Bodies of Evidence (TV series)

Bodies of Evidence was a syndicated American television series that aired from 1991 to 1993. It was a half-hour, dramatic anthology series that focused on forensic science and criminology. Each episode typically centered around a different case, often involving murder, and showcased the scientific methods used to investigate the crime and ultimately bring the perpetrator to justice.

The show's format presented simplified explanations of forensic techniques like blood spatter analysis, DNA testing, and fingerprinting. While fictionalized, Bodies of Evidence aimed to educate viewers about the evolving role of forensic science in law enforcement.

The series featured a rotating cast of actors, with no regular characters appearing in every episode. This anthology format allowed the show to explore a wide range of cases and forensic disciplines. While not a major primetime hit, Bodies of Evidence found a niche audience in syndication and contributed to the growing public interest in forensic science, which later fueled the popularity of shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
