MURDER BRINGING `LAW & ORDER' TO TINSELTOWN.Byline: Orange County Register No matter how much we Southern Californians love ``Law & Order,'' we know the show belongs to the Big Apple. Filmed in Manhattan, the series tastes New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of gritty and plays fast as a New York minute. So when ``Law & Order'' comes west to loll loll v. lolled, loll·ing, lolls v.intr. 1. To move, stand, or recline in an indolent or relaxed manner. 2. about Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. for Thursday's launch of a three-episode story about the Manhattan murder of an L.A. studio executive - hey, that's a Hollywood hoot. And if the three-parter has vague overtones of L.A.'s favorite pastime - the O.J. Simpson case - that spikes the thrill. Thursday's episode, called ``D-Girl,'' follows detectives Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) as they tackle Tinseltown, flying to L.A. to take a blood sample from prime suspect Evan Grant (Jeffrey D. Sams Jeffrey D. Sams (born September 1, 1964 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American actor known primarily for his television work. A native of Ohio, Sams has been a main cast member of several television series, few of which have made it past their first season. ). Grant is an African-American male personal trainer to the stars who may have killed the white female studio executive back in New York. And ``D-Girl'' is industry slang for the perky perk·y adj. perk·i·er, perk·i·est 1. Having a buoyant or self-confident air; briskly cheerful. 2. Jaunty; sprightly. perk young women who work in studio development, ferreting out story ideas for films and TV, although it may have a double meaning here. Just watch. In all, ``D-Girl'' is a slyer, looser ``Law & Order'' than usual. There are some good jabs at Hollywood pretense, from humorless studio guards to self-absorbed directors. Plus Robert Culp (``I Spy'') does a cameo - also humorless - as himself. |
