As promised, here is # 14 of my Top 25 TV Show countdown. This show is actually not a science fiction program, yes I know you can’t say that about many on this list, but a show that I didn’t really get into until just a few years ago. I credit my roommate, Mr. Nick Volpe, for helping me become a huge fan of this program.
So here it is, # 14…
Three years ago, I had never seen a single episode of any of the Law and Order variations. However, thanks for the influence of Nick and his undying love for this show, I have become a huge fan of this program.
One thing that I have always enjoyed about this show is the characters. Elliot Stabler and Olivia Bensen are one of the top duos on the television today. They have ideal chemistry and that is a necessity for this genre. Granted some of the storylines seem to be repetitive, but I guess with the specialized group of cops that this show focuses on, this is not a total surprise.
One thing that SVU does so well is their choice of guest stars. Not only do they have a wide range of celebrity guest stars, but the ones they choose always seem to be a fantastic job in their roles. My personal favorites are Robin Williams and Lou Diamond Phillips, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Other guest stars include Martin Short, Angela Lansbury, and Tara Reid and many, many others.
The show provides a nice combo of humor, action, strong acting, as well as the typical “cop” show persona that makes this one of the better shows on television.
Stay tuned for # 13!
