Violent TV shows
 

I want to get a popular opinion poll to rank the most violent show on television today...any ideas?

Cable, network, or sydnication??

Network I'd go with Alias, lots of hand to hand fighting and lots of gunplay, occasional deaths.

"Emeril" makes me violently ill, does that count?

Seriously, shows like "NYPD Blue" and "Law & Order" show the aftermath of violence more than the violence itself. I can't attest to the L&O spinoffs, because I haven't seen them. Doesn't "ER" have a lot of violence? There's always someone getting stabbed, shot, beaten, raped, etc., isn't there? I'm not a regular viewer, but it seems every time I watch it, there's violence.

How 'bout anything WWF?

Or Weakest Link? If looks could kill...

:D

I guess either network or syndication, anything I can record would be useful. I saw Alias the first week when there were no commercials (that was a breath of fresh air). That was pretty graphic, and I was shocked at what they did to her fiancee, no holds barred!
WWF gets mentioned a lot but can you classify it with violence like shows with gunfights and lots of bloody assaults?

Anyone know how to make all the different smiley faces? I've never used them.

I definitely think the WWF should be included. It may be 'cartoony' but the show is basically 100% about violence. The characters solve their issues by fighting with and without weapons, commit revenge crimes, and it does get bloody.

I can't think of any TV show that regularly shows 'bloody assualts;' and a gun fight lasts a few seconds and is usually sans blood.

CSI also shows- in graphic detail- the aftermath of violence; mostly decaying corpses with flesh eating beetles crawling on them.

Yummy!!

I've seen a couple of shows -- don't remember anything like that.

The itchy and scratchy show!!!!

i would say the Sopranos by a mile ! some of the violence shocked even me

NBC Nightly News?
