thebitterguyYes, loyal Bitterites! The time has come to decide the champion in this storied TV rivalry. Hoo'd Win in an epic battle between Law & Order and CSI!
Law and Order is the hoary veteran, with 16 years under its belt (and that's just for one show! Add seven more for SVU, five for Criminal Intent, and a bit for Trial by Jury, and it's been on the air long enough to drink! In the states! All of them!), but Bruckheimer helmed CSI has been the tenacious newcomer for six years (which in TV land makes it an old pro, but there's nothing sadder than two old guys swinging at each other).
So now, Bitterites! Pick! Will it be the always New York a riffic, Chung Chung-tastic L&O? Or will the Who Helmed rainbow of CSI win the day?
[Poll #798293]

Date: 2006-08-18 03:43 am (UTC)Will it make you wince if I tell you that CSI had an episode involving furries?
Well, that's what I'm telling you.

Date: 2006-08-18 03:49 am (UTC)For me, CSI just never grabbed me like L&O has. I'm a bigger fan of SVU than the regular L&O (and CI or the other one never did it for me.) Mainly, I like SVU for Meloni and Ice-T, and I have to admit I like seeing all the OZ alumni on both shows.

Date: 2006-08-18 03:53 am (UTC)I haven't watched CSI in about 3 years; I mostly caught it b/c the girl I was dating at the time loved it (she also got me hooked on L&O, which I'd never watched at all before then.... I think it was the episode where Kevin Smith cameo'd in that really caught my attention.)

Date: 2006-08-18 04:22 am (UTC)Still missed that ep. I'll just have to watch Spike until it comes on, I guess.

Date: 2006-08-18 04:23 am (UTC)Oh yeah, maybe the science is (mostly) correct, but Grissom's (sp?) little witty remarks, his not-so-casual quotations of Shakespeare/Socrates/ whatever are just too contrived for me to turn away. If I knew Grissom in real life, I would do everything in my power to avoid being in the same room with him, especially alone. What a bore! But on tv, he's hilariously melodramatic. It's a bit like watching Shatner in ST.
And all of the acting is so bad, and the writing is so 'Crime drama for dummies!' and the montages of like, someone sharpening a pencil are so falsely intense - it's the perfect model of how to write something with zero substance but maximum impact.
