• Amazing Race - people, probably ones who escaped from the island in Survivor, flee pursuit while overseers with cameras record their crimes against the state
• Thursday Night Football - FFA - Future Felons of America
• CSI / Miami / New York - DNA always tells the truth
• Bluebloods - The elite Chief of Police presides over a nepotistic dynasty, as is right.
• Person of Interest - hackers can't escape from the loving all-seeing AI
• NCIS / Los Angeles / New Orleans / JAG - we'll get you if you fuck with the Navy.
• Two Broke Girls - occupy Brooklyn
• Two and a Half Men - perennial loser's son is one of the disappeared. Stay in line, don't let this happen to you.
• Hawaii Five O - again, don't fuck with the Navy.
• The Mentalist - we can read your mind, resistance if futile. And the police will lie and trick you.
• Mike an Molly - police officers are likable normal joes, not crazed thugs with pepperspray and tazers.
• The Good Wife - a party apparatchik leverages her political connections to get ahead.
• Madam Secretary - hey look, we're really good guys, we don't really want to bomb you. but you need bombing.
• Big Bang Theory - ok, I have to use my lifeline on this one...
• Scorpion - hackers can be good, too. They work for the State.
• Elementary - Winston Smith solves crimes for the police.
• Criminal Minds - that's you. There's no escape.

That's one way to force device driver writers to get their shit in order...
