I've only watched one episode of Las Vegas (the one with Jon) and I thought it was crap.

Shows like CSI are probably worse though. It's too procedural, it's too similar each and every week and it's nowhere near ambitious enough, yet somehow it's the biggest show in America...............????????? There was a far, far better show called Millennium (only the first season though) that aired in the mid-ninties which CSI has completely ripped off and watered down to a pathetic degree. Take all the intelligence out of a show, strip away everything that makes it interesting and then do a rehash of it where you spoon feed the audience the same stuff every week and make them think they're smart for figuring out "who done it". Rubbish.
Millennium explored the most interesting things, why serial killers do what they do, what needs to be done to catch them, the effects it has on the lives of the people whos job it is to catch them and how that job effects their personal lives. Not to mention commenting on massive increase of violence that was and continues to take place in the world at the moment.

Tash is right, "Lost" is absolutely quality. Looking forward to Season 2. 24 is great too.
