Criminal Minds lost me when they started involving the main characters in the stories instead of just letting them solve crimes.

See, I actually like making the characters more human that way.

Yeah, but then it kinda became more about them than the victims of the crimes... idk, I just didn't care for that. CSI did the same thing.

I can't connect to the CSI shows. Love Criminal Minds!!! I do like Law and Order (except for the last couple of seasons.)

CSI Miami is a miracle show as they have transformed the little red headed guy somehow into a hardazz.

Talk about drama

wife watches all the killing, dismembering shows, me, not so much

I actually liked that they had different characters for each of the unit chiefs.

William Peterson's Grissom was a pure scientist.

David Caruso's Caine was a hardass cop (became even more so over time)

Gary Sinise's Taylor is a consummate good guy/hero.

Since Peterson left, the Las Vegas version has had Laurence Fishburne (enigmatic/slightly scary guy) and now Ted Danson (essentially everybody's grandfather).

And of course they all have theme songs by The Who.

Buddy of mine has a college age son who's a cross between Reid and Garcia (supernerd who remembers everything and speaks Linux better than he speaks English).
