Clue Explanations
Ahem. Let’s begin, shall we?
Clue one was taken from a painting called “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. How does this relate to Law & Order? Well, the painter was called Munch, and Richard Belzer plays Detective Munch on Law & Order: SVU!
Clue number two was a delightful midi file of a mid-nineties pop hit. The song? Runaway. The artist? The Real McCoy. So what does that have to do with Law & Order? Why, the world’s best ADA on Law & Order just happens to be a Mr Jack McCoy!
Clue number three was this picture which was sent exclusively by email. As you can see, it’s of a wolf howling at the moon. Connection? Law & Order was created and is produced by Dick Wolf!
Clue four was a picture of someone in handcuffs. Doesn’t take a genius to work out how this might be related to Law & Order now, does it? Course not!
The alluring clue number five was a picture of Jayne Mansfield. Related to Law & Order how? Well, she’s the mother of Law & Order: SVU’s Mariska Hargitay (who plays Det. Olivia Benson).
My original rather crap unofficial clue number six was the following statement. If Tom Jones was involved in a musical, and that musical sounded a little like a soft drink - how would something about that musical be related to our topic of appreciation?
Well. I buggered that up royally. A Mr Tom Jones cowrote Broadway’s longest running musical The Fantasticks, which starred a certain Jerry Orbach as El Gallo. Jerry has recently quit his beloved Law & Order character Lenny Briscoe to pursue other stuff. Boo!
The official clue number six was a picture of three productions - Dirty Dancing, New Jack City & Angel. Dirty Dancing starred Jerry Orbach as Baby’s dad, New Jack City starred Ice T who plays Det. Fin Tutuola on Law & Order: SVU, and Angel originally starred Elizabeth Rohm as Kate, and she now appears on Law & Order as an ADA.
Phew!

Lord, those clues were HARD. The only ones that helped me were handcuffs and Ice T.
I'm glad to be the one to figure it out though! I love these puzzles!

Aww, you're not just saying that? Yay! Well, I endeavoured to make them hard but not impossible, and I'm glad someone got it. Will you get the next one though, or will someone beat you to it? Time will tell.
I didn't realise I'd gone on about Law & Order before! Hahaha I would have chosen something different if that was the case!
Now... to plan for Appreciation Week #3!
