CSI Vegas

- surprised?, i'm actually not. It's still a quality made show despite loosing

Grissom

Thoughts?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Never watched an episode of any of the CSIs - from what I've heard its the type of show that'd piss me off...
I thought the most watched show in the world would be The Simpsons or Friends or another show that is constantly repeated...

not surprised really,its a vastly popular series .. it had been in decline after

grissom

left but has been gradually rising since

larry fishburne

joined the cast.it'll take alot to get it to reach its peak again but it commands an army of fans.

Im not hugely surprised since it still has a huge following.

But as mentioned above you'd think Simpsons or Friends would be watched more since there constantly on tv.

It is dumbed down glossed up $hite that is easy for people to watch and doesn't require much thought. That is why so many people watch it,just like reality tv. I am not saying everyone who watches it is an idiot or anything,people will like it for what it is and just enjoy it,but for the masses it is easy to watch and a lot of people actually think that is how murder investigations work.

Apparently Baywatch was the worlds most watched show in it's heyday. Guess there's no accounting for taste in any era.

Baywatch is still awesome - for the theme tune if nothing else...

I always thought it was Seinfeld.

i was surprised that miami was the most watched series back in 2006, and house only got it last year,

there are much better quality shows out there, but CSI Vegas i suppose has a very wide appeal, wheras other shows like Lost, V, and chuck would have more specific fan bases, thus leading to low viewing figures,

its weird CSI is never spoken about here, id assume a lot of people here would watch it, is it taboo or what.

The nominees were pre-selected among the fifteen best imported fiction programs in 68 countries, i.e. almost 1.7 billion potential viewers.CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION gathered more than 73.8 million viewers worldwide beating out last year’s winner House. CSI previously won the International Audience Award in 2007 and 2008. Its spinoff series, CSI: MIAMI won in 2006.

im assuming that by the top 15 imported shows, they mean current series,
