Like one of Dick Wolf’s ripped from the hemline farts, Law & Order: SVU is going to blow the doors of the Sandusky scandal WIDE OPEN. They’re bringing out the Pepe Silvia board. Mariska Hargitay will sternly tell someone to “do the RIGHT. THING.” Even Ice-T’s going to showcase his finest expository examples (“So, wait, what you’re sayin’ is that this Penn State Nittany Lion was…lying to us?” (H/T John Mulaney)
It’s going to be great.
Without a doubt, the Sandusky Scandal has entered the nation’s pop culture. From Halloween costumes to South Park, the child predator has inspired numerous people to use him and Penn State university for material. Next week, over Thanksgiving break, you might be able to share the pop scene with your family. [Ed note: WUT?] At the end of [Wednesday]’s Law & Order: SVU episode, viewers connected the preview for next week’s airing with the scandal around Penn State. (Via)
I’ve always wondered if there are SVU fans who aren’t familiar with the major headlines the show is tackling. “Woah, woah, woah, you’re telling me,” says 64-year-old Bethinda Oldlady, “that there’s a football coach out there named Barry Sandhusky who had relations with a whole bunch of underage boys. I don’t believe it. Shame on you, SVU. Now momma’s gonna have to watch her stories elsewhere. Let’s see what’s happening on CSI. ‘A woman’s unlikely suicide is tied to a bank robbery and a hypnotist.’ Now that’s more like it.”

“Next motherfucker to touch a kid is getting shot.”- Ice-T’s reaction
I literally did a spit take when I read “Pepe Silvia board.”
“I’ve never heard of, of rape and a man.” -Cragen
Is that Charles fucking Grodin?
It is Grodin. Love Grodin. He brings out the curmudgeon in me!
Ateleast we already know the details of this case… Unlike the time they tried to do the whole Chandra Levy thing and indirectly called Gary Conduit’s wife the killer.
Well, it’s fun to be snarky but ep isn’t inspired by Sandusky story. We “blew the lid” off of that story two months before Sandusky scandal broke last year (Personal Fouls – it won several awards). If you don’t really know what you’re writing about, try not writing about it.
As for this ep, with Grodin, Elliot Gould, and Buck Henry – it’s set at an elite NYC High School – a little research would tell you more. By the way, it’s a terrific episode.
I love this comment. It has all the markings of a self-involved taint-licker. Taking credit for something you didn’t do (I doubt L&O: SVU “blew the lid” off of the Sandusky scandal)? Check. Getting offended that a story implies you used a famous scandal for fodder for your shitty show even though just about every ad ever for every Law & Order episode says the story line was “ripped from the headlines”? Check. Implying the author didn’t know what he was writing about even though the source material referenced is what he based the story on. Check. I also enjoyed how you said ‘Personal Fouls’ won “several awards.” That statement might hold more weight if the were meaningful awards. I doubt Hollywood holds their breath for the outcome of the the ‘Sentinel for Health Awards’. But my most favoritest thing about this post: “By the way, it’s a terrific episode.” Sure it is, chief.
Oooh! I pissy message from the actual showrunner of SVU, congrats Josh! Uproxx better get you a cupcake, or at least a smelly fruit sticker! Don’t go with banana
