I really hate all of those types of shows. CSI is boring pap in my opinion, as are most others (NCIS/Bones/Criminal Minds/Cold Case.)

My dad loves all of those types of shows but I can't see how he can sit there and watch them. That said, I literally have no interest in forensics at all so there's most of my reasoning for you. I think Lie To Me is pretty clever, though; it's more interesting than boggling my mind with pointless crap about "OMG. WOT. JUGULARRR". And although it's more of a joke series, I've developed a love for Monk. I just can't help the latter one.
