CSI New York was surprisingly conservative, lead by conservative Gary Sinise playing conservative Detective Mac Taylor.
I did a brief stint in Armed Forces Police in NYC in 1967. We were covering an antiwar protest at White Hall Street with the NYPD.
An old NYPD Sargent looked at some FBI suit running around and looking impressive before the cameras and said, “Kid, the three biggest lies in the world are Home Cooking, Home F##king, and the FBI.” Never forgot that.
