Murder mysteries on television Options

Mhm, excuse me if this topic has been made before. I haven't been in debate lately.

Well, you see on Court TV and some other television programs that they show murder mysteries. If you don't know, then it's like a show where they tell you about some really big murder case and how they solved who killed who.
This question came up in my mind a few days ago: Should those shows be cancelled?
In my thoughts, I think yes, it should.
Why?
Because the program tells you HOW the person murders that person and WHAT exactly they did. If a serial killer is watching this, it could create some very brilliant ideas for them.
But the police solved this kind of murder already. What's the point of a killer copying what they saw on TV about a crime?
Well, chances are, they could watch more than one and then figure out a greater way to kill someone. >.> It's a possibility.

^ Criminals COULD take their ideas from a show. It could happen!

And if we're going to learn about what to do with strangers and all those junk to keep ourselves safe, we could learn by the police. They do teach children in school and they repeat the sameeee thingggg everyyyy year. >.> Off-topic. but yeah. Maybe if there weren't the shows in the first place, there wouldn't be criminals and stuff. Because then they wouldn't have anywhere to learn from these stuff in the first place.

It definately does happen. Statistically it has been proven that criminals are becoming more careful and definitely more clever since these shows have been on the air. Even so it still holds true though that MOST criminals are still...well... idiots.

but yeah. Maybe if there weren't the shows in the first place, there wouldn't be criminals and stuff. Because then they wouldn't have anywhere to learn from these stuff in the first place.[/size]

There wouldn't be criminals? Don't think so....from the begining of time there has been crime and there always will be reguardless of these shows. In fact because of these shows there has been a MAJOR expansion in the forensic science feild and this recent interest uncovers new technology that helps to make our society a safer place. Mind you nothing has significantly changed for the worse. There is no good reason to take them off the air, in fact like Domonic said, it would be disgusting to take off what little intelligent entertainment we have left.
