I'm a complete sucker for FBI/Profiling programs, so when I heard about CM, I was ready to give it a chance. The actors and characters got me glued to it forever.
As for Patinkin. *sighs* He abandoned another show I loved, Dead Like Me, and in so abandoning it, the show itself was canceled. The only thing I like him in anymore is The Princess Bride, and primarily because I'd read the book and felt he was a perfect fit for Inigo. For CM reruns, I purposely skip over most of the season 1 and 2 episodes--I've seen each three or four times anyway. I much prefer Mantegna, no matter how many times I've seen the episodes, but that mostly comes from a long-held bias. *g*
