Dude you can't leave off Law and Order, that's the original crime drama right there. :/ 20+ seasons and its one of the most successful and well-received TV series ever.
I do love me some NCIS though, great show.

NCIS. In addition to the serious business that's going on in the show, there's some good humor in it too. CSI (all series) comes in at a close second.

SVU has the best cast out of any of the Law and Order's, and Crime shows in General. Ice-T. 'Nuff said. Actually Dr. Wong is my favorite, he can make you think you're a giraffe.

CSI (Las Vegas preferably, but the other ones are good), NCIS, and Criminal Minds are all Crime Dramas that I watch and enjoy.

Hmmm I don't like modern crime dramas. My favorite crime drama is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes because I like Sherlock Holmes. I have not seen the new Sherlock Holmes series yet but I have watched clips on Youtube and it seems very good.

This poll is invalid without Law and Order. No, I don't even watch that show, but making a poll without L&O? XD Just no.
Anyways, I love, love, love Castle, but I gotta hand it to NCIS: the show just rocks, and I mean really rocks. 7 seasons of awesome kickassery, and counting.

Life On Mars because it didn't take the seriousness over the top all the time and I think it captured the 70s quite nicely (I love the 70s which helped me enjoy it a lot more). Not that I would know of course, seeing as I wasn't alive then; but I think the setting was pulled of really well and I enjoyed it a lot even if it wasn't 100% realistic. All of the characters were very good aswell, and I value characters very high (if not highest) on my list of what makes a good show. Too bad it was so short.

Well, I have a load of favourites. For different reasons:
The Mentalist: Clever how the murder/whatever pans out, and how Jane gets to the conclusion of who is the murderer/culprit.
Lie To Me: Cal Lightman's various games and how he knows when people are lying. Awesome to me, and he uses this to his advantage to make anyone tell him what he needs to know.
Castle: Similar to the Mentalist, however also adding how Castle's family provide humor and sometimes helpful hints in the cases.
Criminal Minds: How the profile is so accurate, and how each character reacts. Shame Gideon left, as he was one of the most interesting characters. They often also toy with the culprit (such as Hotchner beating Dr Reid up just to gain an unsubs trust to get him to be disarmed), though still follow the rules (unlike the previous entries)
Life On Mars: Vendak summed that one up

From this list, Bones, though NCIS is a close second. I also love the Law and Order series, however.

Criminal Minds is good but I haven't really got stuck into it yet.
Really like Lie To Me. A very good direction to go with a show. I've only tuned in for a few episodes but they're enthralled me each time I've watched them.

I would have to say Dexter or Bones. Not sure if Dexter would count though.
Oh, nearly forgot Lie To Me is epic.
