CBS - What Have You Watched Since 2000
- Thread starter Starbreaker
- Start date
Moonlight--nothing new but I liked the two leads.
Threshold--I liked it but it needed more time to find itself.
Judging Amy--loved Amy Brenneman and Tyne Daly--a great show that went on too long.
48 Hours Mystery--I enjoy these crime story type shows.
I used to watch The Mentalist but it got old and repetitve awfully fast and I hate the way they handled the Red John arc.
In fact CBS is practically nothing but wall-to-wall cop/lawyer stuff that is just soooooooooo tired and not at all fresh. If I want to watch those kinds of shows I would watch the older stuff from the 70s/80s and 90s when they were actually entertaining.

That Poll was really long but it's up now.I hate that feature of the BBS...
Big Brother, The Big Bang, plus more are the BEST!!!!!
Just like the NBC thread, I can't believe how many shows I've never heard of. Dr. Vegas? What was that? Love Monkey?
I liked Threshold and Jericho, so of course the were cancelled.
I watched Harper's Island. Shittiest. Ending. Ever.
I would have checked Everybody Loves Raymond, but it's not there. Wasn't that CBS?
And then I watched NUMB3RS, which I enjoyed thoroughly.
And I watch Two and a Half Men, which provides a lovely little half-hour escape from reality.

I enjoyed Christopher Gorham's scenery chewing performance as the incestuously obsessed serial killer.
But yeah, by then they'd dug themselves so far into a hole, no explanation would have passed muster without some pretty torturous logic.
Threshold and the occasional episode of CSI.
Okay, I'm not from the States, so I don't watch the shows on CBS - but there are quite a few I do watch when they finally find their way across the ocean.
Shows I watch(ed) consistently:
Criminal Minds - simply love the characters although the show gets weaker nowadays IMO
Judging Amy - IMO they should have stopped with season 5 (and they never should have let Adrian Pasdar go, I thought the breakup was just poorly handled)
The Good Wife
JAG
Shows I stopped watching and/or caught late in the game:
CSI - stopped when Grissom left
CSI: Miami - can't stand Horatio (and the rest of the "team" isn't that captivating, either)
CSI: New York - just didn't fascinate me as much as the original one, but it's not that bad
NCIS - I'm getting caught up now with new episodes and reruns
NCIS: Los Angeles - started watching somewhere in the middle of season 1
Without a Trace - stopped watching when that 6th female teammember (name?!?) joined up
Eleventh Hour - lost interest way before it went off the air
Numb3rs - I watched the first 2 seasons but only intermittently afterwards
the occasional episodes
Cold Case
Close to Home
The District
The Guardian
Jericho
The Mentalist

I'm only counting shows that I continued watching past the first two episodes:
Early Edition
CSI: Miami
NCIS
Hawaii Five-0
Late Show
Late Late Show (only the Craig Ferguson years)

Now and Again is the standout from that list - by far the best single-season show I've ever seen. Criminal that it didn't continue, and equally disgraceful that it will probably never see a DVD release.
Others I've watched:
Cold Case (scheduling here left a lot to be desired)
Without a Trace (got bored with this after a couple of seasons)
Jericho (first season only; hilariously poor, IMO)
Judging Amy
CSI (gave up on this after a few seasons)
The Good Wife (watched because I liked Juliana Margulies in ER; decent show, but nothing exceptional).
