Thread: Crime shows on TV!!!!!

- Walker: Texas Ranger
- In the Heat of the Night
- CSI
- Forensic Files
- History's Crimes and Trials
- Perfect Crimes
- COPS

And to answer your question:

COPS is staged in away (they always have more officers off camera, no way they can get backup in seconds like that) and they also never film with agencies with less then 1,000 officers so its not an accurate view of police work. It also leaves out the hours of paperwork they have to do for an arrest.

I have heard mixed reviews on CSI and if it helps criminals or not. Most US law enforcement agencies lack a CSI type division. Ill try and find an article I read about this.

I HATE Law and Order. Just HATE it.


I love Monk though. I can't wait for the new season to start.

The list just goes on. Are crime shows popular in your countries television?

My pesonal belief is that these shows shouldn't be on television:
a/ they pollute our minds
b/ show ways to outsmart the police and get away with crimes.

Its the same in India and the Middle east as well, thanks to Rupert Murdoch.
But some of these shows also depict the law enforcement in a good light, that they will catch the bad guys at any cost. So its alright.

I guess its a break from Hollywood which portrays cops as evil, racist, corrupt criminals.

I am actually a really big fan of Hollywood, I don't know why people criticize hollywood so much. Some of the stuff they make shows the effort involved.

i dont know this post i am writing belongs to which part, so i just write it here which i think something with" crime", i just finished the french movie " OZEANE "(ocean), and i could not keep cool!!! why the hunman beings are so evil why people eat shark fin ???, only there are markets, there will be the brutal,merciless behavior. if cut ur hand and foot and throw you into the ocean, what do you think ??

Because you just paid to go watch that movie and someone got rich for making that movie.

I've heard many people talking about crime, confusing the fictional crime shows, and the 'true" crime shows that rerun the same episode over and over, - with actual crime. They know it happens all the time, because they've seen it on TV, remembering how many times they saw it - but forgetting they were watching reruns or fiction.

well, sir, i have to say i dont think it is about "yin" and "yang", it's not this " balance" we are talking about, the " balance" i mean is that the huge socienty and the necessary profit, kind of basic survive and the " crime" behavior. these phenomena have to exsit in a way.

These kinds of shows really interesting to watch,lots of suspense occurred time to time.
Dexter,homeland and batman mine favorite.
