Crime Scene Investigation, Las Vegas started it. Better known as CSI / LV, this show was so popular that it has spawned a pair of spin-offs. I've enjoyed numerous ensemble programs but this is the first one where I actually formed an attachment to the characters. And not just one or two, I like all of them, I have no favorites here. And I am apparently one of the few fans of this program that liked Riley, I thought she was pretty cool. And I like Ray too ;). |

Without a Trace is still in my heart though it has gone the way of syndication. And while I liked all of the characters, I do have a favorite here. Jack Malone is the Cat's Pajamas. So is Anthony LaPaglia ;). |
 | N.C.I.S. is another favorite, with a confession attached. I like all of the characters - but I started watching this one because of David McCallum. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is one of two series that I became nearly rabid about (the original Star Trek being the other) before I knew anything about fandom - an odd state of being for an adolescent.. So when Illya Kuryakin showed up on the small screen once more you can bet I was front and center on Tuesday nights :). But I can say that I'd still watch, now, even if Duckie retired, I've gotten attached to the others as well. |

Cold Case caught my attention for it's premise - the idea of a unit that concentrates on old unsolved cases sounded interesting - turns out it is too :). New technology in use today applied to old cases, where possible, is pretty cool. No favorites here either, I like 'em all! |
 | Criminal Minds. Mandy dragged me into this one, and by the time he left the program it was too late for me to leave, everyone was already 'family'. I miss Jason Gideon (and Mandy) but I like Dave Rossi (and Joe). And good glory, Kirsten is a real life woman - she's not only pretty but she can buy her clothes off the rack! Her presence as a main character - who is not a charicature - has gone a long way toward restoring my faith in Hollyweird. Ditto for Dr Reid's presence - Spence is more than the oddball he could have been portrayed as. No favorites here, I like all of them :). |
