over me...bad pick, but they get a lifetime of free vatican tours

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:39 (seventeen years ago)

I heart Mariska too, and as is well known she is also deeply in love with me, but any answer other than "Briscoe & Logan" is some bullshit here

J0hn D., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:47 (seventeen years ago)

voted briscoe & green, chris noth is annoying

n/a, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:49 (seventeen years ago)

Noth is annoying without Briscoe but works well with him and the exit-Logan episode is classic

J0hn D., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:52 (seventeen years ago)

Really no doubt about Mariska's hottness, but Briscoe and Green got my vote.

B.L.A.M., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:54 (seventeen years ago)

annabella sciorra left off! not that i would have voted for her...

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:01 (seventeen years ago)

i thought she was great (!!) actually (as well as being hot)

mitya, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:21 (seventeen years ago)

she is gorgeous, but no one can top goran/eames for ci pairs.

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:25 (seventeen years ago)

I almost made a really terrible poll about "best L&O pairs"

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:28 (seventeen years ago)

Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) & Mike Logan (Chris Noth) all the way! You people are all drunk. Only possible other exception is whatshisface & Noth as pictured above - but I love me some Orbach.

Finefinemusic, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:32 (seventeen years ago)

ja briscoe pretty much wins everything.

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:33 (seventeen years ago)

If only Briscoe had been teamed with Benson, it would be wins for everyone.

Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) & Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin)

^ best answer

John Munch (Richard Belzer) & Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T)

^ most entertaining answer

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

I too have tons of love for Orbach but as a pair Stabler and Benson get my vote for best and hottest.

ENBB, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:37 (seventeen years ago)

i would like to start a companion poll: in what role is it weirder seeing christoper meloni not being det. elliot stabler: nude as an inmate in Oz, humping a refrigerator in Wet Hot American Summer or playing the creepy trucker guy in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

...Just sayin'

Finefinemusic, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:42 (seventeen years ago)

Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) & Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto)
haha, had no idea his name was Cyrus Lupo! I call him Detective Billy Chenowith.

El Tomboto, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:24 (seventeen years ago)

^^ yeah i mean if were choosing shows CI is probably my least favorite but goren is such a nutjob that i had to vote for him

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:26 (seventeen years ago)

plus i think i want to do it with eames

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:26 (seventeen years ago)

i remember liking sorvino and logan, too

omar little, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:34 (seventeen years ago)

i got much love for briscoe but i think im going to vote for goren & eames

this! eames is an underrated character, i think.

get bent, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

she gets some good lines! they give her the archetypical 'lenny lines' i think

goole, Monday, 14 July 2008 17:53 (seventeen years ago)

If only Briscoe had been teamed with Benson, it would be wins for everyone.

Actually I can't vote for anything that doesn't have Green in there -- going for the classic heyday of Briscoe / Green.

The "indie" vote would clearly be Noth and his Staten Island partner from the L&O "movie."

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

judith light!

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 21:36 (seventeen years ago)

voted Goren & Eames of course.

Also a big fan of Logan/Wheeler and (while it lasted) Green/Lupo.

Michael F Gill, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:26 (seventeen years ago)

watching goren and eames take down the mob right now

max, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:41 (seventeen years ago)

they take the mob down with such brilliance and make it look so easy

El Tomboto, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:43 (seventeen years ago)

did they get the mob in the interrogation room or did they have to get in the mob's face at the mob's home office

El Tomboto, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:44 (seventeen years ago)

Goren and Eames can take down the entire mob, Logan can semi-accidentally take down the entire mob (in the movie), and yet poor ADA Borgia gets taken out by a simple drug ring and a dicey contract renegotiation

nabisco, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:48 (seventeen years ago)

goren and eames confronted the mob in the mob's basement surrounded by the mob's friends

max, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:08 (seventeen years ago)

i think one of goren's many tics is the fact that he cant solve a case unless he confronts the murderer in front of the murderer's friends and pushes and prods him until he cracks

max, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:09 (seventeen years ago)

A young wife's body is found after what seems to be an erotic asphyxiation accident. Detectives Benson and Stabler follow her link to a male stripper (played by Pete Starrett). He reveals their link was that he was recently gang raped by her and her two female lawyer friends, Amelia Chase (played by Diane Neal) and Pam Adler (played by Paige Turco) after the three women handcuffed him to a bed during a bachelorette party. ADA Cabot follows People v. Liberta (1984) and sues the women for this non statutory female on male rape. The investigation of one of the women, Pam Adler, then reveals the suicide was in fact a murder, as the victim planned to come clean and expose her fellow rapists.

Diane Neal, who played one of the female lawyer friends (Amelia Chase) would later on replace ADA Alexandra Cabot as ADA Casey Novak in Season 5.

omar little, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:19 (seventeen years ago)

shd do a poll of all the l&o actors who were one-shots on the show before becoming regulars

max, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)

what would happen if i voted for belzer & ice

Jordan, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:26 (seventeen years ago)

there is a whole site called 'repeat offenders' but i don't know if they go into regulars.
xpost

tehresa, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:35 (seventeen years ago)

has any other L&O team busted stephen colbert for trying to defraud the memory of some dude who was up for sainthood or whatever the fuck went on in that episode

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:46 (seventeen years ago)

are you saying that because shes a lesbian?

Classic.

Brisco/Green for classic times. And as much as I would like to nail Eames or Benson, I wouldn't admit it publically.

It's weird going back to see that old episode with Diane Neal (also that original L&O with Julianne Nicholson!) but you should see Neal in that awful Dracula straight-to-video movie with Jason Scott Lee... and by "should" I mean "never".

Nhex, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:49 (seventeen years ago)

milena govich played a tattooed bartender sometime before her run

Briscoe/Green v Goren/Eames

PROFACI

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

Benson and Stabler are really annoying.

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:03 (seventeen years ago)

If by "annoying" you mean "awesome", I agree.

HI DERE, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:41 (seventeen years ago)

Benson/Stabler '08

Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

^NO.
I went for Goren and Eames because FRANKLY MOST OF YOUR OTHER CHOICES WERE HIGHLY SUSPECT. Anyways it would have been Briscoe and Green but I'm Goren's wife and I must be loyal to my husband. He's not mental, he's just different.
Benson is not hot anymore. There I said it. But Stabler still is and so is Wheeler.

VeronaInTheClub, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:56 (seventeen years ago)

after careful thought and a night of sleep, this can only be briscoe/green. it's a tough choice but the right choice.

goole, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:57 (seventeen years ago)

stabler & benson bring the (awesome) drama. also, she hot.
but briscoe/ green, that's some mt rushmore shit

will, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 14:04 (seventeen years ago)

Benson and Stabler have been kind of lame the past couple of years, the writing has fallen off dramatically.

Nicole, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

I feel like poor Curtis is getting the shaft here, but even I couldn't bring myself to vote for him.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 16:30 (seventeen years ago)

i always liked curtis

max, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 18:25 (seventeen years ago)

the episode where his wife has MS is on right now

max, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 18:25 (seventeen years ago)

benson and stabler are awesome unintentional lols. their shit is about as dramatic as this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JANGFLIYH0o

omar little, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 18:28 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

i think i actually decided i totally hate benson/stabler as a team and as individual characters but i think that might be because svu has sucked for most of its existence now.

omar little, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:04 (seventeen years ago)

haha, had no idea his name was Cyrus Lupo! I call him Detective Billy Chenowith.

lol, I have no idea why I even opened this thread since I've never seen a single episode of L&O -- I also learned that Chris Noth is known for something besides SATC.

jaymc, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:17 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i think most straight men know chris noth for trading quips with orbach on l&o and most women and gay dudes know him from satc.

omar little, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:24 (seventeen years ago)

probably generalizing a little there though

omar little, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:25 (seventeen years ago)

nah id say thats 100% accurate

max, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:25 (seventeen years ago)

I've seen about as much of SATC as I have of L&O -- maybe I'm just around more people that talk about it.

jaymc, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 23:27 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Thursday, 17 July 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Hm. Jesse Martin's getting screwed by not having a good partner, it appears.

Cerreta over Greevey? Come the fuck on.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 18 July 2008 02:13 (seventeen years ago)

John Munch (Richard Belzer) & Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T) 5

ha

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 18 July 2008 02:14 (seventeen years ago)

I could've predicted a nice distribution for the top 4, but wow, Munch/Tutuola? Curtis?! I guess the remains are just weak...

Nhex, Friday, 18 July 2008 08:33 (seventeen years ago)

Munch and Fin are entertaining for what they are worth. I think they make a good partnership.

VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 18 July 2008 12:38 (seventeen years ago)

Just heard Jeff Goldblum is going to replace Chris Noth next year on CI. Should be interesting.

Michael F Gill, Monday, 21 July 2008 15:14 (seventeen years ago)

I'm not looking forward to it, especially remembering Raines from last year...

Nhex, Monday, 21 July 2008 18:25 (seventeen years ago)

Raines was awful. But I don't watch the Noth episodes of CI anyway.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 July 2008 18:28 (seventeen years ago)

greevey/logan have the best talking-through-the-case-on-the-street scenes. writing must have been better then.
