The main reason I dislike this show is how inaccurate it is; CSI techs are not cops. They can't arrest people, can't serve warrants, don't interrogate suspects and lab results take MUCH longer then they do on the show.
Granted, most procedural dramas stretch the truth a bit to make the show more entertaining, but CSI doesn't just stretch the truth, it fabricates it. Some people might be able to sit and watch a show like this and suspend disbelief, but I can't. Knowing that this show is 90% false keeps it from being entertaining for me, and I honestly do not understand why some people can watch this show and think they have learned anything about forensics.
