I have found criminal minds more disturbing that CSI. When we had cable I also liked to watch the first 48 and crime 360,but I hated the cop interrogation mind games they used on people.
I love CSI Vegas. DH hates them with a passion says he can't stand the dramatic actors.
I borrow whole seasons at a time from the library so I'll watch 2-3 episodes a night! They don't freak me out to much. If I happen to be in a motel or something and see forensic files on TV about real murders now that freaks me out! CSI often has mistakes in some episodes and I love to find them
wait, you mean the world ISN'T full of conspiracies and horrific but remotely plausible crimes commited by evil, deeply manipulative, and clever criminal masterminds?
oh, *I* get it, you're suggesting I'm just PARANOID! but I'm on to you... you're probably saying it's "just me" to mess with my mind, aren't you...
SEE! I was right all along. we DO live in CSI land.
loved those shows. however since I swore off TV about 6 years ago, my shrink says I'm ever so much better.
ok, just kidding. CSI is one of the few shows I actually miss.
but the real no-no for me is slasher horror movies with a mind twist, things like Saw... that and anything were an alien larva slithers into your body and burst out of your chest later... those give me nightmares!
I did some work for Florida Dept of Law Enforcement a number of years ago... worked with the lab guys/investigators who caught serial killer Ted Bundy... it's pretty interesting when you get to see the real crime forensic stuff first hand.
did I mention that they kept a human hand in formaldehide in a jar right on a shelf right over my desk? yep. evidence.
and because it's actually less than 6 degrees of separation when it comes to Ted Bundy, my hubby at the time (now my ex) had a highschool friend who was murdered by Ted Bundy...
it gave me a taste for reading about serial killers and true crime/forensics. that and the Dexter series.
Funny you should ask. Yep. DW and I both suffer night terrors and it's hard to get back to sleep. Guy came to the door today selling meat and no way was I letting him in the house. Gonna get me a gun and have it in my hand when a stranger comes to the door. I get freaked a little when I go out back to close up the girls. I gotta get a bigger spot light installed. Gonna light up the whole dang woods with that thing!
Won't have to worry about tricker treaters either.
