Murder 5 U.S.

[123everton]

Am I getting old or is it in genuinely bad taste to create a gameshow whereby the contestants have to deduce who did a murder from a re-enacted crime scene of a real murder?
They have to see if they get the one who was ultimately convicted for it?
Imagine it, someone murders your brother and a few years later it's on the tele, Sue from Surbiton guesses correctly and wins a holiday to Torremolinos...
I'm appalled.

I hate most forms of reality TV with the exception of Celbrity Strictly Come Dancing (don't judge me!) and I think this is just another form of that. I have to say that I've seen the adverts for this and thought much the same as you.

I've watched and enjoyed CSI but I don't understand this spin off from it at all. For a start how on earth can they deduct anything using techniques from a TV program and secondly what's the pont? Whether it's tasteful or not I've not decided but I am on the verge of indifference.

I'm sure there was a program recently in which the 'prize' was a baby. Basically like pop idol but more parent idol with some girl who was giving up her baby at the end of her pregnancy. Now that I found pretty distasteful.

The baby show was in Holland and apparently it was a set up, they were making a point about something or other.
I have to admit I did'nt watch the show (I read the review in the Metro, who liked it) it's not for me so I won't be tuning in.
BTP, but is it a sign that I'm getting old?
:-(

No idea m'dear. I'm 29 and I find the whole thing ridiculous too so I don't think so... But then maybe I'm old too!
