Still Worth Watching But Formula Tedious and Stale

"We are all familiar with the Law & Order SUV formula. It has been rigid from day one. We start with the sex crime being committed, then with the detectives working on it, to its being kicked over to the prosecutor for trial. This is often the show's strength but also its weakness. We know the formula so well that we're getting inured to it. I can consult my watch to see exactly where we should be in each show. I don't think there is much that can be done about this. Every show has a finite life span and the most any seem to eke out is ten or eleven seasons. And those are the very best shows ever! So I suspect that we are nearing the end with this series. I still enjoy the detectives and their cases and I think the actors do a fine job. I would not replace anyone who is on the show. However, week after week with the same formula cannot help but get a bit tedious after ten years, especially with so many fresh and new series coming to the fore which are less formulaic. I'm still watching but I'm also a little less enthusiastic each and every time I tune in. Probably this tenth series was every bit as good as the prior nine but its rigid formula over all that time is tiresome."
Gets better with age!

"As a Law & Order;SVU fan, I bought the 10th season with high expectations. I wasn't disappointed.
Compared with earlier shows, this one amps up the drama with computer generated effects, and glams up Mariska H.s character, something all fans will enjoy.
Once more, Amazon delivered set @ no charge, in perfect condition, and in timely fashion.
I like receiving DVDs in my mail box, altho' UPS is fine. My UPS driver won't leave packages unless I am home to sign :)."
Love SVU

"What can I say. This show is still good to watch after ten seasons. It is still one of the best shows on TV today and will continue to watch it. This is a good season for those fans of SVU. Loved the last episode. Go get this dvd if you are a fan, you won't be disappointed."
