I'm a fan of the TV show CSI. Every week within 47 minutes a horrendous crime or two is solved in Las Vegas thanks to these geeks. As an aside hasn't everyone in Vegas worked out that staying their is likely to get you killed in a bizarre fashion? But I digress. There's always the requisite gore and pseudo-scientific riff backed by an appropriately funky music track. There's not a criminal these guys can't nail.

I am also very partial to The Sopranos. One of the best written and acted shows on TV it follows the life and times of a Capoin the New Jersey Mafia. These guys literally get away with murder as well as the usual activities associated with the "waste management business".

So why not put one up against the other? It's like when you get those comic-book crossovers and Spider-Man teams up with Batman to fight off some menace. It's really not clear to me who could win such a contest. The Mob are experts but so are the CSI crew, even if they import their Miami cousins. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: My brother Paul, who by a cruel twist of IT department fate is now blocked from seeing this website* has made this suggestion: "The Sopranos meets Friends, in which a wise crack by one of the Friends turns out to deeply offend Tony Soprano, who in turn kills each of the friends, thus ending that series and making the world a better place. Follow up sequels could include Queer Eye for the Soprano Guy and ER meets the Sopranos in which the bodies of the Queer Eye guys are sent to the hospital and are completely made over."

_{*any ideas how he can get it via PDA much appreciated}
