The cable series "the new detectives" is a good show for those interested in forensics. I think jerry bruckheimer must have seen it and thought it would be a good series to copy and make a bad cop show out of it.
CSI is just awful, though. Bad science, bad acting, bad writing = hit show for CBS.
yup - never could see why folks watch 'em - but then there are a lot of shows you think would be gone after the secong episode...and they are still around years later.
Guess if the ads work, the shows stay on.
