The Best Crime Scene Shows On Tv!

If you love the mystery and don't mind the "gross out" factor of some crime scene shows, then chances are you love shows like CSI. I know I do! I have been watching CSI (Grissom) since it first came out on October 6th, 2000. Since then I have been an avid watcher of Willows, Grissom, "Nicky", Sara, Warrick and the rest of the lot. But there is a ton of different crime scene television shows out there. Some are of the CSI franchise, while others are Bones and Criminal Minds.

But really, who is the best of the best? Who gets watched the most? And more importantly who has the most die hard fans? Well, listed below we have the top five best crime scene shows available on TV (now). No, I'm not going to list ones that are 20 years old like Matlock or Murder She Wrote. This isn't old school! Check it out:

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is an American crime drama television series. CSI premiered on CBS on October 6th, 2000. The ninth season began airing on October 9th, 2008 and currently airs in the United States on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m.

The show was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is filmed primarily at Universal Studios in Universal City, California. CSI Las Vegas is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Productions, which became CBS Paramount Television in the fall of 2006. Formerly a co-production with the now-defunct Alliance Atlantis Communications, that company's interest in the series is now owned by investment firm GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs.

Flashpoint is about the dramatic portrayal of an elite tactical unit, called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force (styled on the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force, Toronto being where the series is filmed). The SRU are tasked to resolve extreme situations that regular officers cannot handle including hostage-taking, bomb threats and heavily armed criminals. Even though they're backed with high-tech equipment with an arsenal of explosives, tasers, sub-machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, the SRU operators use intuition and judgement to resolve the situation.

The show Bones begins in the year 2005, and tells the story of a series of case files, solved weekly, by an unlikely alliance between Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan's forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institution (a thinly veiled allusion to the Smithsonian Institution) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth.

By examining the human remains of the murder victims, Dr. Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise and an outsider's perspective to the world of criminal investigation to the FBI. In addition to the murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of the major characters including the developing friendship and possibly romantic relationship between Brennan and Booth.

NCIS is a television show that follows a fictional team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team (MCRT) special agents, headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. It is described by the actors and producers (on special features on DVD releases in the USA) as being distinguished by its comedy elements, ensemble acting and character-driven plots.

The "NCIS team" is led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs' team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). The team is assisted in their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) and Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).

The series of Criminal Minds originally centered on Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin), one of the BAU's best profilers. On July 17th 2007, it was announced that Patinkin had been granted a request to be released from his role on the show. Patinkin was replaced by Joe Mantegna, who joined the cast several episodes after Patinkin left the show.[1] The show is also centered around the BAU's Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Hotchner struggles to balance his family life and his job.

The rest of the BAU consists of Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Jennifer Jareau (AJ Cook), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna). The team is headquartered out of Quantico, Virginia at the FBI academy. The show focuses on the BAU traveling around the United States as they catch the most dangerous criminals. Each episode, except for a few, begins and ends with a quote that is relevent to the episode. The quotes were overwhelmingly recited by Gideon until his departure; since then each member has said the quotes.
