Ummmmm...How to put this gently.
...You fucking moron.
Yes, the show is unrealistic. They get advice from people who are CSIs, and they have a guy who did years with a police dept. I think it was the LVPD, too, but that doesn't make the show realistic. It doesn't hold true in terms of police procedure, the science involved (Especially since they need to keep it entertaining, which I understand), and even the show's makers, when confronted by the complaints of real CSIs,explained such. So you're ignoring the science, the actual police procedural rules, AND Bruckheimer's folks' own words.
Often times, leaps are made to speed up a plot; procedures are ignored to keep things moving, and science is fudged to keep things interesting. Every time Grissom comes to a conclusion on electrical science, I can pick up on his mistakes fast, given that I know electronics and electricity pretty damn well.
Getting input from the field doesn't make this any more realistic than Stargate (Who get input from the Air Force AND NASA), and it doesn't make it any different than Braveheart (BASED on a true story...).
I know you then backtracked and defended it by syaing "well it's just a show," But you said something incredibly fucking stupid. Not to mention, whenthe show pushes itself on the scientific aspects as a heavy vehicle, people will complain.
