Tatort is a populous German/Austrian/Swiss, crime video set set in various elements of these countries. The series is aired on ARD'S stations in Germany, ORF two in SF-1 and also Austria at Switzerland. The first episode was aired on November 29, 1970. The sequence to the show has stayed the same throughout the years, which remains extremely strange for any such long-running tv-series current. Each of the regional TV stations which form ARD, also ORF along with SF, produces its episodes, starring its own police inspector, some which, such as the Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The series appears on DasErste and ORF two on Saturdays at 8:15 p.m. and now about 30 episodes have been made annually. As of March 2013, 865 episodes as a whole are produced. Tatort is currently being aired under the title Scene of the Crime on the MHz World View station in the United States.
