Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode title is a parody of the phrase used by supporters of General Dwight D. Eisenhower when he was running for President of the United States. Eisenhower's nickname was Ike, and fellow Army Generals and Republicans coined the phrase "I Like Ike," a phrase then used by Eisenhower's campaign manager when "Ike" was running for office. A number of posters were made with Eisenhower's picture and the phrase "I Like Ike" across the top. They are one of the most sought after items by collectors of political memorabilia.
- GoofsThe pharmacist at the hospital pharmacy said that they didn't have an address on file for the suspect in question. However the suspect filled a prescription for Percodan, a schedule II controlled substance. Pharmacies are required to document the address of a patient's residence when filling a prescription for a controlled substance.

Featured review
Doing the Right Thing
'Law & Order' in it's prime did sensational cases where the crime was vicious or the details so lurid you'd think it was completely nuts if it wasn't based on reality. On the other hand this episode 'We Like Mike' presents a more down to earth scenario when the initial suspect turns key witness (hence the play on words title). It's this element that is largely it's calling card and fans of 'Band of Brothers' will recognize, appreciate actor Frank John Hughes in an earlier role.
Tiffany (Reiko Aylesworth) waits for her brother to pick her up, but he's late so she leaves. Brushing shoulders with Mike Bodack (Hughes) on the way, she's horrified to discovers her brother shot dead up the block in his car. They track Mike down and with circumstantial evidence, he starts to look good for the murder and is arrested. Until it becomes clear Ricky Garcia (Benny Nieves) an Hispanic man is the real killer. When a confession, evidence gets tossed McCoy (Waterston) and Ross (Lowell) need him more than ever to make the id, but it's a bridge that Mike might not want to cross after he got burned by them.
The theme of getting involved, talking to the police makes for a decent basis rooted in reality. There's some good developments that up the stakes. Mike's willingness to continue doing the right thing is admirable, but perhaps like me you'll feel the ending is a little too clean given what hangs in the balance. I don't know if I'd be forgiving especially if you wrecked my wedding day, but 'We Like Mike' is a decent episode.
