'Law & Order: Organized Crime' Premieres Tonight On NBC

In the words of Les Mis — "THE TIME IS NOW! THE DAY, IS HERE!"

I cannot believe I am physically typing these words but Law & Order: Organized Crime is finally premiering TODAY! That's right, folks! The year-long wait to see Elliot Stabler back in the SVU-niverse is finally over!

And trust me, it's not an April Fool's joke!

When I heard the premiere date for Elliot Stabler's return to my TV screen was April 1st, I thought it was a cruel joke.

It wouldn't surprise me at this point, considering his spinoff series, Law & Order: Organized Crime has been pushed back so many times already!

However, Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay recently released a video in anticipation of the *Law & Order: SVU* crossover event with Chris' spin-off.

"I needed this," says Mariska to the camera, before Chris echoes her sentiments.

"We both needed it. And I think you needed it," she adds.

YES WE DID!

The world has been waiting for this with breath that is BAITED!

Law & Order: Organized Crime premieres on April 1 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
