CSI is pretty good.  CSI:Miami and CSI:NY are fantastically unbelievable to a degree that they make the wicked stepmother's use of a magical mirror to find Snow White seem believable.  CSI itself has issues, but as far as I can tell, they are at least within throwing distance of real science.  They might compress the timeline down by a couple orders of magnitude ("Can you test this for DNA?"  "Sure, just a second...   "Looks like this matches Antonio Suspect, arrested last year for beer robbery") but it's at least close.

Im not big on regualr TV but I'd have to say CSI is the best Ive seen.

The only question I have is how many police departments really have ALL that fancy  high tech equipment.

Probably not many.  And not is timeframe shortened like Chairboy pointed out, they also have like 5 people doing the jobs of 20.

But I like the characters and the science and the interesting crimes.

My favorite police show is COPS but that's because I've been a guest star on that show, twice. The first time it was in a liquor store parking lot so my face was blurred out, although you could clearly hear me saying "Let the dude go, man, all he wants is a fuggin beer and a tube of Testor's liquid cement, you pig."

The second time I was the dude who was sitting in the back of a pickup truck,  naked, holding a goose in my lap, threatening to break its neck if the cops didn't back off. That one showed my face, but luckily it was only shown in Europe due to protests by the ASPCA.

I love Liberals.

Yup, imo best Brit cop show ever.

It's a shame John Thaw isn't with us anymore. He was good in Morse too.

How much time did you serve for 2nd degree waterfowl bestiality?  Or is that legal where you live?
