THE FRIDAY HALL OF FAMER, 02/28/20 - LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT


So this month, February has had Detective Odain Tutuola as the TVXOHOF showcase, and Ice-T has been inducted as a member of the League of Themselves with some connection to the fact that his televersion plays Fin in the Toobworld version of ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’.

And as we’ve just started inducting the televersions of TV shows from our world, then the next logical step would be….

WELCOME!

The televersion of L&O: SVU may have certain episodes which are similar to those seen on the series from the Real World, but the casting is different.  Several fictional characters are known to have appeared on it.

Here now is the evidence in favor of the inclusion of ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ in the Television Crossover Hall of Fame…..
