Very Sad To Me...Special Victims Unit...
This used to be a top show to me, but the last two years have blown. It doesn't even manage to hold my attention anymore. I just watched it tonight and can't even remember what it was about. I guess it's time to switch over to something else, so sad for me.

Yes, so sad for you. I'm not having that problem with SVU, though I wish they would've given Munch and Fin some of Mariska's time.
However, my Law & Order: CI viewing time has been drastically cut in half. If D'Onofrio isn't on, i'm not watching. I only tolerated Noth because of Annabella. And based on the last D'Onofrio episode, i'm afraid they're setting the stage for his departure.
So sad for me.

But why do you say you suspect D'Onofrio is leaving? What did I miss?

THEN...there was Goren's erratic (well, more than usual) behaviour during the episode - "cleaning" his desk, shouting they could fire him if they want as he storms out and his seeming alienation of Eames during the episode. I don't know. I hope i'm reading into it and I know he doesn't have that many fans here, but i'm one of them..

As SVU has gotten more personal, my interest has waned. I still watch but I kind of feel the same way at the OP - I have about 3 eps sitting in my DVR now.
However, I think the flagship Law & Order has been really strong this season - its best season in years - going back to Angie Harmon's first couple years). Very good stories and very good (real world) legal twists and turns. Maybe the move to Friday gave the writers a kick in the ass.

Speaking of CI, has anyone noticed that the beginning of the episodes are more straight forward than past seasons. It's more linear than the disjointed scenes they used to edit together. I liked it better when they didn't make sense and you had to actually pay attention to what is happening.
As for SVU, it's still my favorite of the three series.

Yeah, this has been a great season so far.

I have been calling for more Munch and Finn for years. I think this is one reason the series has slipped, too much concentration on Meloni and Mariska, I have gotten to the point that I really do not care what happens to either of them.

He was prolly taping a ep of Rap School (which is a laugh a minute).

Hats off to the makeup people on the show too for making Connie Nielsen look hideous for the past 6 episodes. Why do gorgeous women insist on grunging it up to be taken seriously. Take a tip from Mariska Connie! You don't have to look like a bag lady in drag for us to get that you're serious about your character, jeesh!
As for Olivia and Elliot, I really don't know what else they can do with that relationship other than have them fall in love. We have gone everywhere else with them except there at this point. I think they should have done a few more episodes of Olivia's adventures with the FBI and Vincent Spano. She should get laid sometimes too! Does working on SVU cases make these characters into eunuchs or something?

Anyways, I too think they're getting ready for D'Onofrio's departure. The whole thing is set up for some tragic ending...
BTW, was this two weeks in a row for Noth/whats-her-name or did I miss D'Onofrio's ep last week?

No, it was 2 Noth episodes back to back. I loved this week's, though, when he got handed the baby. The look on his face was priceless.
