Which is the better? Law and Order or CSI.

Its already confirmed that CBS has ordered up a third CSI, this one set in NYC, and better use Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" for a theme; I've read rumors of Dick Wolf developing yet another LaO show for NBC.

Which makes you wonder what Tv land is coming to.

Is this franchising a bit too excessive?

YES! and many franchises are international.
we get AUSTRALIAN idol, etcetcetcetcetcetcetc (i don't watch these stupid channels anymore)

(but i havn't watched the other CSI series much yet, i prefer the original)

i don't really watch law and order, coz i'm too stupid to follow the plot haha (intruigue confuses me, i just sit there screaming "STOP LYING EVERYONE!" at the tv)

L&O owns CSI any day. L&O also hasn't felt the need to expand itself to a different city; there are currently three L&O shows all set in the same city. Makes for some interesting crossovers sometimes.

After about the 10th season, I got tired of LaO. And SUV is not only depressing, the cops just seem too self-righteous. The problem I have w/ CI is that one guy does everything. He never needs help from his partner.

I like CSI Miami now -- Horatio is cool.

As for theme song, I suggest Joe Walsh: I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime, life's been good to me so far.

Reading is fundamental

I think they both suck.
The new show Touching Evil is pretty good

Law and Order hands down. Always an interesting story line. And the guy on L&O Criminial Intent is a trip.

one problem with CSI is how DNA evidence is tested almost instantly as soon as it gets down to the lab.

it'd normally take days/weeks.

there's no delays in CSI, makes for faster, yet unrealistic viewing.

Well in L&O, you never get to understand that these cops work more than one case, and it takes a lot longer than five acts/42 minutes to investigate, arrest, and prosecute someone.

considering thats the only amount of time they need, they usualy make the scenes in 4-5 day jumps

Part of why I like CSI is ebcause it isn't set in NYC. So I don't know how I'll like the new series. The cast will be introduced in May on CSI: Miami. There's somethign I'm confused about, on Law and Order they always refer to the crime lab people as "CSU" so shouldn't the NYC CSI be called CSU then?

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 3:28 pm

Technically yes but the new series will be called CSI: NY, NY.
