公园与游憩第五季

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.

　　从这一季开始更换了片尾曲，体现出超人的进一步成长，要处理更困难的局面、对付更黑暗的敌人。

　　在大家纷纷质疑，将这位充满大不列颠绅士之味，疯狂又前卫的侦探搬到美国是不是合理时，CBS却宣布，已经与英国著名演员约翰·李·米勒(Jonny Lee Miller)签约，这位曾经出演了《神奇律师》(Eli Stone)，并客串了Showtime热门剧集《嗜血法医》(Dexter)的英国男演员，将在《Elementary》中饰演居住在纽约城中大侦探福尔摩斯。鉴于这部剧将来自CBS，那么它的风格也许无法像盖·里奇的电影版和BBC三集片一样偏幽默，沉重的故事是可以预见的。尽管如此，CBS在这样两个“前辈”的重压下，依旧敢预定导航集，可见其十足信心，很有可能这部剧将会成为明年的大热。而巧合的是，约翰·李·米勒和电影版及BBC版的演员们都有不小的交集：他和电影版的“华生医生”裘德·洛是同学，两人一同创办了Natral Nylon制片公司，还是公认的BFF。而米勒在去年，还曾经和BBC版的“夏洛克”本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇一同出演了英国著名导演丹尼·鲍尔的话剧《弗兰肯斯坦》(Frankenstein)

　　他们是等待法庭判决的被告，这是他们的故事。同性恋异装癖的特雷西（Tracie）遭受着无数白眼和嘲讽，当他以为自己最终找到真爱时，却没有想到男友杀死妻子后骗他协助沉尸，特雷西也因此被怀疑参与了谋杀；单身母亲莫（Mo）因不肯向黑帮屈服，结果她的儿子遭黑帮威胁杀了好友独子，为了保护儿子，她忍受着良心谴责试图全家搬离， 但最终难逃法网；17岁的斯蒂芬（Stephen）正经历丧母之痛，他的父亲已经与曾照料母亲的护士同居，在他眼中恶毒的后妈想尽办法要除掉自己和弟弟，于是他将利刃捅向了对方身体；斯蒂芬在狱中自杀，作为看护的蒂娜（Tina）原本想帮同事隐瞒，但她最终还是揭露了真相，而为了避免斯蒂芬的悲剧重演，蒂娜私自放走了转到自己监狱的杰克（Jake），她也因为协助犯人逃跑而成为被告。

　　纽约警察和检察官的故事，跨越15个春秋，1990年首播，至今仍受到亿万观众瞩目的长剧。
　　law & order第55届艾美奖最大的遗憾，已连续11年入围剧情类最佳电视剧奖提名的这部热门电视剧，这次却意外地未被提名，粉碎了它原本想要缔造的12次提名新高。
　　本片融警匪与法庭于一体的电视剧，片中讲述的犯罪基本原于真实生活，往往是近期报纸上的头条新闻。节目分为两部分，上半部分介绍警察研究现场，征询证人，提审嫌疑犯等一系列的侦破活动，后半部分详尽记录了案件侦破的后期工作，案件转交到检查官手里，检查官衡量案情，起诉，直到庭审，节奏紧凑，扣人心弦。由于最终坏人不一定被绳之于法，所以观众看的时候往往暗自捏一把汗。
　　这个剧集除了已经播出的15季之外，还包括3个特别的系列，一个是
　　Special Victims Unit 系列（6季），一个是Criminal Intent 系列（4季），和Trial By Jury
　　系列。可见其火爆程度。堪称NBC历史上，乃至美国影史上最宏伟的剧集。
　　"In the criminal justice mingtian6.com system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are there stories. "
　　这是Law & Order十四年如一日，也是我百听不厌的开场白，是以Law & Order franchise(包括spin-off的SVU)都兼有探员的办案过程跟检察官在法庭上的滔滔雄辩，这二者相互分庭抗礼成为Law & Order奠定其cop drama之教父地位的独特魅力，但是近来每回看Law & Order，都彷彿只是在等待后半小时的法庭戏上，也不是说前面的办案就不精采，但是总要在进入起诉过程中才显出本剧的成熟、世故，细腻精妙处的炉火纯青；一男一女老少两位检察官的不同考量而激盪出的互动、辩证，起诉的战略方针往往不只是黑白分明的司法正义考量，而牵扯到背后司法制度及其偏狭漏洞、细微的政治空气，Law & Order更不只是关在摄影棚里编造天马行空的离奇案件，它每回总是不犹疑地定睛盯上社会中的敏感命题。

　　警局刑事档案部的员工被绑架，当检察官与绑匪通电话谈判时，接电话的人确实拉斐尔，阿里斯特德也与她在一起，因此她们也被怀疑为绑匪的同谋。”阿斯特菲尔”cp真的参与了绑架案？这起绑架案牵出一件七年前的肇事逃逸案，这个两个案子之间有什么联系呢？
