Is CSI messing up our legal system and is CSI getting too gory?

LOL I actually saw a documentary a few months ago talking about that very thing and how jurors believe the real system is like the CSI shows...and I have to say that not only amuses me but really makes me wonder too...I mean entertaining fiction television is just that entertaining and FICTION...so why ppl would think its real is beyond me...As for them beign too graphic now...I dont think so really..Imean CSI New York was always IMO the most graphic of the three shows and I dont think its really changed any...Of course that sort of thing doesnt phase me either

Well I like it. Although I am fed up with programs explaining to much or making fake stuff up to make it sound realistic. Over here there's complaints that what they could be used to hide how they find out to "do" the "perfect" murder or just to get away with it. I think it's silly but I do think they should cut it down a bit. ~joey

The original CSI, yes, I believe it is getting way to graphic. That is why I stopped watching it. They say they like to 'push the envelope', but there is a fine line between edgy and overboard. This is only my opinion, but I think they are doing these things purely for shock value.
