Scene of the Crime
Tatort is a populous German/Austrian/Swiss, crime video set set in sections of these countries. The series is aired on ARD'S stations in Switzerland in Germany, ORF 2 in SF-1 and Austria. The first episode was aired on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence to this particular series has stayed the same all through the years, which remains extremely strange for such long-running tv-series up to date.
Every one of those television stations which form ARD, and ORF and SF, produces a unique episodes, starring its police inspector, some of which, like the Schimanski that is stopped, are cultural icons.
The series appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 pm and now about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes as a whole are produced.
Tatort is currently being aired in the USA under the title Scene of the Crime on the MHz World-view channel.
