Do I have what it takes to write for CSI shows?

After watching a few DVD boxsets of CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI NY, I now feel qualified to write for the show. Here's my outline of every show for the next five seasons:

1. Introduce crime in the context of some new trend, fad or technology so I can look hip and cutting edge.

2. Make sure criminal leaves obscure piece of evidence.

3. Have one of the CSIs accuse suspect of crime. If it’s David Caruso or Gary Sinise, they must never be wrong.

4. Suspect responds in uppity manner. Make sure he/she says “If you don’t have any evidence, then we’re done here.” Then storms off.

5. Go back to the crime scene and find more obscure evidence.

6. Cue montage of CSIs examining stuff.

7. Have one of the CSI mention that they are really scientists.

8. Find “smoking gun” evidence using ridiculously specialized equipment and jumps in logic.

9. Have CSIs personally catch the criminals without the aid of police.

10. CSIs will explain the evidence to the criminal.

11. Criminal will confess and fill in any holes in the story.

Did I miss something?

Well, you probably have no expertise in Forensic Science so you are probably over qualified ...

If you're writing for CSI: Miami, don't forget the necessary "Sunglasses/Hands on Hips" acting cues for David Caruso.

Sarcasm aside, do you actually enjoy the series?
