Yes, I admit it. The A&E show, The First 48 is not actually part of the CSI franchise. It’s not even a fictional show. But with the writers’ strike in full force, we are running out of new episodes of our favorite CSI shows to watch. In case you are open to an alternative show to entertain you until the new CSI shows return, The First 48 is a very good show about real detectives investigating real crimes.
The premise is that the first 48 hours of an investigation are the most critical. Statistics show that if a crime is not solved within that first 48 hours, the chances of solving it go way down. I like this show and think you might enjoy it too. Here’s a clip of an actual Miami investigation that would possibly challenge Horatio’s team:
A&E’s Real Life Series, The First 48, will return for its seventh season on Thursday, January 10 @ 10PM/9c. And here’s the synopsis for the premiere show:
In Memphis, Sergeant Connie Justice investigates the murder of a 32-year-old tattoo artist shot to death during a robbery. The victim’s husband, who survived the robbery, only knows the suspects’ nicknames.
Armed with stencils of tattoos the customers received before the robbery, Sergeant Justice must identify and track down the multiple suspects.

I love this show!!! It is captivating to watch how the detectives put the case together and how they are able to get people to talk even when they are apprehensive. It is one of the most up to date investigation show that has ever been produced thus far.

The First 48 is the best show on TV, even in re-runs. It does get anymore real.
Scripted stuff does not come close.
