1. Forensic Files
I just like it the best, with City Confidential coming in a close second.

2. My Guilty Pleasure
Unsolved Mysteries. I know, I know, a lot of it has nothing to do with crime.

I forgot to add it, and there were only ten choices. I remember Lifetime used to run that all the time at noon and 1 pm, EST.

Does it still?

EDIT : Typo

5. Yes, it does
A lot of the "lost loves" segments annoy me (guess I'm not a romantic), but I love the crime cases.

4. I voted for City Confidential.
There's something about that show that just draws me in. I think it's Paul Winfield - the show just isn't the same without him.

7. The show isn't the same without Winfield...who left us recently.

I hate the new narrator's voice and the screwed up, faster, choppier pacing they've adopted as a result. One reason that City Confidential was so excellent is that it's details unfolded at just the right pace. With an eye to the non-attention span impaired. Rushing us through the stories is killing something about the show for me. Which is not to say that I've hated every episode I've watched since Winfield's death. I voted for it as the best series overall.

11. yes, I am trying to warm up to t he new guy but it is difficult
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 03:05 AM by Skittles
I think the problem is, Paul Winfield was TOPS - he had such a lazy, soothing voice - I just LOVED him - it's diffucult not to compare the new guy to him.
