One of my favorite television shows is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit on NBC. It airs at 10:00 on Tuesday nights and stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni. Currently in its eighth season, SVU is one of NBC’s top rated shows and the highest-rated Law and Order franchise.
The show deals primarily with sexual assault, children or the elderly and breaks from the previous Law and Order tradition of focusing mainly on casework; in SVU the show follows the two main characters, Detectives Benson and Stabler and their story as well as the crimes they investigate.
SVU’s ratings for the week of April 2nd were 11/16, which means 11% of Nielson households (10,138,400) and 16% of all televisions in use had tuned in. Among adults 18-49, the show’s rating is 3.9/11. These ratings seem comparable to some of the others I’ve seen and given the genre, I feel that a Tuesday night slot is fine for the show.
