...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.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
