Take CSI (the bad parts) and mash it into ER (also the bad parts).
I find it insulting on an intellectual and a professional level. I mean, they took a swab, fed it into a computer, and then all these pictures of bacteria started flashing across the screen. A mix of EM images and Gram Stains. What the holy crap is up with that.
They actually used the line, "Now you're thinking like an epidemiologist".
And they have been mispronounciing bacterial species names.
Soon there are going to be legions of teenagers who think they know what it means to be a microbiologist/epidemiologist just because they've watched a TV show. Mark my words, this show is going to do to my field was Agent Dana Scully did to forensic science.
