If I do watch mainstream TV, both those programs are pretty good, except the CSI Miami version. It is technically hopeless. Unless the program is really trying to be funny??? They clearly do not understand electricity, firearms, ballistics....

I have always likes Law and Order....I get some valuable info from that one......critics have been bashing C.S.I since its inception about the techs of the show...I'll watch occationally but not on regular basis, mainly because of the furor over that...

Haven't ever watched one, nor a "reality" show. Quit watching network news, too.
If it isn't on the History or Military channels, then I'll never see it - and won't miss it one iota.

I've never watched Law and Order, but my wife and I both enjoy the original CSI, but I don't care for CSI New York or Florida I think it is. I don't like the reality shows either, but I do enjoy watching American Hot Rod and American Chopper on the Discovery Channel. And I've picked up a few shop ideas from watching them. We watch the History Channel a lot also.

I kind of like CSI, but I've seen some really stupid things on it.
There was an episode about a guy who got electrocuted, and the CSI gang needed to determine if his blood was conductive. Unfortunately he had been cremated, but they had a pint of his blood (for some reason) that they could test. To test the blood for conductivity, Grissom inserted wires into the pint bag to form a circuit in series with a regular light bulb and plugged the circuit into the wall! The light bulb lit up, Grissom smiled, and I shook my head in disbelief. In case it isn't obvious, you measure conductivity/resistance with an ohm-meter. God only knows what would happen if you ran 120 Volt AC current through a pint of blood, but I bet it wouldn't be pretty. Also, you wouldn't contaminate the entire pint when only a few ml would be needed for the test. Finally, blood is always a pretty good conductor to begin with. Since that episode, my interest in the show has waned.

I used to watch Law and Order, religiously, but, like PJ, I got tired of the anti-gun comments. In spite of that, I would still watch the very first part of the show that establishes the scenario before the opening credits, just to listen to Jerry Orbach's one-liner! But no that Jery Orbach is gone, I don't watch it anymore at all. (Apologies to Dennis Farina fans, but he just don't cut it!)
Don't watch anything else but "The Appprentice", "West Wing", "24", "The Simpsons", and "Seinfeld" reruns. My wife watches "Medical Investigation", however, because she's a medical professional, and really gets into that stuff.

I watch both, I prefere the original series on both. (Law and order has about 4 spinoffs and CSI has two)
The antigun shtick does make me want to puke, but it is still better than "reality" TV. No wonder I watch more movies than anything else. GoodOlBoy

MarkL...
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....

Lilred,
Did you see they are coming out with a new 'Dukes" movie? I forgot who all the other actors are going to be, but I heard Jessica Simpson was suppose to be playing Daisy.
