Law & Order showtimes

S

Is Law & Order ever NOT on TV?
If you combined all of its incarnations on all the various over-the-air and cable channels and listed their various air times, would it be on 24 hours a day?
Has anyone ever made a grid with all of them and their showtimes?
It reminds me of It's a Wonderful Life in the 1980s, when it was the in public domain and before NBC bought the copyright to it. It was on every night in December on a different channel!
 
The reruns for the Mother Ship began on A&E in the mid-90's, then shifted to TNT (where it is still running) exclusively in September 2002--though it had been on the network since June of '01. MyTV also started showing it within the past year.

SVU began running on USA (I believe) in 2003, and is still going, while Criminal Intent reruns have bounced around a number of networks over the years. In the Fall of 2006, USA was airing 35 episodes A WEEK for these two shows.

All told, here are the numbers (999), which means that the next original ep of SVU will be the 1,000th of the franchise:
Law & Order: 456
SVU: 313 (as of last Wednesday's episode)
Criminal Intent: 195
Trial by Jury: 13
L&O: Los Angeles: 22
 
Tough to make a grid because showtimes are not consistent - and the cable channels keep scheduling marathons. It may not be on all the time but some days it's non-stop.

Of all of NBC's dumb moves - and it's made a lot of them going back to old time radio - cancelling Law and Order is right up there.

On L&O, much of the time the detectives got the wrong guy in the first half hour. Maybe that's why the EXECUTIVE ADA takes their cases.

On SVU and CI, the perp is always guilty.

Meanwhile, L&O continues to do sex crimes and cases more major than the major case squad.

I was a huge fan of L&O but it suffered through a ton of cast changes. Toward the end the cast was nothing like the original and I, among many others, just lost interest. In addition, the stories seemed to get somewhat recycled.
