More disturbing is their use of little flashlights. Why do they need them outside and why can't they turn on a light switch when entering a darkened room?
Always puzzled me too. I found it on Sodnagel's List of TV Crime Show Cliches as rule number 5a.

That's a bit of a daggy question. One that, for years, I've been asking my poor wife in movie theaters and while watching cops and robbers tv:
"Why don't the dumb b*sta*ds just switch on the bloody lights!!!!!!????????"
LOL! I say the same thing every time I watch that show - "Hello? The sun is shining, why are you using your flashlight?!?"
As for the "I'm pro-choice" Catherine Willows, I don't know why it was necessary in the plot of the show for her to get all fired up about a woman who was trying to preserve life. Her whole "In the 1600's a pope said..." was a bunch of crap - as if the Catholic Pope defines Christianity in total. (He doesn't in my eyes, I'm sorry to all the Catholics.) I thought it was completely unnecessary and irritated me. But I'll probably still watch the show.
Do you watch Crossing Jordan? The rerun on A&E was very interesting last night. I think it was one of the best shows.
