#LAW AND ORDER CROSSOVER SERIES#
Wolf briefly attempted to continue the series on cable, but the series "moved into the history books". On May 14, 2010, NBC announced that it was canceling the original series, although various spin-offs will continue. The first thirty minutes of an episode typically features a lead detective trio. Law & Order, a crime procedural, features both a police investigation of a crime discovered during the cold open, and a prosecution case set forth by the New York County District Attorney, at the Manhattan DA's office. Main article: Law & Order 21 seasons, 466 episodes (Septem– Febru– present) Past episodes of the American series are in syndication with local over-the-air stations, along with cable channels such as USA Network and Bravo (both owned by the franchise's production company, NBCUniversal), TNT, WGN America, Ion Television, and AMC Networks' SundanceTV and WeTV, showing episodes sometimes up to six times a day. The shows share the iconic "dun, dun" sound effect of a jail cell locking, created, along with the theme songs, by Mike Post. The music, style, and credits of the shows tend to be similar, with the voiceover in the opening of every series performed by Steven Zirnkilton. A few major characters have also left the cast of one show within the franchise only to eventually join another. Occasionally, crossovers of main characters or shared storylines between two of the shows will occur. Many supporting characters, such as district attorneys, psychologists, and medical examiners are also shared among the shows. Shared people and resources in a common fictional setting are the connecting links between the shows, e.g., Hudson University and the New York Ledger tabloid newspaper.

They were originally broadcast on NBC, and all of them deal with some aspect of the criminal justice system.
