CSI TV shows and detective dramas…
We are addicted. No doubt about it. We love ’em and Hollywood obliges our addiction. Two more CSI shows were introduced to TV watchers this year (and I so wish they were better than they are).
Our TV detectives and CSI’s save lives, solve mysteries, and don’t take crap from anyone. They are fearless. They all have amazing intelligence and intuition. They are founts of knowledge. Oh, and they’re good human beings too of course.
These shows are so popular that kids everywhere wanna be a CSI. One of my most popular kids games is Operation Crime Scene Investigation.

But are these murder mysteries – described by one organiser as “Cluedo for real” – simply just a bit of fun, or do they reveal important insights into the human condition in this information age that might help society fight crime in the future?”
