* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: When it premiered in 1990 critics thought the show looked too stagy and felt too slow, while the format recalled ''Arrest & Trial'', a {{short runner|s}} from the 1960s. Creator/RoyThinnes, the actor originally meant to play the DA, had bailed between the original pilot (shot in 1988) and Season 1. In its Fall Preview issue, ''TV Guide'' predicted that L&O would quickly be trounced in the ratings by the zippier crime series ''Series/PSILuvU''. Needless to say, that didn't happen.

** Michelle Tractenberg's first role was as an abused child on the series. She and her mother took the subway home afterwards and her makeup was so realistic that other passengers called the police, thinking she was an actual abused child.
