    Wie kommt’s dass Du CSI nicht auf der Liste hast (mt welcher Bewertung auch immer)? Ich würde außerdem noch 30 Rock und “Up All Night” empfehlen.

      Nun, »CSI« steht nicht auf der Liste — ebenso wie »30 Rock« und »Up All Night« — weil ich nicht der Meinung bin, das deren Qualität ausreicht um hier gelistet zu werden. Andere Serien die hier gelistet sind haben’s auch nur hier hin geschafft, weil ich sie vorher noch nicht kannte — dementsprechend wurden sie aber auch von mir bewertet; z. B. »V«, »Portlandia« oder »Once Upon A Time«.

        Nicht Dein Ernst! 30 Rock und Up All Nigh sind doch genial! Naja. Geschmäcker und so. Wobei ich Dir bei CSI da durchaus recht gebe – hat mich nur gewundert weil es die Serie halt schon so lange gibt.

          Ok. CSI wird einzug in die Liste halten; habe Season 9 als Einstieg genommen um zu schauen wie sich Laurence Fishburne — und später Ted Danson — machen. Manche Folgen sind recht überzeugend.

    Und ja, ein Update der Liste steht an. Bald.
