    I'm curious how people who watch crime procedural shows are "dumb"

    Well, just as long as it only mystifies you.

    I want to know what shows the smart people watch since I am clearly in the 1/4 of the brain category because one of my favorite shows is a crime procedural about the military.

    I watch both NCIS shows, one CSI show and I was a huge fan of Criminal Minds.

    I'm going to go sit in the corner and drool on myself while Dick Whitman congratulates himself for watching Mad Men.

    Mad Men is the Derek Jeter of TV shows, great, but so universally praised that it's become overrated.

    It's not even in the same league as Breaking Bad.

    Mizzou, I wish I had enough brain power to drool. And Criminal Minds is very well done. So well done that it's too creepy to watch. If network TV could have cussing and nudity, it would be a good companion to Dexter. And that's the rub. Cable TV has a big edge in that it has things in play that network TV does not.
