I am not pleased. This is not good. Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are to SVU as one's nose and mouth are to one's face. Bad. Bad. Bad. Most displeased.

This show will only one season without Benson and Stabler. It will be cancelled like the original Law and Order because you can't take away the main characters that ppl have developed an affinity for an replace them with unknowns; even if the new actors are good it won't be the same and the show will inevitably tank. Sorry SVU but that's reality.

The show has run long enough. They should do away with it all together, especially with Meloni and Hargitay leaving the cast. They are allowed to pursue new projects and we will eventually move on to new shows. It isn't the end of the world people!! :-)

Stabler and Olivia leave, you lose a long time fan, how said. These two have made this show and HIT and have made the producers lots of money!!! Guess I will be watching the marathon repeats on USA, NBC I won't be watching

Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are NY SVU... Mr. Wolf pay them what they deserve or this show will suffer greatly!

If Stabler and Benson will not be together then you will have no L&O SVU, you might have the show with new actors but they will not be Stabler and Benson,nor will they have the chemistry that Eliot & Olivia have together. I dont think the show will last without Stabler and Benson
I will not watch Law & Order-SVU without Benson & Stabler. You people are IDIOTS!

Rather than ruin a fantastic series, why don't they film a 2 episode series finale to tie up loose ends, pay Mariska for the remaining 11 she is contracted for and end it the way a series should end -- as good at the end as it has been since the beginning.

It took me a long time for me to watch this show. Now, you say that Meloni, a great actor even before this show, is leaving and the ghost whisperer is coming aboard. I say, see you later as I won't be able to watch this show again.

Here we go again just like ER and a few other excellent shows the key players are being replaced. Once they do that the show is ruined. Oh well another night free

Well, that is it, Stabler and Benson are why I watch SVU, without them there is no reason to watch. Wonder how long it will take for the show to tank? Not long I imagine. There IS no replacement for Benson and Stabler!!!
i am a loyal fan of svu and watch the reruns every time they are on. taking christopher meloni off the show is a bad idea. benson and stabler are the main characters on the show and they make it great you just cant replace excellent actors with some one else. no one can play stabler as well as christopher and the same for benson. i will not watch svu with out christopher meloni or mariska hargitay.

If the reason Chris Meloni is leaving is because they won't pay him what he is worth..they are idiots! Chris is an excellent actor and the real 'star' of SVU. He deserves to be compensated for his contribution to making SVU a successful & lucrative show. I still watched when Mariska Hagarty was absent and didn't really miss her. Her acting is actually very ordinary and I'm sure it helps that she is the daughter of movie icon Jayne Mansfield. She could be replaced without much of a problem, but Chris...never. Pay the guy and let the viewers enjoy a quality program..not some
cheezy knock-off!

Hate to hear it. Probably won't continue to watch. I hated when Mariska was on maternity leave. It just won't be the same. Thank God for Netflix and USA Network!!
This is horse crud!!!! Why can't they make these actors negotiations satisfying??? I mean after 12 years, they can't make them happy??? I love this show and have been watching since the beginning. Will not be the same.

I guess I will need to find a new show to watch, L&O SVU will never be the same with out Stabler and Benson together. I hate watching the episodes where Benson was gone. This sucks, I have all the episodes on DVD. Guess I get to save my money now.

I have watched L&O:SVU from the beginning. Can't believe they would even try to let Meloni & Mariska out. Since NBC got rid of L&O:CI I have to watch that on USA. Then CI introduced two new detectives besides Goren & Eames I never watched. So happy that Goren & Eames are back. They make the show. Why do they feel the need to mess with our shows? Haven't they figured out that you don't fix what ain't broken and L&O:SVU ain't broke so leave it alone. If you do have to replace Meloni I would like to see Benjamin Pratt comeback.

so sorry to hear this news. Another show down the drain because of contracts. I do not think it will be as good as this great chemistry they have shared. I will miss you Stabler

If both Meloni and Hargitay leave the show, I will not watch it again. It seems like a slap in the face for Charlie Sheen to take up such a dramatic role when he was kicked off of Two and a half Men. And Jennifer Love Hewitt can never fill the void that Hargitay will leave. You might as well just cancel the show because this change is not a good one!!

I agree. I've seen every last show & it will not be the same without Olivia & Eliot. I will not watch it, nor will anyone I know! They should just end the show on a high note.

I think all the major non-cable networks are going through a major overhall and boy, we fans are reacting. ABC axed like 7 shows including a favorite, Brothers & Sisters. They'd rather have shows like the Bachelor and Bachelorette. What a waste. Take a look at a their new lineup. Bring back Charlies Angels?? The only stations I will be watching this summer and next fall will be USA, TNT, FX, Style, Bravo, OWN, etc... Good thing I love to read. T.V. is going to suck and they will lose sponsors.

I have followed this show from the beginning & love it,,,don't know if I'll even bother to check it out when he and then she leave,,Why do networks try to fix things that aren't broken?
