I quite enjoy NCIS but have only been able to find up to season 3 on dvd here in the library here.

As far as being the best crime show though, there is no way this matches THE WIRE in terms of quality. That being said, it is a lot easier to sit down and just zone out and watch an episode of NCIS. Different programmes suit different moods.

Absolutely!!! The Wire is much better, but NCIS is enjoyable.

NCIS is on all the time on USA network.

I can take it in very small doses.

My wife and I love NCIS, and Criminal Minds. In fact, we've decided that if we ever get a dog (or any other pet for that matter) we're going to name it Dinozo.

We started watching The Mentalist this year, and that show is good, I'd reccomend giving it s shot.

As for CSI Miami, just watch this clip and you'll see all you ever need to.

I think NCIS is the best of the "Investigative shows" (i've never seen the wire). But like all of them you cant watch it everyday or it starts to annoy you.

I cant stand CSI Miami. Listening to Horatio's quips before each commercial makes me want to throw things.

@GStW
Naming your dog Dinozo would be awesome!

TV3 in Denmark runs an episode and yesterdays episode every day. I never get tired of it.

Sort of like Friends and MASH having run for more or less... ever... on TV2. They never stop, just start over at the end.

My favorite will always be Homicide: Life on the Streets, it was the most realistic show ever made.

I'm liking The Beast (although I don't think Patrick Swayze will make it to season 2...too bad, he's amazing in this)

Eh I personally prefer Criminal Minds, although I like both.

@alestar I might take a look at homicide; I saw it somewhere.

its amazing...I even read the book that they based the series on by David Simon ("Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets")...very good book as well.

Anyways, I think NCIS is dull..

you suck.

NCIS ftw. never watched lots of it (incompatible airing hours), but I just loved the whole story between Gibbs and the Mossad agent. brilliant.
CSI is just ridiculous, and sometimes plain silly, like the episode with radiation, tremendous bullshit.




Scrubs beats them all tho.

[Morgoth]

how can anyone possibly claim that this show is a better crime show than Hercule Poirot when played by David Suchet is beyond me.

[Aptorian]

Ducky is more charming than Hercule Poirot and a better detective aswell!

[Grimjust Bearegular]

No, it is boring.

[Aptorian]

Did you just call NCIS boring?!

[Grimjust Bearegular]

lemme check...yes, that would be correct.

you look like you could need a hug...

I thoroughly agree with the fact that NCIS is the best damn crime series ever.

[The Dark Wanderer]

I'd agree with the above, but have to add a little proviso. It's the best clean crime show. To understand this think of all the crime shows you can thik of, if you'd let someone say 10 or 11 watch them then they're a clean crime show, if you wouldn't (ie excessive gore, rape storylines etc), then its not. So shows like The Wire, The Shield (and probably the Beast from what I've heard of it) are not counted in this category while clean shiny shows like CSI (except possibly Season 1 of the original) , NCIS etc are. So depends what kind of mood I'm in as to which I watch.

You know what, I absolutely agree. Never thought about it that way though. Props to you for giving me a new insight haha

[Grimjust Bearegular]

the Shield is great...I've only watched up to season four, don't really want to watch season five and up because Lemonhead is my favourite character...
