Police Dramas
#1
I enjoy watching police dramas. Law & Order, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds. Lately my favorite is CSI Miami. I find the forensics fascinating. These shows make me wonder if we are creating better criminals. You can learn how to cover your tracks for just about anything. Although having the show be as realistic as possible makes for an interesting show. Are they giving away all the investigative techniques detectives and CSI professionals use?

I am interested in hearing SC's opinion.

It would be nice to solve a homicide in an hour. Most of the shows are so dramatic and lack a lot of what goes into working a crime. Even the so called reality ones.

As for creating better criminals; have faith. Our jails are overcrowded as it is. Maybe these shows could make better juror instead.

In order to create a better criminal that would mean that the existing ones are capable of learning, litterate and are at home watching. Judging from the newspapers, police documentaries and the like, we are not in any danger.

The internet is more likely to assist criminals. I'm not interested in doing it but I bet if I googled "how to build a bomb", I'd have no problem finding some instructions.

I learned a lot about police works from fictional detectives back in the day too, especially observing Stan "Wojo" Wojciehowicz and Rico Tubbs in action, not to mention Sheriff McCloud.

I liked "Police Woman" with Angie Dickinson but never really "connected" with her sexuality like many did. She never did anything for me. But the story line was usually good.

Oh, Pepper!

I think her eyes were all screwy.

I thought Pepper Anderson was a pretty great character when I was a kid; my dad loved Angie Dickinson. But, I see what you mean about her eyes being a little wonky.

I bet you had a major crush on Cagney and Lacey.

Modern police pursuit techniques were modelled off the efforts of Roscoe P. Coltrane ... :nods:

Those two were always PMSing.........I hated them because they were always bitchy. No attraction at all, or they were strong women with an attitude I'm not sure, let me check Freud.

It's unfair that his major contributions to the field were never properly recognized because of a few minor fiascos. I feel the same about Barney Fife. They both got shafted by the system.

But those eyes...

I didn't like them either. My favorite police woman was Julie Barnes. The Mod Squad was already in reruns when I first saw it, but she was still cool.

I liked Mrs. McMillan and Mildred too; they were the real crime-solving brains behind the Commissioner. Everybody says so.

I still like the old Perry Mason ones, but I guess if I had too pick a new one, it would be the cold case one that shows the perps when they were young then flashes into the future as they are now.

The notion that someone could make themselves a better criminal by watching a fictional crime show is laughable right up until you consider the OP's early education was probably based on Sesame Street and the latter on Welcome back, Kotter!

Then, not so funny...
