I know you L&O addicts are with me on this one. Ever turn on the tv, happen to see a certain type of scene, for instance, someone being arrested for murder. And then you just know that the time must be about half-past the hour? Or a suspect gives chase and the 2 detectives go off in separate directions in order to get him, and you know it must be about 20 after? The following article made me laugh, because I was nodding along with everything they describe.

That's pretty accurate with one or two variations on the theme. What I love to do is tell you the whole episode based on what happens before the opening credits.

There is a person on YouTube who puts together commentaries about SVU episodes--funny as hell, especially if you are a loyal viewer of the show:

One more very true article:

http://www.slate.com/id/2254129

An excerpt:

By Michael KinsleyPosted Monday, May 17, 2010, at 4:12 PM ET



"(Note: In the marital relations system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the wives who watch Law & Order obsessively, and the husbands who don't. This is their story. Ka-chunk.)




Recently I got married, fairly late in life for that sort of thing, and have made astonishing discoveries. Most of these revelations turn out to be common knowledge. But one, I believe, has not been widely aired.
People's Exhibit A (my wife), Your Honor, is a formidable, intelligent woman with an important and challenging job and a full private life. (Also undeniable loveliness and charm, which are not strictly relevant to the present case.) She doesn't squander her time. And yet she spends many hours a week watching reruns of Law & Order—often back-to-back (the shows, that is).

It would be misleading to call her a fan. Law & Order, the long-running crime drama, is not just one of her favorite TV shows, or even her very favorite. Other than reruns of Law & Order, she has almost no interest in television at all. Specifically, she has no interest in any of the (to me) barely distinguishable Law & Order spinoffs and rip-offs (such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Double-Entry Bookkeeping, CSI, CSI: Miami, Mayberry R.F.D. and so on.) She's not even interested in new episodes of Law & Order itself. She couldn't tell you what night it's on and has no view about what this country is coming to when a man like Fred Thompson can be plucked from the obscurity of the United States Senate and entrusted with the responsibility of running the prosecutor's office on Law & Order.

Nor does she care—or even, possibly, notice—whether it is Michael Moriarty or Sam Waterston who is being unvarnished in any episode she may be watching. Don't ask her whether the female assistant district attorney is the blonde or one of the brunettes. Don't attempt to amuse her by predicting what demographic category the judge will be from. ("They've had four black women in a row, so I'm thinking white man. No, I know, that's ridiculous, so I'll go with white woman—but in a wheelchair. Whaddya think, Honey? Honey?? Ouch, that hurt. OK, never mind.")

Exhibit A and I assumed that this was our little secret. Perhaps it had to do with our weather here in Seattle, which affects some people oddly. Or too much coffee. But then we had a visitor from the East Coast who announced that his wife was about to become the TV critic of a major newspaper. "And the amazing thing," he added, "is that she never watches TV except for reruns of Law & Order.""

I don't really agree with this one at all. If you don't notice whether it's a Ben Stone or a Jack McCoy you are most likely borderline brain damaged. If you don't have some standards (i.e., going to take a large shit when Elisabeth Rohm talks for more than a second) then you should just do the show and yourself a favor and start watching something else.

Yeah if you don't know at least which character is playing your A/DA, detectives, etc. then you're not really following the case.

Besides I never see just L&O marathons on the way i see SVU or CI marathons. Except maybe weekends on the network?

I believe they had a CI marathon on USA the weekend before last. Last weekend, they had the "More than Partners" SVU marathon. But I don't remember the last time they had a L&O marathon.

TNT runs L & O marathons on Sunday from like 4 AM - noon sometimes. They also often have marathons on holiday weekends.

There need to be notations on the L & O Wikis for things like that - i.e. the name of the episode and character's clothing choices.
