That's an episode that just cracked me up, and the reason that I said they don't understand electricity. Blood has plenty of ions in it to make it conductive. If it were not conductive, that would be news. Light bulb as resistance tester? Stupid, just as you called it.
In another episode, a victim is shot with a .22. The lab notices that the bullet is slightly oval, instead of round. The red headed guy quickly deduces that it was fired from a sawed-off .22, and the oval shape is because the barrel was clamped in a vise to do the cutting. Wonder how tight you'd have to crank the vise to do that? Somebody never took a look at the thickness of a .22 barrel, and doesn't know about the role of the crown.
In yet another episode, a reloader has recovered her bullets at the range, and saved them for reloading (wow). She keeps them in a container on the window sill. Along comes a hurricane, which accelerates the bullets to killing speed, and kills the reloader with her own bullets.
Yeah, the technical advise is just a trifle lacking....
