Forensic Files not only features revolutionary science, which has put guilty criminals behind bars as well as released innocent men from prison, it has also revolutionized television, sparking tons of imitators and inspired a wealth of fiction shows.
It has even changed the way our court system works by making jurors more aware of forensics. It's become the back bone of my favorite lazy day channel, Court TV, and they continue to produce new episodes that never loose their ability to enthrall.
Peter Thomas's narration is impeccable (although Paul Winfield of City Confidential is still my favorite) and no one can say no to dramatic reenactments. Forensic Files has been airing since 1995 (it was then called Medical Detectives and aired on TLC).
But what do you think?
