Rating the cop dramas from this week

I've got my four shows that are must-see TV: Law & Order:SVU, Criminal Minds, CSI:NY, CSI:. After watching this week's episodes, I have rated them thusly.

Criminal Minds: Typical episode for them. A slight tweak with the team split on two different cases. Nothing really out of the ordinary with either case. A nice surprise at the end to lead to future storylines.

CSI: Guest stars out the wazoo. Katey Sagal, who I will admit is still looking good, as the sitcom star found murdered. Tons of corny jokes throughout the episode. A few appeared to be inside jokes. The revelation of the suspect and cause for death was kinda weak, but the slight twist involving others was nice.

SVU: Crazy ordeal after finding a woman murdered. The fiance' was the prime suspect, then the guy's father, then both. And in true SVU fashion, a nice twist to reveal the real killer and a revelation that the killer was under their noses the whole time. Almost got away with it, too. And the ending, wow.

CSI:NY: The running storyline of the killer cabbie has been intriguing. Last week's episode hinted at a member of the crew being the next victim. Turns out, that was a swerve. Sort of. Now it's even more personal. Next week's episode looks like it will rock.

Speaking of next week, SVU looks to pull out all the punches. Corruption, cover-up and more. CSI:NY, already mentioned how awesome it looks to be. CSI: revisits Warrick's recent indiscretion with a stripper and the club owner that nearly ruined his life. Looks like some ruining is coming back.
