Pop Culture Junkies
Sunday, December 30
Science Channel – How It’s Made – 6am – Midnight*. The making of everything from giant tires and luxury chocolate to Stetson hats and deli meats. You may want to skip eating while watching that last one.
TNT – Law & Order – 4am-2pm*. Includes episodes with guest stars Julia Roberts and in an episode “ripped from the headlines” about the Robert Blake murder trial, Gary Busey.
USA – Law & Order: SVU – 6am – Midnight*. Reportedly includes the 12th season finale, Smoked, which was the end of the line for original SVU star Christopher Meloni.
*Not sure if these times are ET or CT. I suggest checking your EPG (electronic program guide) or your on-screen program guide. This will also tell you the name of each episode so you can set your DVR to record it, just in case you want to take a nap.
