Because the two episodes I managed to endure featured a lead detective who was painful, absolutely painful for me to listen to. It's as if he wanted to be Columbo and Monk together, and it caused me to want to tear my ears off. His female partner was absolutely bland as bananas by comparison, and appeared to have all the independent thought of a ready-made foil. Two episodes turned me off that show and I purged even the names of the characters from my brain almost immediately and have never looked back.
L&O:SVU is creepy and makes me writhe with uncomfortableness. I have not managed to force myself to see Trial by Jury or Crime and Punishment - at a certain point, enough is enough!
I have roommates who love Boston Legal, and the episodes I've seen/had to listen to by virtue of the nearness of the television to my room and the thinness of walls were very funny, but it's not something I feel compelled to follow. We have to get everything on DVD anyway due to not paying for cable and having crappy reception even before the Great Digital Shift.
Why not CI?
