Has anyone seen a TV show (about crime investigation) where the actors made some serious mistakes?
What were they? |

| Not exactly a crime scene investigation but there was an episode of House that caused me to lose any notion the show had any scientific credibility. One of House's patients had a brain tumor that was mysteriously shrinking witiout any radiation treatments. So they send somebody out to her house to see if there is a souce of radiation. That alone is absurd, the idea that somebody's home could have enough radiation to shrink a tumor. Then the guy takes a geiger counter and it's clicking next to the microwave oven and the light switch. Puhleeze!!! |

| This takes Harold's off-topic post even a little more off-topic, but what about the show Heroes? I love the show and have since day 1, but the notion that evolution can produce superpowers like flight, time travel and so on is very, very liberal use of science. Nothing different than a lot of superhero backstories though I suppose. |

Take a look at "CSI" Almost all of the things they do there are heavily altered to suit the drama.
No protective clothing at the scene. NO-NO
No proper handling of evidence. NO-NO
No safe lab-practice. NO-NO
And this goes onandonandon

Yeah...I'd really like to get me one of those "CSI computers"... with a few keystrokes they display all kinds of neat graphics and data.
