While that's a somewhat funny/boring commentary, there actually is a real danger in these types of shows. People who watch CSI, Law and Order, Cold Case, and whatever are getting warped views of what an actual "solid case" looks like. For television, everything has to fit just right, or else the audience isn't satisfied. "But what if this? But what if that? This show didn't tie up all the loose ends."
Simple fact is, in actual cases, there are almost always loose ends that simply can not be tied. There's apparently been a study done (don't know the specifics, don't know where) that shows that juries have actually been heavily influenced by CSI and Law and Order, and thus, are becoming harder and harder to please.
Very interesting.
