Law & Order DVD - Barnes & Noble Exclusiveby Anonymous

Reader Rating:

November 11, 2003: The eight episodes are well-selected and provide a good overview of some of the more dramatic story-lines and also a couple of the celebrity guest stars who have appeared on Law & Order. Those who prefer SVU and Criminal Intent must look elsewhere, because the DVD disc only includes episodes from the original Law & Order show. Jill Hennesy fans will have to wait, because none of her episodes as assistant D.A. are included on the disc. Unfortunately, the last two episodes on Disc One do not play through. Because I had seen these episodes when originally aired, I was able to follow the plot. Other viewers may not be able to. The problem is apparently some type of manufacturing error with the DVD. I have tried replacement discs, but the same problem always occurs beginning with the third episode, 'Mad Dog.' I have found that skipping the first two chapters of each of the episodes sometimes allows the disc to play straight through the rest of the show with no interruptions. The whole issue of defective DVDs is frustrating, as it is generally difficult to return opened DVDs to the store.
