Spike TV - Murder: Real People Solving Real Crimes - *gruesome warning*

[C. Little]

Is this as disturbing to others as it is to me? TV has sunk to a new low. I've seen ads for this on TV and it looks way too graphic for TV, but leave it to Spike TV to put it on.

To sum it up, it's real people investigating real crime scenes, and the scenes are way overboard.

***Warning, the link below is pretty graphic***

no graphic links please

Don't we have a Christian in the White House? :scratch

there is nothing wrong with the show. if you were a cop you would be seeing the same things you can see on tv. I wont watch the show because i dont like gore and stuff like that. However i know people who like to go and look at graves and mummies online and read about topics such as imbalming. I think its alll about taste and what you like and dont like. outside of tna wrestling i dont watch one show on spike tv except for star treak if i am home during the time it is on

We did watch it and it was as graphic as the CSI shows - which I watch. It's basically letting "regular" people play CSI and they use re-created crime scene photos and sets. I definitely wouldn't allow young children to watch it.

outside of the cartoon network, disney and nick i wouldnt let young kids watch any tv unsupervised

I would be careful what they watch on those channels as well. My children are not allowed to watch CN and a friend of mine got rid of her cable after something her child saw on disney. :ohno

Agreed to young children. I've watched them all. Nailed them all too re: killer and evidence missed especially in the last one re: the woman in the van. Picture of a piece of cardboard with shoe imprint with something obviously liquid was left at the crime scene. Second they found an OJ bottle which was clean and obviously not part of the burned out garage. I was yelling at them to get the OJ bottle and the cardboard piece with the shoe print on it and go to the woman's home cause that wasn't the crime scene.

As soon as they went to the woman's house and I saw her purse I knew it was either the son or the father and the house was the crime scene. Then they did the luminol spray at the home and it was apparant where the murder scene was. And I hollered at hubby to look at what's on top of the fridge........a case with one missing OJ bottle like in the garage not to mention the luminol picture of a shoe print which could be matched.

Said the son did it on is own and I was right.

One thing this show does is show people what REAL forensics and crime scene investigation is like, i.e. not like the CSI shows. Like who looks for evidence in a dark room with only a flashlight?

I've had some forensics training from doing research for a book. Two months worth at the state crime lab. Plus the sheriff here is a friend of mine and let's me do drive alongs etc. Trust me a real murder scene isn't like anything you see on TV. This show points that out.

Gruesome? Yeah but so is murder. I think this is an interesting and informative show. It shows the CSI series is not what a real crime scene investigation is really like.
