Just Because... "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit"

Pals
Mariska Hargitay & Peter Gallagher

Just Because it will become the longest running TV Drama in history this season, twenty-one years and counting. Just Because it is one of my favorite TV Shows ever & Just Because Mariska Hargiaty is terrific as Olivia Benson. Here she is along with another actor I like, Peter Gallagher on the set the upcoming record breaking season in NYC.

It never ceases to amaze me how intricate, clever and compelling Law and Order: SVU storylines are. The coolest thing about them is they start out headed in one direction and more often than not veer off into another one you would have never thought. "Yes" snd they all make logical sense.

Along with top notch actors, the writers are amazing as well. When I see these stories unfold, as a writer I think to myself "Wow! How did they come up with that?!"

To keep a show going this many years and maintain the quality and keep it's audience is no small feat. 

Congratulations to all involved I am looking forward to this season dropping, can't wait to watch!

Is anyone out there a big Law & Order: SVU  fan, like me? Well if you are like me you are watching what is now the twentieth season of one of the longest running TV shows of all time.

Seen here filming season twenty in NYC is none other than Mariska Hargitay aka Sergeant Olivia Benson. I remember when Olivia was merely a detective and a damn good one at that with a hot partner named Elliot Stabler played by stud muffin Christopher Meloni.

Times they have and are a changing. While the cast has gone through some shake-ups, most notably the departure of Meloni. The show's popularity endures with the public, something about it truly resonates with people. It is the most popular of the Law & Order franchise, the original Law & Order running a close second. 

Personally I never get tired of the show and even watch marathons of it on occasion. While I must admit the show had been pretty hit or miss seasons eighteen and nineteen. Season twenty has been a home run week after week.

Twenty years and still going strong, now that's saying something!
