Since its premiere in 1990, "Law & Order" has become the gold standard of police procedurals. It was by no means the first police procedural, but it is perhaps the most recognizable. True to its genre, each episode of this series features a crime that must be solved by detectives and prosecuted by the District Attorney's office. Although some storylines are original ideas, many take inspiration from high-profile cases, larger-than-life criminals, and current events within the U.S. justice system.
After three decades and counting, fans can enjoy over 400 episodes and 22 seasons of their favorite procedural. It's a massive chunk of television to sift through, but some parts of the series are more worthwhile than others. From unbearable characters to stale plots, the worst seasons of "Law & Order" are full of frustrating departures from the series' tried-and-true formula. However, the best seasons offer viewers a glimpse at just how great procedural television can be,...

It’s snowing in East Rutherford, New Jersey — perfect weather for a Green Bay Packers at New York Giants NFL game. Unfortunately, Fox Sports’ fancy technology is getting in the way, some Twitter users are complaining.
In an understandable attempt to be helpful to TV viewers, Fox is superimposing all of the lines (including the hash marks) and yardage numbers on the MetLife Stadium turf. But that simulated overlay hasn’t jived particularly well with the very real players — especially the white parts of their uniforms.
While Sunday marked the first snowfall of the year in New Jersey and was among the first nationally televised games of the 2019 National Football League season to contend with the white stuff, Fox has actually been doing the same thing for a couple of years now. The faux lines and sidelines are a similar technology to the commonly appreciated yellow first-down line. (Which turns red for fourth down plays.

Tony Soprano’s protege and nephew, Christopher Moltisanti, ended up suffocated to death. Detective Nick Falco was once framed for murder. Both characters were brought to life by actor Michael Imperioli, the former on HBO’s The Sopranos and the later on NBC’s Law & Order. What’s next for Imperioli? I see some Californication in his future.
Showtime‘s comedy is prepping for season 7 and has tapped Imperioli for what the Deadline exclusive calls a major recurring role.
His new character is Rick Rath, “a successful old-school television producer” who will be doing some business with David Duchovny’s Hank.
Californication centers on Hank, a quite troubled novelist who is trying to be a parent to his college-aged daughter Becca, while is still in love with her mother and his muse, Karen. So far, through the course of the series, Hank has tried his hand in film, music, and books.

As most of you probably know, Detroit 1-8-7's Michael Imperioli didn't always play a cop. In fact, he's known for his brilliant work as Tony Soprano's charming nephew and protegee, Christopher Moltisanti, on The Sopranos. But his days as a faux mafioso are long-gone; he played Detective Ray Carling on ABC's short-lived time-travel cop show Life on Mars and Detective Nick Falco on More >>...
