"24" hands down. I've been watching "24" a lot longer than CSI. Unlike CSI which can be boring sometimes "24" gets my full attention with each episode. I love Billy and watch because of him but Jack Bauer(Kiefer) and the gang are my fave. ----------------------------
Naval Criminal Investigation Services or something.. it's a spinoff of JAG. I happen to like Lost and Battlestar Galactica more than CSI. It's third on my list, though.
CSI will always be on top for me, but falling in a very close second i'll have to say it's a tie between House and NCIS.
House! Nothing beats House! Yeah, sorry, if House and CSI were on the same night, I'd rather watch House. But CSI is second, though!
I also just started to get into 24 so if I had to chose then it would go like this: SVU, 24, then all the CSI's
Here are my faves in order: 1.CSIM-My all time fave out of the three 2.CSINY 3.NCIS 4.CSI 5.Cold Case 6.Criminal Minds 7.Ghost Whisperer 8.Close to Home 9.Injustice 10.Hallmark Mystery Movies
OK, I may have to wait 10 years to be sure, but I think one show that might beat CSI in the end is The X-Files. I was obsessed with that show through my teenage years, had all the books and videos, a mind full of random facts... And now, years later, I'm buying all the DVDs, and loving it just as much as I used to. Like I said, I'll have to wait 10 years to see if CSI stands up to this, but as my first obsession, I think The X-Files may just win... Though I think people that have been mulder/scully shippers are the most patient shippers ever. But know you'll get what you want in the end. Though Mulder and Scully had chemistry Sara and Grissom could only dream of...
