Back when CSI at least seemed to be plausible. I used to really enjoy CSI, I didn't even mind that Miami was quite cheesy, but at some point after they started New York all of them had gotten beyond ridiculous in their depictions of technology and what it was capable of, it was completely fantastical and seemed to lack any kind of basis on reality. Maybe it was also that I was getting older and having less time, but the CSI series were the first shows that despite watching somewhat religiously, I actually stopped watching in disgust and also feeling a bit angry at how useless the producers and/or screenplay writers had become.
