My problem with them as well. After a while, I just start playing a game with myself - how long before the lead character gets the "AH-HAH" moment and will I figure it out before they do? (Hint? it's usually the first person they suspect of doing the crime, everyone else tends to be a red-herring).
Will give soap opera writers credit for being more imaginative and less formulaic writers than procedurals. One begins to wonder after a while if they were all given the same template or boilerplate script - with the statement: This is how you write a procedural, please do not write or color outside of the lines.
