CSI is fake. I dont think forensic experts go out of their way to catch criminals. They just do the work and let the police detectives do their own thing.
I dont have a problem with a doctor being as smart as House. I have a problem believing that a doctor with his methods wouldnt get his ass fired on the spot.

But the show references that he does get sued alot and he doesnt necessarily do anything bad. He usually saves everybody, and if they die, it was unavoidable. He's just a dick.
I dont know anything about diagnostic medicine to know if its true or not. Supposedly House is based on real cases. I think out of both of them House is alot more true to what might happen than CSI will ever be.
That is what is suppose to happen in real life, they deal with the scene and evidence then give it all to the Detectives to carry on, and the Detectives are the only ones that actually talk to the suspects from there on apparently.

Yeah, there is a show called The First 45 and its about how homicide detectives have roughly 45 hours to catch the suspect and if it goes beyond that its very unlikely that they will.
It follows the detectives and mostly all the episodes they catch the criminals, or find out about them by witnesses. Barely any of them involve any sort of hard physical evidence feature in CSI. Maybe something to do with prints but nothing like CSI.
In CSI, they have guns. Forensic experts might have guns, but never use them. Also, they dont talk to suspects, or go the houses to catch them. They stick around a crime scene for days, and then stick in the lab for days also.
CSI is good for one show, but after that its done, and shit. Law And Order is more real than CSI.

Other than a few medical terms, there is nothing similar to House and how an actual MD practices medicine. I've watched that show a few times with my Uncle, whom is an MD. There were times where my Uncle said that Houses' patients would have been dead from how he treated their illness, lol

and it is FICTION, so let's not nitpick, and enjoy it because it's an entertaining and well made show.
The actress who plays Catherine Willows is apparently leaving at the end of her contract this year. She doesn't want to carry on the role after her contract runs out. Shame, that will be my second favourite character gone now, after Sara.
