Lasts night's episode of CSI Vegas is bothering me so much.
I knew I shouldn't have watched it as a mother, but I couldn't help it. I was in tears the entire show. :(

2. If you are bothered by violence against children, I would.
It was just heartbreaking.

4. This really is one of those shows. I checked the locks and the windows
over and over after watching it. And then I sat by my son's bedside for a few.

5. It was rather distressing... *SPOILER*

And I guess it can happen that a kid would be that paranoid about someone knowing he was wetting the bed. I used to wet my bed, and it's a humiliating experience, but not enough to kill someone. :scared:

(Edited to add spoiler warning :))

8. ***Spoiler****
And then when they were beating the dummy with the overlay of the person, I just lost it. :cry: I was really affected by this episode. More so than any other.

9. Oh, I know... that was awful.
Sometimes I think that being a crime scene investigator might be interesting, until they do things like that...

12. That re-creation scene
was definitely disturbing. But the producers DO put a disclaimer on most of the episodes to remind people that the show is not for children or other young viewers.

I wasn't sure about CSI when it first hit the airwaves. But after watching just a couple of episodes, I was transfixed. It's disturbing to see some things which go on, but I would rather be exposed to the wide litany of bizarreness that CSI shows instead of confronted with some situation out of the blue.

Personally, I think CSI: Miami depicts far more violence and graphic scenes than TOS.

13. They've all had their moments. I love them. My 15 year old watches, but
not my 6 year old. This one was just hell to watch though. :(
