Well, that's a relief. After months of speculation that NBC would be bringing Law & Order: SVU back for the 11th season without the two stars that have anchored the show, there's good news. Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have re-signed with SVU. They pair agreed to stick with NBC's top-rated Neilsen drama for two more seasons. Good news is probably an understatement. It's really great news because with SVU moving to Wednesday, 9 p.m., the show really didn't need to shake up the cast at this point in time. Stability mattered and NBC found a way to bring the two stars into the fold, offering them both the flexibility they sought.
According to an article in Variety, 
Neilsen Media Research is finally going to answer that
question, now that it has decided to include college students in its ratings research. Starting next year, it will
include dorm-bound and apartment-dwelling college students in its national sample of viewers. This could increase the
coveted 18-24 viewership numbers from 3 to 12 percent. Neilsen estimates that college students who don't live at home
with mom and dad watch 24 hours of television each week.
