what's offensive about it?


also, House is pretty awesome, and I've only seen 1 or 2 episodes
 
i agree. just cant get into 'csi'. same for 'l&o: ci'. but if 'l&o: svu' or if the original is on, im watching it. an interesting fact on 'svu' also:
According to an article in TV Guide magazine, cast members are often approached by sexual abuse survivors who thank them for portraying these types of stories on the air correctly.

Offensive to who? The people from HBO's "Oz" that didn't get a part in the series? :laugh:

She was hot. The new chick is pretty hot too, but Elisabeth Rohm... mmm 🙂

Anywho, L&O is awesome. The new versions don't do it for me, and CSI is entertaining in the same sort of way that a clown is entertaining. You don't listen to it seriously, but it's good for a laugh now and then... especially if the clown has a huge gap between its two front teeth. The science in it is BS though.

I also like Crossing Jordan...
 
The original Law & Order show died when Lenny did, I had to stop watching it. I do like SVU, and CI though.

My favorite part of CSI is when a character will mention that a test is needed to a lab rat, then explain to the lab rat what the test is for/does. That and when the CSI people interview the suspects, which is nice, because we all know that Vegas can't afford to hire detectives.
 
CSI Miami is starting to grow on me more and more. I've always liked it but I prefered the regular CSI. I also watch CSI NY. I was L&O SVU as well, and really like that show.

Basically to sum it up, I watch too much damn tv!
 
L&O is the only drama I watch. I tried CSI, but the overacting was ridiculous. I just couldn't take it.

The only thing I wish they would change about L&O is a few more "not guilty" verdicts.

Did you see that episode than simply ended right before the verdict was read? LOL, I thought is was awsome, if only because of the look on my wife's face! :laugh:

'cept he wasn't in the original eps 🙂

But yeah, He was great. Although I really like Fontana as a replacement.

It's kinda funny cause it seemed like the old L&O eps focused mainly on black/white issues or organized crime with a few miscellaneous eps here and there. The new ones seem to involve a lot of spoiled rich kids etc.

lol I would throw my remote at the tv if I saw that. I hate it when theres not enough closure.

L&O (minus CI) rules.


 
I've only seen SVU of the L&O variety (I watch it with my wife every week) - meh. CSI used to be a lot better than it is now...we watch all three of them. Those are the only 4 shows we watch.
 
Yeah, L&O is far and away a better show than CSI. CSI is about as good as L&O: CI

L&O shows in order of awesomeness:
1. L&O w/ Brisco
2. SVU w/ Ice-T
3. L&O before Brisco
4. SVU before Ice-T
5. L&O after Brisco
6. Criminal Intent

That blew my mind. Was that ever revealed during the season(s)?

In anycase, I like both originals and some of the spin-offs (SVU and Miami in particular) but I don't care much for the others.

Law & Order contains tons of evidentiary, trial, and cirminal procedure errors in every show, but it's still great drama. I cannot stop watching it, and I think your rankings are dead on. Criminal Intent though is unwatchable. Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the most annoying actors I have ever seen. His tics are a terrible excuse for real acting. As bad as he is, L&O:CI is still 100x better than CSI which is some of the worst TV in history. All style and no substance, It is simpledminded and boring as sin. I cannot fathom what kind of intellectual midget thinks there's anything smart about that show.
 
I used to watch L&O all the time, multiple times a day. But it got real old, real fast. I much prefer CSI because it deals with more technology and cool stuff. Not just looking for a murderer but using computers and neat stuff to find them.

But I do prefer the original CSI over the other 2...
 
I watched CSI for the first time a few weeks ago....i thought the show was gonna get really technical...I was wrong....🙁 Maybe it's good for a general audience, but I hate that they only goes as far as to say something like "This battery will only last for 4 more hours....maybe not even".....or "His DNA mtached perfectly"....I wish they just went into more scientific detail.
