Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Where are my shows? Nearly every broadcast networks’ prime-time schedule has been in reruns or vanished altogether, some for the two weeks of the Olympics and others for months.
That changes this week. Most notably, Law & Order: SVU returns Wednesday with back-to-back episodes featuring the “noted thespians” Kathy Griffin (as a lesbian-rights activist) and Mischa Barton (as a prostitute). I do miss The O.C….
The folks at Denver’s gayzette alerted me to this SVU sneak peak featuring Griffin and Hargitay. Is it Wednesday?!
What’s with the “If I were you, I’d stay outside” comment at the end? Was it that icky being kissed by a girl?
Matt and I always make fun of SVU. A whole show about rape and molestation and sodomy, etc… Under the pretense of being horrified and sickened, they’re obviously pandering to our fascination with such violations. “Oh my god! The victim was raped with a toilet plunger in the ass sixteen times! What kind of a sick person would do such a thing?!” Or watch such a thing? (Heh heh)
The only ideas SVU’s writers seem to have left these days is to put Olivia or Elliot in some sort of danger, and preferably in a situation that includes serious injury or torture. Being kissed by Kathy Griffin certainly falls under the category of torture… Just saying.
