My Comment: So, to summarize you are watching Sports, Crime, and 'Stars'. I mean, what?! Where is Glee (Fox), V (ABC), or even Kill Bill (Volume 1 and 2 aired on Spike last week) - I continue to be completely baffled (Yes, it happens occasionally) as to why many of you enjoy spending your free time watching Crime Dramas, week after week. Come now, you must admit, it is the same old chauvinistic violence and really you can get the same affect by simply viewing your local newscast....
