| At The Emmys l-r Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay & Ice-T |
Happy Monday! If you happened to watch the Emmys last night you got the usual mixed bag of highs and lows. My favorite speech of the evening belongs to Cristin Milioti who won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series for The Penguin.
Thanking someone and wanting to "freebase their brain" has to be one of the all time best quotes I've ever heard an actor utter during an award acceptance speech.
Oh, and let's not forget the Law & Order tribute award presentation. However it is this photo of Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay and Ice-T in sitting together in the audience that is giving me all the feels today.
"Yes" I am a huge Law & Order: SVU fan and I can't wait for the Season 27 premiere Thursday September 25th!
Enjoy your day and have some feels on me!!!

Watched My Mom Jayne last night on MAX...WOW!!!
Mariska Hargitay does a most excellent job at the helm of this documentary about her journey reclaiming her mother's story and her own.
I really can't say too much more about it other than there were two revelations that were quite surprising.
A must see!!!

Law & Order: SVU has been my favorite TV Drama since it premiered September 20th 1999. Cut to it making TV history as the longest running drama on network Television ever when it was renewed for season 25. Then is was renewed for a 26th season.
Guess what Minions?! Here comes season 27!
The photo is from the star of SVU, Mariska Hargitay's Instagram page celebrating yet another milestone with the caption:
"Here’s to season 27!! WHAAA??? #CHEERS🥂 LFG!"
Cheers indeed! I am so happy that there is at least one more season left of SVU. It's been an important part of most of my adult life.
Even without new seasons there is always a Law & Order: SVU marathon airing on a station at any given moment. Trust me I've seen most of the episodes at least three times or more!
One can never get enough SVU, can one? I know I can't.
Live long and prosper!

I thought we would kick off the first day of July with some of that ole' Double Vision.
Here we have a side by side of Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: SVU fame with her Mother the legendary Jayne Mansfield.
Notice anything? If you said they are Dead Ringers for one another except for the hair color you would be correct!
I first went WOW when I spied this image. I would have never seen the resemblance unless these two phtos of Mother and Daughter had been placed side by side.
File it under: Things That Make You Go Hmmmm
It's time to July!

I would be remiss if I did not acknoledge that my favorite TV show ever Law & Order: SVU is currently airing it's record breaking 25th season on NBC!!!
Thus there has been much celebration and press covering the blessed event focusing on rhe two stars who have been with it the entire run Mariska Hargitay & Ice-T.
Ice sums up the appeal of the show like this: "The beauty of SVU is that its entertainment doubles as a source of comfort for many. Characters like Fin Tutuola, Hargitay's Olivia Benson and even Kelli Giddish's Amanda Rollins are determined to get justice, and they can do it all in the span of 45 minutes."
Exactly! Justice is almost always served on SVU and in a world of uncertainty that is comfort of the highest order.
Here's hoping SVU goes at least a few more years past season 25...Kudos!

| Traci Lords |
As all you Law & Order: SVU fans out there, like me, know it has been renewed for season 25, WOW!!! Making it's longest running TV Drama reign ever even longer...
When a show is on this long needless to say just about everyone has guest starred on it. Except for one notable exception, I would love to see Traci Lords appear on the show.
Traci has done many TV guest starring roles of note such as a great turn as Sharon Lescher on the Profiler, not to leave out also appearing on Will & Grace, Roseanne and Melrose Place.
She also gives an great performance in the psychological horror film Excision, not to mention her terrific stage debut in Women Behind Bars at The Montalban in Hollywood, CA just prior to the pandemic.
How great would she be on SVU? Amazing! That's how great she would be.
My thought would be for her to portray someone from Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) past. There's a loaded scenario just waiting to explode.
To those out there responsible for casting decisions consider this great idea my gift to you and do it!

| HBD! Mariska Hargitay |
OK, while I rarely do a celebrity Birthday post, today I felt compelled to do so because today is none other than Commanding Officer Olivia Benson of Law & Order: SVU's Birthday!
In basic terms Happy Birthday Mariska Hargitay!!! Law & Order: SVU is in it's 24th season and .happens to be my favorite show on TV, well, ever actually. So how could I not wish Mariska a HBD? I simply had to.
Doesn't the Birthday grrrrrl look great holding her People's Choice Award for the Drama Star of 2022? A testament to her and the shows enduring popularity.
Born January 23rd in Santa Monica, CA to the legendary Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, Mariska is 59 today.
BTW looking forward to this week's episode of SVU, well because it looks like Benson & Stabler finally seal the deal...

| They're Back! Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni |
Well here's a sight for Sunday Funday eyes, it's Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni magically appearing on Law & Order press day in NYC.
This is cause for celebration amongst us L&O fans as Law & Order Thursdays return this week, yay!!!
Honestly I'm not sure why these shows run with new episodes for a month and then break for a month, perhaps that's the way the Pandemic has affected their shooting schedules? Perhaps they simply like to string their fans along?
Whatever the case, it's frustrating, but oh so gratifying when the show hits the airwaves again.
Looking forward never straight until this Thursday February 24th.
Meanwhile enjoy Sunday Funday!

| They'll Be Back! Jason Biggs & Mariska Hargitay |
This week until February 24th is indeed quite Hump Day & Chill because Law & Order: SVU does not make it's way back on the air until then. They are currently shooting new episodes on the intrepid streets of New York.
Thus I bequeath you some behind the scenes action of Mariska Hargitay and Jason Biggs to help quench you thirstiness until then.
I'm quite the giver as you know.
To all you die hard Law & Order: SVU fans, like me, let's try to carry on as best we can until it returns and have ourselves a grand Hump Day & Chill!

| The Final Countdown??? Mariska Hargitay |
Seldom does an Instagram post excite me, but this one of Mariska Hargitay on set of Law & Order SVU season 23 that she posted last week on does, so there!
It's my all time favorite show and I have seen all of the episodes at least twice. Hey, who doesn't love those SVU marathons on the weekends? I ask you, I'm waiting, OK, moving on.
Presently this season is the one before what is currently scheduled to be the last season 24. However my Spidey Sense tells me there just might could be one or two more seasons past that.
For now thought let's live in the moment. I am happy to see that filming is currently underway for a September debut.
That's all, that's the memo. Move along now...

| Feel The Love Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni |
Happiness is...
Well that takes on many shapes and forms, but for all intended purposes today, happiness is being reunited!
In case you have not caught my drift, I am a huge Law & Order: SVU fan. I so seldom fan out on anything, thus you need to understand how much weight this truly carries, got it?!
Thus nothing makes me slap happier than seeing this photo of Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni working together again.
"Yes" I know it's to provide the starting point for Chris' spin off series Law & Order: Organized Crime, but this dynamic duo is back in action, if even for a blip second, and that brings me joy.
So where's the Monday Motivation in all this? Find something that brings you happiness and joy today, even if it is just a TV Show.
It's all good...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well then two pictures must be worth two thousand words.
So let's take time out to Hump Day & Chill with these images from the set of Law & Order: SVU -
The Stabler & Benson reunion we fans have all been waiting for is really happening as documented by these images of the epsiode now filming.
I can't wait to see Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni together again, bask Minions, bask!
Hump Day & Chill indeed...
