“Law & Order” Season 18 (2007-08, NBC) – As long as crime exists, there’s no reason for Dick Wolf’s masterpiece to end. This season, three newcomers slid into the lineup as if they had always been there.
Jeremy Sisto plays a cop with a soft side (he adopts a dog – awww) and Anthony Anderson is out to prove himself after coming over from internal affairs. Linus Roache is like a young Jack McCoy, and the real McCoy – Sam Waterston – gets conflicted as the justice-driven boss who must keep one eye on his approval ratings.
