1. Not just you. Me.
I don't even know what one of those acronyms stands for.

3. TV nowadays doesn't do it for me
For the most part. I like some shows but the investigative dramas are not spared from my wrath.

6. checking in
I had to look up NCIS. I've heard some of these dramas are very good, and they probably are. I just haven't gotten involved in much television for a while now.

I did enjoy "The Sopranos" though.

9. Nope. I don't watch lawyer, cop, or medical shows
Or any shows for that matter. I don't have a TV. But even if i had a TV, I would refuse to watch those kind of shows.

10. Checking in...
I'm just not into Prime Time TV. A lot of times I have to work when those shows are on anyway. But mostly I'm just not interested in watching them to begin with.

11. nope
It's actually kind of odd because I tend to like mysteries and used to love stuff like Rockford Files and Columbo but I have absolutely no interest in those shows.

18. I've only been in the same room as a TV showing L&O (parents' house)
So is that indirect viewing? :P

Other than that, no. Never watched any of those crime procedurals, never wanted to. And it's pretty tough to avoid them, considering they've got about 12 different versions apiece.

21. I watch Law and Order from time to time and CSI (original)
In fact most of my coworkers watch CSI as well. Prolly because it at least tries to base its stories in real science. We all have a good laugh about how unrealistic the lab setting on that show is though..:)

28. I'm more amused by the lack of method validation
If I were a lawyer, I could get half of those cases thrown out easily.

"Did you check calibration?"
"Well, no."
"FUCK YOU case dismissed."

24. I used to watch 'Law & Order' quite a bit
but not as much since Jerry Orbach is no longer with us. I don't watch the various flavors of CSI, either, but the bits and pieces of CSI: Miami I've seen have been absolutely awful--David Caruso may be the worst actor working on TV right now, imo.

25. me
but I do watch the real versions of those type of shows. I just would rather see something on say Investigation Discovery because I'd rather see something that really happened than made up stuff.

26. Never. I've had bloody well enough that kind of drama, thank you.
Some of it in real life too. Any more makes me sad and disturbed.

Sure, I've seen CSI and the following Law and Orders:

SVU (Special Victims Unit)
CI (Criminal Intent)
PCAMPIEOFTD (Petty Crimes Against Municipal Property in Excess of Five Thousand Dollars)
