Production Blog was updated Feb. 3rd, 2009 blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/February 03, 05:45 PM Neal approvedHey everyone, Tonight's episode, "Snatched," has excellent guest stars. Ron Eldard and Dabney Coleman are just great. It was really fun meeting Burt Young too. Most people will recognize Burt as "Paulie" from the Rocky movies. Here's something cool about tonight's episode. The script called for a few mug shots of Dabney's character "Frank Hagar" from the last 30+ years. Sometimes the actors themselves find some old pictures of themselves that work and we just turn them into mug shots. However, this time Dabney didn't have anything we could use. So our graphics department (Dylan and Dan) took photos that were taken of Dabney during prep and de-aged them. Dabney's 77 years old in real life. Check out how young we made him look in some of them: Go to blog to see a few picsFew Questions answered: Emily asked "Why do you tape the rugs down?" She is referring to the picture of Stephanie on set from my previous post. We tape them down for a few reasons. 1) So the actors don't trip. They have stage directions and lines to know, the last thing we need is for them to have to worry about tripping. 2) We tape them so they don't slide or move during the scene. Lastly and most importantly, 3) SOUND. Those high heels make a lot of noise when actresses walk around. The rugs eliminate that sound. Katt asked: "Now that Cabot is back; is Greylek not the ADA anymore?" Cabot is back but Greylek is still here as well. Stay tuned on 3/10 to find out. KT asked: "How many episodes are left to air this season?" Including tonight's episode we have 10 more. There are some big guest stars coming to SVU down the stretch so keep watching. Seems there is some confusion with our airdates in general so let me lay them out for you (and of course these can change per NBC): SVU has new episodes tonight and next week (2/10) followed by a break. We'll be back on 3/10 with new episodes for four weeks. We'll have a small break again, and then our last four episodes begin airing on 4/28. Hopefully that's not too confusing.

Production Blog was updated March 3rd. I think an error was made in the posting date. The Blog states that "Transitions" aired yesterday (March 2nd) and we know it aired Feb. 17th. I also wonder why they are moving the May 12th episode to June 2nd. The finale was supposed to be May 19th. blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/March 03, 12:44 PM Carol Burnett Hi Everyone! So I'm sure most of you noticed last week (2/10) we did not air a new episode. As I mentioned in the last post, NBC controls our airdates and even though we were scheduled to air an episode last week, we were preempted for a Dateline Special. "Transitions" aired last night instead. One other change: we will not have a new episode airing on 5/12. Instead we will air it on 6/2. Here's something to get you excited for upcoming episodes -- a behind the scenes photo during the filming of "Ballerina," scheduled to air on March 17th. So this is a shot of our Director Peter Leto watching a live feed of what we are filming in the near by Interview Room (look at the upper left corner of the photo). Peter Leto is at what we call "Video Village" (which I described in a earlier post: blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/confession_behind_the_scenes_p/#comments ). Video Village is set up in the Squadroom (can you tell?). Why are there two monitors with the same image? Sometimes we use two cameras at the same time to film., so we have the separate images up on the two different monitors. However, when we are only using one camera (as we are here) we just put the same footage up on both monitors so it's easier to see for the crewmembers near video village. Cool fact about the Video Village: it was invented by Jerry Lewis… Last, but absolutely not least thing about this photo….that's CAROL BURNETT we are filming!!! Stay tuned on 3/17 to see her episode! Go to blog to view photo

Production Blog was updated 3/11/09 blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/March 11, 01:15 PM Hi EveryoneSeems there is a lot of chatter about a few things. Let me hit them quick: 1) Mariska is recuperating well and will back with us very soon. I’ll be sure to relay all the kind thoughts and prayers going out to her on this blog. 2) We have great ideas and many storylines in development that will go into what hopes to be a season 11, including ideas for Stabler and Benson. 3) Is Benson gay? What do you think!? Answers to some more direct questions: On March 8th Arabesque asked: In the older seasons of SVU, you used to use set dressings to establish a general time frame (i.e. a skeleton hanging on the wall around Halloween, Easter basket on the edge of the desk, etc.). Is there a reason we don't get to see that anymore? We don’t necessarily air our episode in the direct order that we film them anymore. So even though we may be filming a show during say Halloween, it may not air until January. On March 4th Nat asked for me to clarify the switch in airing order regarding the 5/12 episode. There will just not be an episode on 5/12 and all the rest would be pushed back? So what would have been the 5/12 episode will air on 5/19, and the finale will be on 6/2. So last night Stephanie March came back. NEXT WEEK: Carol Burnett and Matthew Lillard (Shaggy from Scooby Doo)…

Thank you rammy 2) We have great ideas and many storylines in development that will go into what hopes to be a season 11, including ideas for Stabler and Benson. That is hopeful glimmer light news; it still can go either way for both actors to leave the show. Those plans can very well be "plan B" and also to protect the finale's episode that should be very surprising and shocking value to get people to watch of who stays and who goes sigh... really? Hook her up with Dean Porter. I'll be happy.

My heart screams YES!!! But my logic is shaking it's ugly head NO!! But a girl can dream! I'm not sure if Olivia's gay, but if it does come out that she is, I wouldn't be surprised or shocked by it.

Production Blog updated 3/17/09. blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/carol_burnett_is_on_tonight/Here’s some behind the scene footage to check out tonight: Notice how the windows shattered a second or two, too late? Well, that’s why we always have doubles. Lets do it again!: As you can see we dropped a dummy on the car and then through special effects we blow out the windows. The question is, who got killed??? Click on the link to watch the two vids.

Production Blog was updated March 30th. It's about tomorrow's episode HELL. There are 2 Behind the Scenes pics of the filming at the UN. blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/March 30, 01:00 PM Hi Everyone.Glad you enjoyed the behind the scenes video. I’ll work on getting you more. Tuesday’s episode “Hell” is a ground-breaking show for television. “Hell” is the first television show to shoot at the United Nations in New York City...EVER. It’s an amazing place and we couldn’t be more thankful for the U.N..’s support in helping us tell a story that highlights such an enormous problem throughout the world. Here are few shots from our day at the U.N.: Inside the lobby. (Where we shot people aren’t even allowed to go!) Outside, toward the street. (The famous U.N. flagpoles.) On 3/20 Nat asked if Amanda Green was going to write another episode. Tonight’s episode is an Amanda script! Check out “Hell” tomorrow night!!!
