Spike TV plans to make CSI fans put their money where their mouth is with the new reality production, Murder: Real People Solving Real Crimes. On this show, participants are given access to crime scenes, present at actual autopsies and presented with real clues... and are given the opportunities to solve murders.It isn't clear, from the promo spots and Spike web site, whether or not these murders are already solved, and the contestants merely have to repeat the outcome, or if these are new crimes. The one commercial I saw showed participants grossing out during an autopsy. I'm guessing much of the grime and gristle of crime is going to come to a shock of CSI fans. CBS's series of crime solving shows heavily sanitizes and over-dramatizes the hard work of working in homicide. The hard working men and women off our county's homicide departments don't have the glamorous working conditions we see on TV (well, maybe Law & Order comes close), so it is nice to see a slice or reality on the TV schedule. We'll see if people actually tune in to watch it.
