Subject: Is it just me...

Or is there a preponderance of law/order/crime solving TV shows these days?

  • Law & Order (how many versions?)
  • CSI (how many versions?)
  • The FBI one with Anthony LaPaglia
  • A Navy one with Mark Harmon
  • JAG (I think, is it still on?)
  • Alias
  • Night Stalker
  • Bones
  • Close to Home
  • Medium
  • Criminal Minds
  • E-Ring
  • Killer Instinct

Seems like ALOT, and I'm just judging from all the commercials for these shows. What gives?

Isn't there also one where they look for missing people?

I wish that when I get stuck talking to someone and I want to leave I could just make that Law & Order "dun-dun" sound and walk away.

Geez, I guess it's been a while since I quit TV altogether. I only recognize four of the shows on that list.

Anthony Lapaglia is in Whithout a Trace and that's the one where they look for missing persons. I really dig all of it, it makes me feel like I might be learning something even if I'm not. Plus, I gotta pass the time when I can't ride, run or swim!

Yea, too many. Which is the one with the medical examiner (coroner)?

I had to suggest to my wife she pick one or two to watch because I was feeling saturated with 5-nights-a-week crime/law stories (even if I were doing something else). Sort of a mental health issue.

It's part of Hollywood's permanent case of  lemming syndrome.

I think the remaining shows are hospital dramas/comedies.

Crossing Jordan

There are 3 Law and Order (L&O, Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent) and 3 CSI (the original in Las Vegas, Miami and NY) - the 4th L&O got cancelled.

Grad school is taking away all my TV-watching time.....the only new one I'm paying any attention to is Bones and that's because I have a thing for David Boreanez (sp) from Buffy...

Not enough time to work, train, *and* watch TV.  I've never seen most of these shows. 

I will admit that I saw every single FireFly and Battlestar Galactica though.

yuck!  it's all corporate business..  they find a business model that works well and they stick with it until we are sick of it..  right now it seems to be the crime dramas where a lot of the central charachters are drop dead gorgeous girls in skin tight clothing who run around at crime sceens in 4" heels and white pants suits..  yeah.. i know that MY wordrobe of choice if i'm going to be digging around in the mud looking for stuff.. 



Oh, you mean like Charlie's Angels?

My husband and I were just complaining about tat this weekend. We don't have cable so we don't have many other choices either. I like some of the shows, but enough is enough.

There are a few good new ones though - Earl and The Office are pretty funny.

I do have to say I love my Tivo.  This is typical TV the crime drama will die out over the next couple of season's and a different one will become king like medical, spy, military, comedy, western, etc, and spawn a ton of copy cat programs.

Another odd thing this year, there are a lot of alien invasion shows popping up: Threshold, Surface, Invasion. 

Maybe the government is trying to tell us something?  We're being invaded!  Quick run for cover!
