Why in the world did Law & Order end?

Would a Law & Order reunion disappoint people?

Law & Order aired from 1990-2010 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Imperioli said he's not sure if Law & Order would work today. “I don't want to see old Nick Falco,” he told a journalist (Imperioli turned 58 in March). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.

Still hoping for a Law & Order movie?

In a recent interview, Anthony Anderson (who played Kevin Bernard between 2008 and 2010) said he can't imagine a Law & Order reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Dianne Wiest (who played Nora Lewin between 2000 and 2002) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Law & Order movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Law & Order film, Chris Noth stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
