Sources said Hargitay and Meloni, who regularly negotiate their contracts together, have inked one-year deals with an option for a second year.

Despite the conglomerates and particularly NBC Universal being in cost-cutting mode, Hargitay and Meloni are said to have boosted their most recent salaries of about $385,000 an episode. In a rare feat for show talent, they have been able to negotiate a piece of "SVU's" lucrative back end, sources said.

I used to like the show, but the characters that these two play have both become so tortured and angry that I can't watch it anymore. The same goes for Dann Florek. They all seem to hate their lives and their jobs so much that I wonder why they stick around anymore. I do like Richard Belzer (Detective Munch) though. I agree with the poster who said earlier that he needs more camera time.

Ted Danson was getting $500k per episode on Cheers. These two have kept SVU viewable.

Can I have a piece of Meloni's "lucrative back end" too, please?

Hargitay is a real class act, and a wonderful actress. She has a solid future after this show.

I swear the characters on the show have never heard the term "innocent until proven guilty."

That's because they've read the script.

Well then I should have said the "writers" because it seems everyone involved in a case is always presumed to be guilty.

Good for them.

They sure work harder than that narcissist Simon, and they deserve the money.

They give the show a perfect emotional anchor, and they're dynamite together.

Oh yay :) I love this show and their characters. Another 2 years of Chris - yummy. Saw a lot more of him on Oz ... definitely yummy ... but I like him on this show too.

Love Mariska but Richard Belzer needs more camera time.

More impressions of Ronald Reagan channeling an old J3wish dude.

I hope Meloni can afford some proper food now instead of chewing on the scenery every week. His overacting puts Sean Penn to shame.

I really hate phony TV words like "re-up."

I hate the term re-up anyway. Reminds me of my meth days(I've not always been a perfect angel) waiting for your dealer to "re-up".

They work hard and are good at what they do. And they're still not making as much as golfers.

I'm sorry buy while I completely agree that they are both good actors, after so many years their CHARACTERS are simply played out. That one season where Olivia was replaced for half a season by that other actress just blew in a breath of fresh air onto the show. I think that like with L&O proper that it's way past high time for the main leads to be permanently replaced to freshen the show up.

Yeah, I agree. They haven't jumped the shark yet, but they are circling the ramp.
