28. I love Law and Order: Criminal Intent
Wed Jun 3, 2026, 11:52 AM

I liked Chris Noth and I liked Jeff Goldblum but I LOVED Vincent D'Onofrio. I wish they'd bring that one back.

And Monk was great too. What a hoot! All those episodes and it never got tired or old. That's a real accomplishment for any kind of series. And Tony Shalhoub was so good. I was sorry when it ended.
