Play Along With Ice-T & ‘SVU’!

What does Law & Order: SVU have in common with game shows? More than you might think. First of all, successful game shows have historically been some of the longest-running shows in television history (the current run of Jeopardy! is now at 38 years and counting), and SVU is the longest-running primetime drama ever. But SVU star Ice-T says there’s another similarity that has actually helped the show stay on the air as long as it has — like a game show, many viewers like to play along with SVU at home, and he feels that’s been one contributing factor toward its success.
