I feel he makes the show interesting.  My mother says he's based on Columbo.  We call him "the craazy man" because he's always doing odd things.  I think he's brilliant.  If they kick him off the show, I will never watch it again.

I love Vincent D'Onofrio.  I love how his character analyzes everything.. and the way his character interrogates people.  I think he is a great actor.  He's the reason I watch Law and Order Criminal Intent.

You know this is a GREAT question as it will surely draw the true Ethics out of your answerers... Personally I think it takes A LOT of fortitude to do what he is doing...he isn't laying there like a 'speed bump' and mock turtle crying. he is being terrifically proactive in his challenge...and I see dignity in this. I can say he was never one of my favourites before, in fact I didn't like the show...but what has emerge, in my opinion only, as a man who is thoughtful, strong, witty, and REFUSING to let the (metaphoric) ship go down....NOW i am absolutely a ...well if not a fan,....then definitely in his cheering section....He did his job so well that he has been taken as rather stupid....funny isn't it? The truth comes out and the best of us seems to be shown in a crisis....for this, he is proof positive. \nI want to see him make this happen! Innovative and through it all, regardless of the out come...he stand steady fast and tall....\nWell I bypassed your initial request which I shall now give...\n"The man has Guts!"

It's kinda weird.  On the one hand, it's a behind-the-curtains look at how the modern Mob operates.  (Even real wiseguys believe so).  On the other, it's a deconstruction of the Mob myth.\n\nThese aren't young, dapper, cool guys who hang out with hot chicks and break the law because they don't care.  These are real people with real issues trying to lead a life in a seedy, but real world with its own rules and penalties.\n\nBut to be honest, the show lost me after season 2 (No BP, no show)

I was actually kind of glad when Ecko, Ana Lucia, and Libby got killed off.  I did not approve of the actors getting in trouble with the law.  The women were driving drunk and I find that totally unacceptable.  My friend's brother was killed by a drunk driver.  I can't recall if the actor who played Ecko was DUI or if he was just driving without a license and gave the police a hard time.

I love the show, even though it is really far-fetched.  I think Wentworth Miller was a perfect casting choixce in that role.  I am also happy that Peter Stormare's character is back on the show.  I can't wait to see whta happens next season!

Amen brother! I asked a similar question regarding the carster. My biggest thing with him is he cuts people off, just when they are getting into an interesting story, with a stupid attempt at humor.  I then find myself yelling at the tv, and then realizing, hey why am I watching this, I can go and scratch my eyes out instead...or change the channel.

I was disappointed early in the season when Tony would be in dream-state.  That was a waste of time.  The brokeback thing came to an end last night with one of the more gruesome deaths I've seen on TV.  What I don't like is the inconsistency of the bosses in Tony's family wanting to kill Vito for being Gay and then defending him after his death because he was one of their made men.  They should have been happy the rival family killed him for them, but the writers like to complicate things and they clearly have to start a war between families so people die and they can end the series.  So in short, I'm mixed on the current season, but I'm committed to watching it and still find it better than almost everything else on TV.

He's not an *** he's idiosyncratic.. lol ... It's just his take on the world and his views on how things are "supposed to be" that are so funny. I love all the situations he ends up in. I love the "fish-out-of-water" scenarios. He's constantly "in trouble" with his wife. He always has to apologize to someone for something. It's hilarious. He constantly takes things to the Nth degree. He can never just let things go. It makes for hilarious television. I can't wait until the sixth season !!

Yeah I agree, and I hate anyone who says that we are so stupid and in "love." And especially people who say that people who like them must be ugly too. I hate all those put downs. What people dont relize that its them, adults, saying to real kids at the computer they are dumb. Anyway, I love Cole. He is hot, smart, and funny. Well at least thats the way it seems on the show... :)

He only uses the bad language because a) he's passionate about what he does (and he's good at it!) and b) it's kind of become his trademark. If you can see beyond the language his shows are quite entertaining.

It's one of the best shows on TV..how can people not like it. I enjoy it because it hits home for me (abuse, rape, etc). Christopher and Mariska work so well together and Ice T is so funny.  He's always making jokes and NEVER smiles..he cracks me up.Did you know that you can go on Christopher site and ask him questions and he actually answers..BLUNTLY too.  It was better when Olivia and Stabler were together as partners..I am not crazy about Dani.

Oh my goodness, I only watch CSI: Miami because it cracks me up! They are alll such bad actors and the actual science is pretty much made up. And I love how investigators can be combing a scene for an hour but Horatio can walk up and point out 3 or 4 things that they had missed. And he always tilts his head to the side and puts on his sunglasses very dramatically, I have to stop now or I'll be here all night!

IF you had watched the show he answered your question. He does his stunts tp bring people together from every walk of life. He also tests his endurance to kindof bring himself closer to what his mother went through when she had terminal cancer. So please give the man a break. (for those who think hes the anti-christ or the devil...just chill, hes just entertaining people)

I doubt it, because 1) that show is funny. 2) that show is better than a lot of the junk they show. 3) that guy is a joker like the guy from Punk'd. That guy pretended to kill his show to have famous people let their guards down, so he could hit them even harder. A trick it was, as maybe this one can be

Wow, It's amazing how someone can have so much hate for someone on TV. I wouldn't watch a show that made me feel that way. BTW...I like he's attitude and his approach toward drug addicts. After all they are just lost souls. It's sure better than watching some BA rookie cop pepper-spray some skinny junkie & then kick the crap out of them. Now that's Jerry Springer S#%!

I am the number 1 fan of Andy. I love all of them. I really liked the one where opie made the new friend and he was a really bratty kid and he talked opie into being bad too but it didn't;t work well with Andy. There are to many to mention. but I really do love the show and i watch it every night at 10 and 10:30.
