re: Your Law and Order Dream Team?

Story time. My dad HATED Law and Order. I think he rated it on par with a steaming pile of dog shite he stepped in one time. Unfortunately for him, mom and kids loved it. So, he was relegated to pretending not to vomit for hours on end while we marathoned, fixing shite constantly that wasn't even broken while the show was on, and reading more books than a man should ever be forced to read while it was airing. At one point, we thought he had successfully found a way to go into a complete mental block when we switched it over to TNT.

If there was one thing my dad hated more than the show itself, it was Jack McCoy. I think if he ever met Sam Waterston in real life, he would have murdered that "smug sumbitch."

Anyway, my dad smiled a little the day he found out that Jack McCoy was no longer head ADA. Then I think he cried when he found out he was going to be DA. But, I'll never forget the day that Mike Cutter lost a big case on Law & Order. As usual, we thought that dad had gone to his happy place and was totally ignorant as to what was happening on TV. Out of nowhere, when the not guilty verdict came back, we all heard dad mutter, "frick. That sumbitch Jack Mccoy would have never lost that case." He never acknowledged the show again.

I don't know why I typed all this out, but I'm hitting submit now anyway.

TL; DR: Dad hates Law & Order. He really hates Jack McCoy. Turns out, Jack McCoy is a winning sumbitch.
