My favourite is SVU (With Criminal intent in 2nd place)

I agree with you on the first and second place....

the most annoying series of shows ever.. and I have never even watched a full episode. It's not even their fault, but it pisses me off when I want to come home and watch something good on TBS, USA, TNT, or whatever, and one of those shows is on, followed by another one.... blahhhhh

SVU rocks so much!!

I like all of them to a degree...moderation in everything

I like the Criminal Intent better because it doesn't have the courtroom scenes.

Criminal Intent doesn't have courtroom scenes?? Since when??

Since always, it's just cop investigations unless I'm thinking about a different show. :confused:

you might be thinking of CSI....they are similar but there are court scenes in Criminal Intent just as there are sometimes on CSI

But CI doesn't dedicate half or a third of each episode to what happens in the court room does it? :confused:
I'm pretty sure I'm not thinking of of CSI because that is the one that flashes the gross scenes every now and then.

Most of the Law & Orders spend the last 10 minutes of the show in the courtroom, 12 if it's a really exciting courtroom scene. Although now that I think about it, not ever episode of SVU and CI have the courtroom scenes at all. It depends on the story I suppose.

Wasn't there a Law & order show that was nothing but the courtroom drama? I think it only lasted a year.

Yeah... I forget what it was called ("Trial By Jury", maybe?). I've never seen it though.
