51. CSI got unbearable after the fifth season.

Sun Apr 1, 2012, 03:44 PM

And I have some friends who are in medical school or have graduated - they loathe Grey's Anatomy. House is the medical show of choice among med students - a lot of the cases submitted to the show are from real doctors.

As for CSI the reason I have for the show being unbearable is around the fifth season they switched from actually solving murders to "let's find the weirdest sexual fetishes we can find and base entire episodes around that."
