I am a HUGE Law and Order: SVU fan and wondered any of you were?
I never thought I would be happy wit a replacement for Stabler, but Amaro did a good job (why did they get rid of him? - I know he moved to California and took early retirement).
Each week my husband and I watch and after many hours of debate we have determined that our favorite District Attorney is Barba - that guys is all suits and business - we love him!
Do you think they will bring Stabler back ever? I know they just renewed it for season 18!!

No, I stopped watching years ago. Too depressing and sickening. However, I do watch ID tv.  |

I used to watch it even up to when Amaro joined but to me he was always Scotty Valens from Cold Case and I feel like they could have just transfered the Scotty Valens character over to SVU.
I never liked that other partner of Stabler - that was a not so good time in SVU history.
I watch repeats all the time. I feel like eventually I will see the newer episodes.

I watch criminal intent repeats at 10:30 at night, but rarely SUV.

I still love SVU, even without Stabler. I get enough Stabler love from the hours of repeats I watch every week. For some reason, no matter how times I have seen an episode, I still watch whenever it's on!

SVU is my absolute favorite show!! I love Olivia!!  I also really like Barba. He's tack-sharp! No, I do not think Stabler will ever be back. Did you catch the selfie of them in NY posted maybe 2-3 weeks ago? It was cute. They (Olivia & Stabler that is) ran into one another. |

This is one of only two dramas I watch. I love the characters. Yes, DA Barbra is awesome, I have a little crush on him. Love the development of Olivia's character, and I find Carisi quite interesting. I wonder now that he's passed the bar will he leave, or will they start featuring him as an Assistant DA. Great show!

I challenge you to find a bigger svu fan than me! There were early plans to bring Stabler back for an episode, but it was scrapped. Chris Meloni is done with the show. I hate how they are forcing the alcohol problem onto Liv. Early seasons had her so aware of her mother's alcoholism, she is not the same character she once was and I would be all that sad to see her go.

I saw the up until the season where Stabler left. I started getting nightmares and I attributed it to the TV I was watching. I did like SVU a lot, though.

I love Olivia too.. we watch re-runs and new episodes as they are released. I did see that photo, it got every fan in a frenzy that he was returning.. maybe someday! I always say I would hate Barba being on any case with my name on it - he would nail the person! Jennifer |

My husband and I are the same way.. doesnt matter we JUST saw the episode, we look at each other and say "this is a good episode" and then proceed to watch. We almost named our cat Olivia or Benson but ended up naming them after a Sons of Anarchy character and the other is named after where the San Diego Chargers play (the previous Jack Murphy Stadium). |

ME! Huge fan! I love me some weekend SVU marathons. Even purchased seasons past on iTunes so I can watch in car on trips or wherever.
It seems like when I warm up to a new character, they leave. The only detective that I never liked was Dani. She was Stablers partner in Olivia's absence.

She has been through ALOT - I mean attempted rapes, undercover work, 2 partners, job stress.. seems almost inevitable that it would happen. We have noticed she is less sympathetic to the victims then she once was. |

I used to work with a woman who had twins, a boy and a girl. She wanted to name them Olivia and Elliot but her husband put his foot down and said she could only choose one detective name, so she chose to name the girl Olivia. My dog's name is Fin . |

Dani was the worst, she was only there for Mariska's maternity leave. I skip her episodes when I have my own marathons.

 This is my favorite airplane book. I learned so much random SVU trivia! |

I used to watch all the time, but then the subject matter starting getting to me, so I stopped. I can usually watch violent shows, but small children in peril really bothered me. Recently, I started watching reruns on USA Network and watched a current episode on NBC. Then I read a thread here about Charles Manson and watched an episode of SVU before bed. Big mistake--nightmare dream about Manson taking me and another woman hostage and me hitting him on the head with a vintage Coke bottle (I'm listing one this week on eBay. I love the way my mind combines everything I'm thinking about into one dream!  ) All that said, I love the show though I haven't watched regularly for years. It always seems to be well-written. And total fluff--if I could look like any celebrity, it would be Mariska Hargitay. |

My DH and I always watch it. We are starting to really like Carisi. Fin seems to be missing quite a bit lately. Wish they had more of BD Wong in the show
Amanda I could give or take - she's a hot mess.

I watch it. I really like Barba because he's different.
I liked Cabot, and then I didn't like any other ADA since her until he came along.
I can't stand Amanda.
I like Carisi, but I feel he's slowly developing into Elliot 2.0-the hot headed Catholic vigilante

I think I'm the only person on the planet who didn't like Stabler. He was a GIANT pain in the ass!
I love the original Law & Order and have 82 of the early episodes on my dvr.

I also really like Barba. He's tack-sharp!
