“There’s a real ‘80s and even ‘70s throwback feeling. You get a kind of ‘Barney Miller’ feel with it. It’s not quite so grim and static and monotone and dour as a lot of crime shows,” says Michael Weatherly, right, shown with costars Cote de Pablo, left, Pauley Perrette and Sean Murray.

Michael Weatherly has a penchant for ad-libbing during filming. Of the show’s robust viewership, he quips: “There are psychics all over town going, ‘Didn’t see that coming! Hard to call.’” (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
