I watch The First 48 a lot, and other shows that come on the CourtTV channel. What do you watch and why? Law & Order? NYPD Blue?

I know I'll be showing my age but way back the crime dramas I used to watch religiously were "Quincy" and "The Commish". Even before that I watched TV shows in the 50's, 60's and 70's too many to mention. I know I'm kind of old-fashioned but the new kind of graphics doesn't appeal to me, as I am used to ER, but Nip/Tuck I couldn't get used to. That's why nowadays, current crime dramas are really good, just not my thing.

Nip / Tuck is just wierd, and I loved The Commish! I don't like that he's a bad guy on the new show he's on. I love Matlock, and Diagnosis Murder, lol, even the old ones with Perry Mason, I started watching this stuff young I think, lol. I was addicted to ER for a while, but all the original cast is gone now. I stopped watching about five years ago.

I love "crime" dramas. I don't get CourtTV though, because we don't have cable. NYPD Blue, was one of my favorite shows of all time. I watch the CSI's, Law and Order's, and Criminal Minds now. I like the scientific way they investigate on the CSI shows. As for Law and Order, SVU is my favorite, I think I just the characters and that many times, they base the episodes on some real crime in the news. Criminal Minds is a wonderful new show, it is in it's 2nd season. They are FBI profilers...it is facinating the way they investigate and profile a suspect. Very realistic.

I've really loved crime shows since I was really young. I loved In the Heat of the Night, when I was younger. I also loved New York Undercover. Now I'm big on Law and Order (pretty much all of them, haha) and randomly I'll watch Court TV depending on how interesting whatever episode of whatever show it is. I also love the heck out of NYPD Blue.

I like to watch some of the real life drama shows like the First 48, City Confidential and that one about the medical examiner (is it Dr. G?) But I also like the TV show ones like CSI (only the Vegas one) and Law and Order SVU and now I am getting into Criminal Intent. I watch because of the characters. If the characters don't seem believable or likeable I can't watch. I always wonder what happens afterwards though, especially on Law and Order because the show always ends at the end of the court proceedings so you don't get to see the after effects. But I guess that is part of the interest of the show.
I also like Bones and Numbers which deal with the FBI solving cases. The first one uses a forensic pathologist to help them and the other uses a mathematician. I find both fascinating and it helps that the characters are written well, the shows are funny and the actors are really good looking, lol.

I like crime drams such as law & order, SVU, and Especially CSI, NCSI, I like the way the actors protray their characters. I also like to see how they solve the crimes. The science used on the programs is fascinating
