Quote: the G-man said: I could be wrong, but I don't think its going to make it. For some reason, I was thinking L&O had started in 88.
To my understanding, the show's first episode, "Prescription For Death," was aired in 1988 on CBS as a pilot for the show. CBS declined to pick it up, but NBC bought the series, made some changes to it (most notably, replacing Roy Thinnes's DA Arthur Wentworth with Stephen Hill's Adam Schiff) in 1990 and episodes began airing that same year.
