Forensic drama CSI: Miami has been named the world's most popular TV
show in a study of ratings in 20 countries.

I'd bet it was a US-based research company checking countries whose

towards US opinion too as they're the biggest market in the world.

Oddly, I feel better knowing that I'd never even heard of the
programme, never mind watched it.
