	Dick Wolf
		Wolf spoke to WSN about his new series, Crime & Punishment, and about his distinguished career in television, which spans some 25 years.
		WOLF: Just because they are stand-alone episodes that are story driven, not character driven, so if people don't see the show for a while, or they miss an episode, there's no catching up.
		WOLF: Drama is conflict and the oldest conflict is life and death, which you get all the time in police and law shows.

		Wolf gives everyone e.g., the police technical consultant, the executive producer, the actor playing a corpse (she was paid $161 for the day's work)a few crisp, concise paragraphs to explain their contributions.

		But Wolf's initial premise, in which he set out to mix documentary-style filming with a constant stream of dialogue to tell complex, real-life legal-obsessive stories, meant pushing the envelope of what was accepted on television.
		The personal lives of the characters were almost non-existent; traditional camera angles and established shots were gone, and the story was always told from the point of view of the principal four characters: two cops, two lawyers.
		Wolf, however, is leery of taking credit for ushering in some kind of cop new age, saying he lets the writers do the grunt work.

		Wolf had previously been hitched to the studio through early 2003.Wolf said the new deal is similar in scope to his previous arrangement.
		Wolf is also developing the reality drama Trial and Error for NBC's midseason schedule.While Wolf said he's kicking around ideas for a fourth edition of Law and Order, nothing is in the works just yet.
		Wolf has said that the main reason for the show's success is because "every week you get a totally contained, complete story." And that's true, although the trend in recent seasons has been to add more red herrings to the plots.

	The Spoof - Dick Wolf Indicted on 26 Counts of Conspiracy to Commit Murder.
		Murders have been committed on the television show from the very beginning, but nearly all of the perpetrators see justice before the end of the episode, so, under the rules of double jeopardy, law enforcement is usually unable to pursue legal action outside of television.
		Wolf seemed distressed at finally being on the other side of a judicial proceeding, but was confident that his long experience would win the day.
		Wolf did produce those shows, and did intend that those murders should happen” said his attorney.

		Dick Wolf is a television producer and creator of several TV series, including "Law and Order" and "New York Undercover." And Eric Mink is television critic for the New York Daily News.
		DICK WOLF: Because what you have now is people deciding what is appropriate content; that an age based system is something that the movies have been dealing with for 30 years.
		Everybody knows what the parameters are, but even in the same household you are going to have a mother who may see a scene and think that that's gratuitous violence, and a father may see the same scene vis-a-vis his 10 year old and think that that's a perfectly acceptable action sequence.

	Dick Wolf's "Law and Order" and Tom DeLay - Page 2 - Sean Hannity Discussion
		When Tom DeLay naturally complained about the episode executive producer Dick Wolf used the same lame line from the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown era, it is only a work of fiction.
		It's an Aronofsky film about this mathematical genius who starts to go crazy thinking that the mystery to the entire world can be solved using circles; the end result is that he puts a drill to his head to avoid being a genius, and thus, stop seeing imaginary circles.
		Basically what Wolf is really saying here is that you should never criticize judges and the decisions they make because there might be some loony-toon living in a swamp somewhere who might take matters into his own hands.

		Both Wolf and Platt are protective of the series' lead character, newspaper columnist Wallace Benton, and refuse to be pinned down in detail on exactly what sort of animal he is, at least not now, so early in the run of the series, which premiered in early October.
		Wolf is more clear about his vision for the show, which he stresses is "entertainment, not a documentary," with the mandate of keeping at least ten million people tuned in to each episode.
		Wolf nonetheless appears determined to place his trademark shine-the-light-on-the-issues touch on "Deadline," with episodes touching on everything from racism and radicals to the strange bedfellows created by today's corporate media conglomerates.

		This may account for why Wolf (at 58 a veteran producer who has weathered his share of flops) takes umbrage at how the network discarded "Trial By Jury" after long benefiting from its three predecessors.
		With just a pilot script in hand, NBC has ordered 13 episodes of "Conviction," which Wolf created after finding this statistic: Among the hundreds of prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office, the average age is 28.
		Wolf, who sizes up this strategy with a "no comment," might prefer to have "Conviction" in the "Law & Order" fold.

		I also think Dick Wolf had it right when he said that Delay was trying to shift the focus to a hot show rather than on his hot seat.
		The original "Dirty Harry" movie with Clint Eastwood took some not too thinly veiled swipes at the liberal court system letting criminals out on the streets on technicalities, and this was in the '70s.
		What I find offensive about Dick Wolf is how does he view the First Amendment these days, to wit, in his mind can we EVER criticize judges and their decisions?

	Conviction - Thief - New York Magazine TV Review
		Jill Hennessy’s Claire Kincaid perished in a car crash after her first capital-punishment case; Michael Moriarty might as well be dead as far as Wolf’s concerned; and Jerry Orbach actually is. Richard Brooks and Carey Lowell have reappeared, and some of us still hope once more to hear Angie Harmon’s husky scotch-malt voice.
		I have a theory about Wolf’s revolving door, but to explain it would require a long detour into those Manichaean and Gnostic heresies in which seraphim must reassemble the broken body of the original Adam to recover the hidden light.
		Backstories and “relationships” used to be anathema to Wolf, yet the very first hour of Conviction ends in a sweaty bed with the insinuation that office sex, coke in condoms, and death on Mott Street may all be related.
