Pick Your Favorite CBS Procedural

[Starbreaker]

Go

I'm partial to Criminal Minds myself, even though CSI is a close second.

 

[Mysterion]

NCIS. Mostly for the cast, but also for the writing most of the time.

 

[tomalak301]

CSI before Grissom left.

 

[Dale]

The Big Bang Theory: a geek procedural...

 

[Aragorn]

You forgot Numbers.

I'd have to go with The Mentalist.

 

[Flibble]

NCIS, but I'm really getting to like The Mentalist!

 

[Mr Light]

1. CSI and 2. NCIS though I don't watch either anymore, got sick of them eventually. Plus without Grissom and Warrick? Meh.

 

[John Clark]

I watch Criminal Minds, CSI, NCIS, NCIS LA, CSI NY, Flashpoint and Numb3rs, but I'd say NCIS is my favourite because of the characters.

Gave up on Miami. I enjoy Cold Case when I see it, but it's not that often.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I don't really watch any of them. I liked the first season of Criminal Minds but I haven't watched it since.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

My mum watches the CSI series avidly, so I'd be inclined to vote for that - well, the first one, anyway.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I don't like any of them really. I voted for Cold Case because it's at least watchable. My favorite procedurals are all on different channels apparently, my favorite being Law and Order: SVU.

 

[auntiehill]

The only one I'm mildly interested in is Criminal Minds.

 

[Bad Bishop]

Not all crime shows are "procedurals." Cold Case doesn't really belong in the poll. It is not really about the science and techniques of crime solving--ballistics, fingerprints, DNA, etc.

Cold Case is a character-driven drama. It explores the lives of crime victims and criminals. CSI and the others don't really do the same thing.

 

[JiNX-01]

I voted for Leroy Jethro Gibbs!

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Wow - none.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Of the shows listed, I watch three of them, having lost interest in the CSI's long ago.

In order of preference:

1. NCIS (I love this show - the characters are awesome! IMO, the best all-around cast and writing for that cast on TV, period)
2. Cold Case (I love these characters too, and the period music is great. Plus, I love the whole period aspect of the show itself)
3. NCIS: LA - I'm warming up to it a bit, although I still can't say that it is even a shadow of NCIS. Nevertheless, it's decent. Don't like all the characters like I do with NCIS...but there aren't any I detest either.

 

[Ward Fowler]

Kojak.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

NCIS. Great characters.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Who gave you my mother's DVR list?

 

[Braxton]

NCIS. The cast is extraordinary and the writing can be extremely good at times but it's mainly all about the cast and their interactions. CSI is good too but would be better if Grissom and Warrick were still on.
