CS Why?

I know I am going to invoke the wrath of many, but after keeping it to myself (ok, not really, but my mom and husband don't really count) I am going to spill it - I HATE CSI (both the original and Miami). I am sick and tired of people lauding it as the best show on or can't miss television. It is crap! The acting is so over the top. The writers must think those that watch it are complete morons. "Look it's a footprint. It must be a clue." No shit! Believe me, I tried to like this show, I really really did. I used to work in law enforcement (public information, not an investigator) and I know that crime scene techs DO NOT take the lead on cases. They are there to assist the investigator. God.
