Just how many police shows are there on tv, both network and cable.

[texanwitch]

Seems that there is only police or police/medical shows.

I haven't really watched network tv but damn why so many cop shows.

1. Tons!

I do watch Law and Order SVU from time to time. I also watch House and Grey's Anatomy.

Crime shows seem to be appealing. Not sure why either.

2. I don't think there is one night without at least one cop show.

I am glad I have cable.

[flvegan]

3. I like SVU.

I'm not thrilled with the current cast. I actually liked the Fred Thompson years. :hide:

5. I liked him on the show.

And that is where he needed to stay.

4. I agree.

6. First run or rerun?

You can bet on L&O reruns all the time on some cable stations, not to mention CSI, NCSI, etc. And MSNBC has the market on Lockdown crap.

11. Both.

It is all cops/law shows all the time.

I can remember when there were a variety of shows on tv.

7. Anything beats reality shows

:)

10. Anything.

I have probably watched a total of 5 minutes of reality TV since it's been a bit deal on TV. What is the point?

8. Police, law, and medical shows. Apparently the only professions worth making into TV shows.

9. I dunno but

I don't watch TV very often. The other half usually has it on when I go up to bed just as background while working on his computer. Every night I go up and say, "Oh look! Murder and mayhem again tonight!" It's sickening, really.

12. You have police shows, medical shows, CSI crime type shows,

"reality" shows, and game shows. That's all they'll let us have any more. Where'd the comedies go? Where'd all the good stuff go? All they let us have now is Crummy Stuff.

13. Yep.

The only cop show I watch is "Bones".

[harmonicon]

14. one

sometimes they show it with different names and theme songs.

15. horrific crime followed by horrific illness.

repeat nightly. now i remember why i watch so little television other than the late night talk shows. that has to do something to people over time but i'm not sure what.
