Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (also known as Law & Order:
SVU, or SVU) is an American drama television program about the
Special Victims Unit in the fictitious 16th Precinct of New York City. It is a
spin-off of the crime drama Law & Order and follows the same
opening style of its parent. SVU is currently the highest rated series of
the Law & Order franchise, and is one of NBC's top rated shows. The
Law & Order franchise also includes two other series dramas: the
original Law & Order, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
SVU can currently be seen on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST on NBC in
America and at 10 p.m. EST in Canada on CTV. In addition, the show is
syndicated on the USA Network. The show is currently in its eighth season.
On January 25, 2007, NBC confirmed that the show would be back next fall
for a ninth season, as Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have
extended their contracts for an additional two years.
DISCUZ!
