God....COP shows are just plain stupid.

[Bennyboy]

I am watching CSI Caruso right now. This is the most riduclous bunch of shit I have ever seen.

never mind the incredibly atrocious acting by Horatio Cane.

From the get go, this is just not plausible. No police department takes prisoners out the front of the building giving them access to the throngs of people and the media. ALWAYS they are taken out in a secure environment. I see this on this show all the time and I just roll my eyes. IT IS STUPID.

Then we have a hot babe CSI, who always wears white and never manages to stain her clothing, take evidence from a crime scene, without securing it. She has another appointment and does not give the evidence to the other cops on the scene. STUPID. NEVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN.

Then the prisoners in the jail kidnap Cane's kid and hide him an air duct. Yeah right. Is the Miami jail a hundred years old? A modern jail will have no access to an air duct and if you think they are so easy to get into don't you think that they would have a fucking expressway to escape?

I thought hese types of shows had creative people on them to advise them on actual procedures used by the cops, Do they diregard them just to make dramatic effect?

1. Caruso uses more pregnant pauses than Shatner EVER did.

He's a pretty face, but he ain't no cop.

It's drama, or an unreasonable facsimile thereof.

[Bennyboy]

2. They could come (pregnant pause) close......

to being somewhat realistic....

3. Jim Carey sums Caruso up better than I ever could:

6. My dear Bennyboy!

Didja ever watch "Cops"?

The original, and the best, cop show evah!

Real cops, real situations, the real deal...

I haven't watched it in years, or maybe decades, but back in the day, it was the show to watch!

If it's still on....catch it!:thumbsup:

[Bennyboy]

7. I used to watch just to see who....

The Raiders traded for that year.....(because everyone it seems gets busted wearing Raiders gear)....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. What a riot! I had forgotten that!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

-Real stoned rednecks
-Real drunk and stoned rednecks
-Real stoopid rednecks
-Real freeper rednecks
-Real Springer-rejected rednecks.....

:rofl:

10. You got that right!

12. They always busted the guy without the shirt on

Tune in randomly. If you see a cop mediating between two guys, one with a shirt on and one naked from the waist up, you know the shirtless guy is going to wind up in the back of a police cruiser!

16. I think there is a strong correlation between shirtlessness

and low IQ.

[Common Sense Party]

15. I'm with you, Peggy. That's one of my faves. I catch it whenever

I'm in a hotel. I just watched an episode a while ago, in fact.

The rule of thumb was, if you saw a guy with no shirt, he was going to jail.

11. I like Law and Order

The SVU on tonight is pretty good so far.

[Skittles]

13. ALL the CSI shows are unbelievably stupid

it certainly explains their popularity

[Common Sense Party]

14. On the other hand, I LOVE the show COPS.

It is the funniest program on television.

The sheer, blinding stupidity of the American criminal never ceases to amaze.

17. For those in the cop business, I imagine they feel the way I feel about medical shows...

After 30 years of healthcare, there is yet to be one TV show that even gets in the vicinity of getting it right.

18. I hate the reality cops shows like "Cops"

Seriously, how many times can you watch "Get on the ground!"? Same shit in a different city.
