Glaine:
There's also this show called Masterminds that talks a lot about how criminals did their crimes. They reenact the stories in this kind of lame, low-production style, but the stories themselves are often very interesting. Quite a few of them get away with their heists for many years, but they usually get caught because too many people were involved.

Cop shows/hospital shows are t3h suck.  My wife is an ER fanatic.  I can't even watch it.  I find no entertainment value in watching the worst moment of someone's life every thursday night even if it is fiction.  I just don't see how anyone who has ever been through something like that could find it entertaining.

My wife and I watched ER for the first two or so seasons it was on - then gave up on it.  We do enjoy watching House currently, which is a medical type show, mainly because Dr. House is a sarcastic, semi-mean spirited character.  I've only seen a few minutes of each of the various CSI programs and I just couldn't stand the overacting and the overly dramatic scenes.

ChadTower:

I have only seen parts of House but it appears to be more of a mystery/social commentary show from what I've seen.  ER is terrible.  How many times do you really need to watch an old man cry while his wife of 55 years dies?  Or some woman working 3 jobs discovers that the uppers she is taking to get by ended up killing her newborn via breastfeeding?  That's just not fun to watch and they jam it down your throat on the end of a broomstick covered in broken glass.

Yep, medical mystery mainly.  Social commentary, a little.
