Law & Order: Special Victims UnitFirst Aired in 1999 This hard-hitting and emotional companion series from NBC’s Law & Order franchise chronicles the life and crimes of the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf. SVU celebrated its 100th episode in November 2003. Although Law & Order: Special Victims Unit carries the brand name Law & Order, the newer program has established a strong unique identity and has proven itself as a hit in its own right. In the 2002-2003 season, the series broke into the Top 10 and garnered an Emmy nomination for guest-star Barbara Barrie. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit achieved the highest adult 18-49 ratings average for any Friday series on any network for each of the last four seasons. In fact, this past season, SVU delivered NBC’s biggest advantage with regular programs in that time period in the history of Nielsen’s current People Meter technology. Additionally, the series’ popularity was recognized in its debut season by both the People’s Choice Awards and the TV Guide Awards with nominations for Favorite New Series. The drama follows Det. Elliot Stabler, a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all, and his partner, Olivia Benson, whose difficult past is the reason she joined the unit. Overseeing the team is Capt. Donald Cragen. Cragen’s tough but supportive approach to the team’s complex cases guides the squad through the challenges they face every day. Also featured is Det. John Munch, a transfer from Baltimore’s homicide unit, who brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories and street-honed investigative skills. Munch is partnered with Det. Odafin Tutuola, whose unique sense of humor and investigative experience make him a formidable match for Munch. Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot, and her successor, ADA Casey Novak add a legal component to the series through their efforts to bring closure to the intense investigations. Also aiding the detectives is forensic psychiatrist Dr. George Huang, whose insight into the minds of the accused often provides significant clues that lead to the resolution of a case, and M.E. Melinda Warner, who helps the detectives get the evidence they need from the bodies they find. 09/99 to 11/99 -- Mondays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT 01/00 to 05/03 -- Fridays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT 09/03 to present -- Tuesdays 10:00 p.m. ET/PT Nielsen Ratings History 1999-2000 season #30 2000-2001 season #25 2001-2002 season #12 2002-2003 season #16 2003-2004 season #20 If you see any mistakes on this page or if you have more infomation about this show, please submit a comment |
