I have been watching Law and Order now for I think about six years and even though it's always playing on TV I rarely ever see repeats.  Meaning that there must be hundreds of episodes of episodes in constant circulation.  On top of that the other spin offs (SVU, CI ect..) have a bunch of episodes that generally don't show reruns also.  Which brings me to my main point, does Dick Wolf ( producer and writer of all Law and Order shows) have a life?  I can't imagine a more busy man in the world.  Just looking at his IMDB profile  blows my mind how many ORIGINAL series episodes alone he has written (over 445).
