My wife watches it so when i've been there I usually watch it with her. I don't have anything to compare it agaisnt since this is the first season i've watched, but i really enjoy it. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 that are definitly worth sitting down for an hour and checking out.

I gave up on Without A Trace the same reason I just gave up House, and the same reason I gave up CSI, etc: the episodes follow the same pattern every show. I find after a season or two, it gets boring and monotonous.

I wish they'd get rid of the Roselyn Sanchez character (Elena Delgado). I know she was added for "eye candy". But she doesn't do anything for me.

And everytime she says anything I have to pause mentally to process what she said through her thick accent.

It's still a solid show, however the last episode that aired on 3/9 about an agorophobic that goes missing was probably the worst episode that has ever aired. I could not believe my eyes when the end had Danny and Jack singing "That's Amore!" If there is any episode to delete, it's that one.

It's pretty solid, I like Jack and Viv. Martin is an idiot, I'd have sanchez over his character. Danny is the humour in the show.

I did like how in the last ep, Sam was called in, and told Viv she was just eating a salad, and asked how long the person was missing, viv responds 5 hours, and Sam says. I'm going back to my salad.

The only case they had with a legit need for the FBI this season was I think the one where the kid was taken 2 weeks ago, it happened with witnesses etc.

Normally I feel they are called in way to quick, and with the last ep agora lady, as soon as they found out she paid someone to help take her from the apartment they'd be done with the case.

While I agree with that, I certainly think there's an argument to be made that nearly every drama on television follows some sort of similar pattern on a weekly basis. It's just a matter of how they handle it and how you tolerate it.

I'm getting a little tired of the pattern of House, but have yet to do so with either this or CSI.

That was one of my favorites. A change of pace is good every so often.
I think the show is still solid.

Every one of CBS' crime dramas follow the same exact pattern, just with a twist. The CSI's are identical except for the characters, NCIS is the same but with a naval theme, Without a Trace is the same but with a missing persons twist, and Cold Case is the same but uses an old case. It is maddening when you choose to focus on it, but some of those shows are still pretty entertaining from time to time.
