Summary: LOCI Shall Rule The Universe!
Review: A lot of people have been complaining about why would you buy just one episode of any particular show. Well let me tell you why. The interviews on this DVD allow insight into the show and let you better understand issues that come up in virtually every episode. You get to know the actors and their characters on a deceptively personal level. If you are a hard-core fan, then you need this DVD. Stop complaining that it is just one episode, because really, it's a lot more than that. It took me inside "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," and that's one place I've always wanted to go!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An essential purchase for all Vincent D'Onofrio fans
Review: I realize that $20 seems like a lot to spend for a single LOCI episode that you probably already have on tape. But there are two reasons why you should buy this DVD today. First, the interview featurette is a rare opportunity to see D'Onofrio out of character and hear him talking as himself. We also get interesting trivia and fun behind-the-scenes details from Dick Wolf, Rene Balcer, Kathryn Erbe, Courtney Vance, and Jamey Sheridan. Second, the best way to get the LOCI first and second year box sets released fast is to show the depth of the fan base by buying this item. It's a cherry on top bonus to get the original L&O pilot, which is very rarely shown on TV. V-sisters and Gorenistas (and you know who you are), you need this in your collection. Trust me!

Summary: Excellent show but where's the rest of the season???
Review: Law and Order and its subsequent off-shoots are ground-breaking and an example of excellent television programming. I must, however, agree with the other reviews I have read for this title. This is an example of a bad DVD release - Other studios have discovered the success to releasing television shows on DVD - release an entire season in one affordable and complete set -this benefits both the fans and the studios (through increased sales). Why bother to release just one episode (the bonus episode of the pilot of "Law & Order" has already been released in the First Year release)? Law and Order has been on the air for well over ten years now - let's hope that it won't take another ten years for the remaining seasons of Law and Order , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order": Criminal Intent. A disappointing release and a waste of money....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boxed set due in October
Review: Several reviewers have wanted to know why the boxed set was not released.

This one episode DVD was meant as a teaser to wet the appatite for the boxed set due in October.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Now that the first season is out SKIP THIS Rip-Off!
Review: The episode contained here is a very good one. And I can think of nothing bad to say about it. And the documentary is very good as well. But you get the SAME episode and the SAME documentary {no other extra's though} PLUS 22 more episodes with the first season set. If you can not afford the first season set this would be better than nothing. But if you can afford it, avoide this and buy the first season. Had I known the first season DVD's were comming 5 months ago I WOULD HAVE!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: L&O fan from Vancouver, Canada.
Review: This DVD contains 2 sets of interviews totalling approximately 41 minutes. One is with the Criminal Intent cast, Rene Balcer and Dick Wolf. The other set includes the original Law & Order cast, with the exception of Steven Hill. The DVD is well worth the price, just for these interviews alone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Real fans should boycott these piecemeal releases
Review: This is typical of a bad DVD release. It looks like a crude attempt to extract as much revenue as possible from large base of loyal fans. Some reviewers who wax lyrical over the 'special' interview features and "insight into the show" in this single episode DVD either work for the publisher or miss the point that any of these items could have been included in a 'full season' release. This piecemeal approach is frustrating for real fans of the series who, to date, have seen only one complete season released. I for one will protest with my wallet. It stays shut until the complete seasons are released.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WQhere's the Box???
Review: Who would want the first episode but not the entire
season? Other studios have figured out that TV shows
should be released in season box sets. Come on Universal,
get your act together! I would be first in line for season
box sets of any of the Law & Order series, but will not buy
this release. I hope other fans will send Universal Studios
a message buy not buying it and letting them know why.

I copied the other persons review because I agree with it. I bought Law and Order The First Year box set...where's the rest of it?????? I'm not buying just two episodes one of which I already have on DVD!! I love Law and Order but this is just stupid!!
