D
ue to the nature of the
television industry, fewer
and fewer shows these
days seem to be hitting
major milestones. Networks are
quick to pull the plug on and slow
to renew a series, and even fan fa-
vorites end before their time (see:
"Community," "Twin Peaks," "Ve-
ronica Mars" ... the list goes on).
Sometimes, though, a show en-
dures, and "Law & Order: Special
Victims Unit" is one such series.
Over the course of the past 18
years, "SVU" has survived cast
shakeups, showrunner changes
and time-slot shifts, and now joins
its parent series in a prestigious
group — the 400-episode club.
The 400th episode of "Law & Or-
der: Special Victims Unit" airs
Wednesday, Feb. 8, on NBC.
Four hundred episodes truly is
an incredible achievement for the
Dick Wolf-created series, which
was the original spinoff of the
equally long-running "Law & Or-
der." Premiering in 1999, "SVU"
has now become the fourth-lon-
gest-running scripted prime-time
series to air on a major broadcast
network behind "Law & Order"
(456 episodes), "Gunsmoke" (635
episodes) and "The Simpsons"
(600-plus episodes and counting),
and one woman has been there
every single step of the way.
Series star Mariska Hargitay
("ER") has been with "SVU" since
Day 1 as Olivia Benson, then a de-
tective working alongside the gruff
Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni,
"42," 2013). Both character and
actress have grown immensely
since the beginning — Benson
moved up the ranks to become a
lieutenant and the squad's official
commanding officer, and Hargitay
blossomed into not only a compel-
ling leading lady, but also an ex-
ceptional executive producer and
talented director. She directed the
milestone 400th episode, and
spoke at an event about how spe-
cial the achievement is.
"Obviously tonight's celebra-
tion brings out a whole host of
feelings for me," she said. "As we
touch down on No. 400, it's so hard
even to say out loud with a straight
face because it's such a dream. I
have so much pride and gratitude,
and I'm immensely proud of what
we have done together as a team,
as a show and as a family."
Her castmates had as much
glowing praise for her as she did
for them. "Mariska is just a really,
sincerely nice person," said Ice T
("Players"), who plays Odafin Tu-
tuola, in an interview with People
magazine. "I've been with her for a
long time and she's really a nice
person, she's very compassionate.
