Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what season did Lennie Briscoe join the 27th precinct?

Answer: three

Jerry Orbach joined the cast in the middle of the third season. And Mike Logan was not pleased to get Lennie as a partner, might I add :)

Answer: "More like a foot, foot and a half."

This is from "Stalker" from season eight. If Lennie hadn't testified, a man they know is guilty of stalking and killing a woman would have been let off on a technicality.

3. When Lennie is told that a particular murder was the work of the devil, what does he say?

Answer: "No, this was done by someone who knows the neighborhood. Satan's not a local."

This is from the episode "Profile" in season 4. Lennie is very disillusioned about religion.

Answer: "My condolences."

This is from the episode "Blue Bamboo." Lennie has two ex-wives (or as he says, he's been "single three times"). He is very cynical about marriage.

8. Jerry Orbach guest-starred on "Law and Order" in season 2 as a defendent.

He guest-starred as a defense attorney. It is quite interesting to see Jerry Orbach in the courtroom, as we are so used to him playing Lennie Briscoe.

This is from the episode "Divorce" in season 8. He does not hold lawyers, especially divorce lawyers, in high esteems. After two divorces, who can blame him?

This is from "American Jihad," the premiere episode of season 13.
