Re: I'm using this thread to discuss police procedurals I never watch.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]I already explained the differences between the three Law & Orders, you'll just have to find that <a href="http://caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=90749">somehow</a> if you're really curious. (Hey that episode had to do with identifying someone by their screen name too, <i>what are the odds??</i>) [quote name="IMDb"]Plot: CSU Stuckey's careless error causes a deranged killer to go free on a technicality. Later, more signature killings emerge, and more people connected to the case may be targeted.[/quote] Here's what I don't get. How come, on <i>Law & Order</i>, the people who investigate crime scenes in NYC are members of the NYPD Crime Scene Unit, and they wear windbreakers with "CSU" on them or sometimes clean suits, and their only job is collecting evidence and sometimes they don't even get that right - whereas, on <i>CSI: New York</i>, the people who investigate crime scenes in NYC are called CSI: New York, and they wear windbrakers with "CSI" on them or sometimes kevlar vests, and their job is to collect evidence, interrogate suspects, kick down doors and shoot perps, and they live in a glass fortress, and they're never, ever wrong? To quote Sherlock Holmes, the first CSI: <i>it just doesn't add up.</i> I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle v_v[/quote]
