Whenever a television series passes that fifth season threshold, it becomes vital for producers to keep things fresh without veering away from what viewers love about this particular show. This is especially true for law enforcement procedurals. You think there are only so many ways people can be killed, and a finite number of methods to solve said murders? Think again. And if you're a writer on one of these shows, you better think extra hard.
Over the 34-and-counting years of its existence, the "Law & Order" franchise (read our season ranking here) has addressed this issue by building episodes around actual, ripped-from-the-headlines crimes.

The initial hook was the sparkling chemistry between Emily Deschanel's brilliant Temperance "Bones" Brennan and David Boreanaz's smart-aleck FBI Agent Seeley Booth, but, as the series progressed, fans came to care just as much for the quirky crew that helped Bones and Booth catch all kinds of creepy killers once a week. So when they found themselves up against a formidably devious foe, the show's fans legitimately feared for their safety. And creator Hart Hanson and his crack team of writers capably played on these fears, going so far as to knock off John Francis Daley's lovable FBI psychologist Lance Sweets at the outset of season 10.
