 I am such a big fan of Law and Order: SVU.  I love tuning in weekly on NBC 10, and, on many occasions daily on USA  to see this exciting, informative crime drama that simulates cases that we see in our local newspapers or on the news.  I especially like that when I turn on SVU I will see the characters I have come to know and love. 

 Though most of the subject matter deals with some sort of sex crime, it is totally believable, if sometimes sad, because it depicts exactly what is going on in our society.  I can't count how many episodes I've seen that reminded me of something I saw on the local news.  I am sometimes moved to tear by the content of these programs, but, I am lured back by the characters that make the program realistic, Elliot Stabler, Olivia Benson, John Munch, Fenn Tutuola, Dr. Warner and Captain Craigan.

  I look forward to seeing these people investigate crimes, arrest perpetrators and close a case.  Knowing that most or all of the same people will be on the show week after week working as a team is comforting to me. The job they do cannot be easy for the real sex crimes squads or even for the actors since the subject matter is very touchy.  I have to think that some of the stories touch some of the cast members personally. I know that I feel as though I know these characters personally because I see them on every show.

 Kudos to the actors and actresses who portray the team that investigates the crimes of the Special Victim's Unit. My hat goes off to each one of them and to their real life counterparts.They make the show much more enjoyable than Law and Order: Criminal Intent, where you never know which characters will be on the show.  I like to watch a show with continuity.

Hopefully, Law and Order: SVU will be around as long as the original Law and Order.  Maybe longer.

Thanx so much for the nice comments. I don't watch CI so much, it's too much of a grab bag. You never know if you're getting Eames and Goram or some other pair. I usually stick to SVU.
