When CI started running here, I couldn't really get into it. I wasn't terribly interested in any of the criminals they profiled, and wasn't really seeing enough of the "good guys" to be attached to them. But the more that I started watching the reruns here, the more that Goren started to intrigue me. I have a thing about brooding geniuses, I think. (Fox Mulder, etc.)

I love all the characters on SVU, but I hate running into the same reruns over and over again. :(

I like Cold Case, and almost included it on my list (probably should have). I'm trying to catch up. The main characters aren't as much of a draw as the cases are on that one though. I'm not sure why, though I think it's directly related to why I don't get into it more.

You should try and find L&O UK if you can though, it's really good.
