I've only seen him in one episode where he was really dedicated to what he was doing and that was in Season 5. SVU writers, be equal to him and let someone stalk him or let him get shot at. He is the leader after all.

He is the leader after all. I agree. Cragen needs more on screen time. He was great on the Mothership L & O and I was sadly dissapointed when he was replaced and delighted when Wolf brought him aboard SVU as the captain.

If I remember right, the reason he got replaced is because NBC told Dick Wolf that he needed to bring more women to the show and that's the reason why he got fired from the mothership. *grumbles*

If I remember right, the reason he got replaced is because NBC told "thingy" Wolf that he needed to bring more women to the show and that's the reason why he got fired from the mothership. *grumbles* You remember right. NBC wanted it to involve more women and they also wanted it to be glitzier and sexier. The first 2 years portrayed extremely gritty and realistic police and D.A. work. Michael Moriarity as Executive D.A. Stone wasn't the cutest guy on the block but boy could he prosecute a case. Those years are still my faves. I have nothing against Sam Waterson and his long list of beautiful ADA's, but I think over the years the show has lost its originial flare..Oh well thats just my opinion

It was good up until Jerry Orbach died. Then it just went down hill from there. Lenny Briscoe was so awesome on there. My favorite Briscoe quote of all time: "This should be labled 'D' for Dead." I think he did say that. I've read it somewhere...

I think he did say that. I've read it somewhere... Yes he did say that..His one liners were fantstic. Until he came to the Mothership there was no real chemistry between Det. Logan and his 1st 2 partners. Then came Briscoe and he carried the show. What a sad loss. 8 min. till SVU on USA..lol..

I also think Cragen definitely needs more screen time. Yeah. He is the leader of the squad after all.
