Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 1)
''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'', an American police procedural television series, premiered on September 20, 1999 on NBC. Created by Dick Wolf, it is the first spin-off of ''Law & Order'' and follows the detectives of a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department's Special Victims Unit, which investigates sexually based offenses. ''SVU'' originally aired on Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. EST, but it was moved to Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. after the ninth episode. Showrunner Robert Palm felt too disturbed by the subject matter and left after the season's conclusion.〔Green and Dawn (2009), p. 23〕
==Production==
Inspiration for the series came from a 1986 murder in central park committed by Robert Emmet Chambers whose strategy in court was to sexualize the victim.〔Green and Dawn (2009), p. 2〕 The season one episode of ''Law & Order'', "Kiss the Girls and Make them Die" is based on this case. Dick Wolf wanted to continue exploring similar themes in a dedicated legal drama and hired Ted Kotcheff and Robert Palm as executive producers of the new series, as well as Jean de Segonzac, the franchise director for ''Law & Order''. Robert Palm was previously an executive producer on ''Law & Order'' and was the first person to use the term "mothership" to distinguish the original from its spin-offs.〔Green and Dawn (2009), p. 5〕 This phrase has become popular with fans of the franchise.
Unlike the original ''Law & Order'', filming for ''SVU'' began in North Bergen, New Jersey since there was not enough real-estate available to get a studio in Manhattan. The production staff were still told to think of the area as being Manhattan.〔Green and Dawn (2009), p. 13〕 As with ''Law & Order'', writers for the series primarily worked in Los Angeles. However, ''SVU'' featured more female writers with the series aiming to bring a "strong woman's perspective" to the screen.〔 Writer Dawn DeNoon has mentioned that many of the writing staff were fired during the first season because their scripts were not up to par.〔
For the lead roles, Christopher Meloni was cast as Detective Elliot Stabler and Mariska Hargitay was cast as Detective Olivia Benson after they auditioned together.〔Green and Dawn (2009), p. 11〕 Hargitay, who had to move from Los Angeles to New York when she got the role, said she was able to do this on short notice because she was already planning on moving to New York to pursue a Broadway career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mariska Hargitay Interview )〕 The squad commander role was filled by Dann Florek, who had portrayed Captain Don Cragen for the first three seasons on the original ''Law & Order'' and later reprised his role in ''Exiled: A Law & Order Movie''. He joined the cast on the condition that he not be asked to audition.〔 Richard Belzer was cast as Detective John Munch, continuing his role from the series ''Homicide: Life on the Street''. In Belzer's words, he was cast because "Dick Wolf and Tom Fontana got drunk at a party". Halfway through the season, Richard Belzer reprised his role of Munch in ''Homicide: The Movie,'' which briefly shows his character out on a case in his ''SVU'' context in New York. At Belzer's insistence, his character was partnered with Brian Cassidy, who was portrayed by Dean Winters. However, Winters' contractual obligation to the HBO series ''Oz'' forced him to leave halfway through the season. Michelle Hurd, who portrayed Detective Monique Jeffries, filled Winters' void for the remainder of the season, and was at that point added to the main credits.
