Did you know that Pauley Perrette, the actress who plays Abby Sciuto, actually has a master's degree in criminology, with a passion for forensic pathology? I understand she has been known to correct the writers from time to time, when they make a major mistake in forensics. (Smart, pretty, and a goth - what could be better?)
Ouinon, I gather that you don't live in the US, which would explain why you hadn't heard about NCIS: Los Angeles - it's a brand-new show, just started a few weeks ago, and is probably only available overseas by BitTorrent (not that I'd know about such shenanigans!). It is kind of impressive in that they make it look as "futuristic" as CSI: Miami, while restricting themselves to actual existing commercial technology (the two massive wall displays, for instance, are Microsoft Table surfaces, mounted on walls instead of tables). On the other hand, most of the characters, with the exception of local director Hetty Lange, are rather cardboard - the techie, the ex-SEAL, the rogue with a secret, etc.
