The wife and I can typically agree to watch anything on ID when we can find nothing else on TV. We watch it fairly frequently in fact - and due to the subject matter I may have reason to be getting somewhat nervous.

But anyway, just wondering if we're strangely unique or if there are others out there with a habit of turning it on. I put this in the bucket of Forensic Files - when nothing else is on, I tune in. Occasionally it can get repetitive, but not too much.

Its the most "bingeable" channel on TV.

True crime is awesome. I do hate the bad re-enactment ones though.

Whenever I hear Bill Kurtis narrating anything, I stop channel surfing.

I used to watch it all the time. Nowadays, I still watch every now & then, but...I dunno, maybe I just tune in at the wrong time, but I remember the programs being much darker & grittier than they are now. That's not to say shows about murder aren't dark, but they're too..."mainstreamy", if that makes sense?

Never have, but I set the DVR to record some episodes of "Murder Chose Me".

The show features former Shreveport Police homicide detective Rod Demery. I thought I would check it out, given the local angle.

If my wife isn't watching that channel, she's watching some sort of Law and Order.

I notice that the reenactment actors are always much more attractive than the actual criminals on those ID shows.

I'll be honest, Lt. Kenda scares the bajeebus out of me. They just had a new series about crimes of the 80s. Loved that.

I'll watch Dateline on ID and OWN. Forensic Files is still a good one

Used to watch it a lot. I used to watch On the Case with Paula Zahn, 48 Hours, Dateline, Behind Mansion Walls, The Will and a couple others I've forgotten.

I (almost) got away with it.

These were the two I forgot about.

they can't make new episodes without the original narrator. I only know it's forensic files when his pedophile sounding voice is talking to me.
