...to all three of the 'CSI' shows as well as 'Criminal Minds'.

With syndication, it seems like at least one of these four shows is always on at some point in a given day.

Can't get into any of the 'Law and Order' shows the same way. Objectively speaking, they're quality shows. I just don't enjoy them that much.

Other fans of forensic science and behavioral analysis?

I haven't watched much network TV in a few years. There are a couple shows I schedule on the DVR and watch- Shark Tank, Justified, Top Chef- while zipping through the commercials.

I watched the CSI with David Caruso a few times, but found the formula to be pretty repetitive after seeing half a dozen shows. The shows do have an impact on society in that everyone seems to believe CSI will show up and solve every crime and definitively find us the culprit. The usual American way- everything figured out and wrapped up in a nice little package, no assembly required.

Case in point was the Kasey Anthony trial. Basically the girl walked because the jury set common sense aside and waited for the undeniable evidence to show up out of the blue and convict her so they wouldn't be burdened with the decision and wouldn't have to take responsibility for the decision.

Law and Order was much the same way I guess. I never watched any of those, but someone once told me not everyone who went to trial got convicted, which may be a first in and of itself.

My wife is addicted to the ID channel, with the real-life murders and stuff. There was a "wives with knives" marathon a while back. Maybe I should be concerned...:eek:

I like the real life stuff...48 Hours, Dateline etc.

Have watched a few of those, but just not as interested as the dramatized versions, I guess.

You'd think given the formula that I'd like "The Following", but after watching the first few episodes I just couldn't get into it. No particular reason. Thought it was a well-done show but it just didn't hold my interest.

Actually CSI Miami left its fair share of cases unsolved, and probably had more examples of its characters making very human mistakes than some others.

That's actually one of the things I liked about the CSI franchise in general. Their characters were definitely flawed (Criminal Minds too) and there was plenty of "office politic" type conflict.

I don't watch much network TV either, but these shows are among my favorite.

      Malik Willis anyone

      By countryboi · Posted

      One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup.

      We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

      My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
