The 1st series started out on September 1999. This television series was the first spin-off on the outstanding crime drama, Law & Order produced by Dick Wolf.
This specific Law & Order SVU television series is very different in comparison to the others. The reason behind this is it was the only one that touches the detectives' personal lives. This spin-off doesn't always provide its viewers to the trial period and sentence however it does bring the subject home since this series' detectives primarily concentrated on sexually based offenses.
Investigator Stabler played by Christopher Meloni would be the head of the detective team. And he always got the habit with letting his personal problems get in the way of his work. Good thing his partner, Detective Olivia Benson played by Mariska Hargitay steps in the way to get things right. The sole reason why Detective Benson needed to be a part of the team was her history of child rape.

Christopher's retirement comes after his co-star Mariska Hargitay announced that she would be reducing her airtime on law and order SVU episodes likewise.
Ice-T, who's appeared alongside Meloni in Law and Order: SVU for almost all that period said that he is very surprised at news reports of Christopher's departure from the TV program. Ice-T suggested that the actor's decision to leave could have been affected by his income expectation into the long run. "We all negotiate separately... at the end of the day you still have to sit down with the execs and hammer it out." He then continued to tell - "I guess with Chris, it didn't go his way. I'm sad though. Me and Chris have been together a long time."
In contrast, Meloni basically said in which it was time for another chapter. Therefore it now seems that way certainly. After weeks of negotiations, Chris Meloni is actually officially becoming a member of True Blood as a series regular in Season five. Exec. producer Alan Ball lately mentioned that the former law and order SVU episodes front side man will play, "A medieval, powerful vampire that secures the destiny of Eric and Bill in his hands."
