Political Science Trivia Question 4

In what TV show is this phrase spoken in the beginning of every episode:

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate the crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories." ?

The answer is Law & Order!

Law & Order premiered on September 13, 1990, and is currently in its twentieth season, which began airing on September 25, 2009. Law & Order is currently the longest running crime drama on American prime time television and is tied for longest running drama with Gunsmoke. It was renewed for a 21st season and will become the longest running American prime time television scripted drama. Together, the original series, its various spin-offs (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Trial by Jury), the TV movie and crossover episodes from other shows constitute almost 900 hours of programming. So far 881 episodes of the Law & Order Franchise have aired. Wow.

Stay curious,
