CSI while it does have a lot of ummm fake effects and technologies which are used at the same time there is a great deal of truth that goes into the technologies that they use. I know this because I am studying all this crap in school and I have family members that work in the crime scene investigation thing.
However most of the job involves looking at beer bottles and trying to find fingerprints that would lead to an individual being arrested. And that is no easy task to say the least, as well there isn't a computer that you can just plug in fingerprints and it will come up with a match on the spot. In a perfect world that would be the case, but as I am sure everyone knows this is not a perfect world.
Also, I think that people can take television to seriously. I will sit down and watch a show, but at the same time it seems odd to me that some people would start thinking that this is the way in which things actually work in the real world. The boob tube should be used for entertainment, not as a tool to reach a higher lever or to achieve self-actualization or whatever some people use it as.
Corner Gas is on CTV by the way, not a bad show. I have seen a couple episodes. And even though it has Brent Butt in it (or at least I think that is his name) it is quite funny. Not something I go out of my way to watch, but still entertaining.
That 70's Show really isn't that funny anymore, it has it's moments, but they seem to be few and far between and it doesn't seem as though anything has really changed. Eric does something that his dad thinks is wrong, is called a dumbass, and gets threatened to get a kick in the ass. Steven acts like a badass, but in the end he is a good guy. Kelso does something stupid, etc, etc. Some laughs but nothing along the lines of what used to be great shows in Fraiser, Cheers, Married With Children and the like.
