I'm not watching this particular episode so I really can't comment on it, but on the whole I'd say it's above average TV (although that's damning with faint praise to some extent), at least based on the reruns I catch on late night cable.
It's formulaic at times but it's a comfortable formula, so that works pretty well.

CSI: Las Vegas and New York are quite good. Miami has the king of overacting David Caruso starring so that brings it down about 1000 notches. The blonde chick is damn hot though.

or the way she bends down over the blood covered dead body, in a white versace jumpsuit....

I had no idea that she was pushing 40. No kids though, about the only thing keeping her from being a serious MILF.

I like most of the CSI shows and will watch them occasionally, but I do think CSI:Miami is by far the worst of the bunch. Of course, I have an unnatural hatred for that howdy doody looking dude.

I've never seen any CSI shows, but I did like the Sports Guy's comment on them during his running diary of the Grammys... He wonders if the hooker population has about dried up, since it seems as if they are killed off weekly on CSI. :)

Only one show comes to mind...

Grey's Anatomy, plus living in Seattle where the show is supposedly at, adds a special tinge of hatred to me. Its the only show that the wife watches religiously. It blows harder then a hurricane.

isnt that just a soap opera at night?

I stopped watching CSI:Miami after about 3-4 shows.
Just ... can't ... stand ... Car ... uso (and his off-again, on-again sunglasses).

What cracks me up is every promo I see now for the show has big explosions and a lot of gunfire.
Isn't the show supposed to be about Crime Scene Investigations ... like, after the crime happened?

I can think of quite a few worse shows, and I'm not particularly into CSI Miami... to start with Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars (I'm sure you have that crap in the States as well), Survivor, American Idol.. hmm.. anyone see a pattern here?

I don't mind Caruso so much actually, but that show is horrible. I just can't watch it.

Although ER has got to be close to as bad now. At least it was getting to be that bad when I last watched it, and that was probably seven years ago. How long has that been on the air anyway?

Did anyone see the CSI: Miami where terrorists had a truck full of explosives and were heading to blow up a nuclear plant? Do the call in the army? no. Do they call in the FBI, nope...Who stops the terrorist threat but David Caruso with one well aimed shot from a sniper rifle. Who needs the army or homeland security when Captain Sunglasses is on the case.

I do like that Caruso left NYPD Blue to star in movies. They all realized he sucked, so he went BACK to a crime drama. Priceless stuff.

The blonde chick is damn hot though. If it's who I think it is, it is very easy to get a pic/clip of her up close and topless in some move with Ross from friends. I saw it on HBO, so it shouldn't be that hard to find.

Caruso acting tips...

Never raise your voice.
Keep the same calm and serious tone no matter what the topic.
Smiling is a mortal sin but if you must make sure the smile looks to be a forced and uneasy grimmace.
Do not look at the person you are talking to in the scene until you complete your statement.
Put sunglasses on at end of statement to add to dramatic affect.
Always remember, you are what makes the show successful so be ready to demmand the world of the producers for allowing them to watch your amazing talent on screen.

"It looks, like something, caught her." :cool:

We used to watch the original CSI every week, but even that couldn't get me to watch David Caruso act. And come to think of it, I've never seen a second of the other CSI either. Now we don't watch any of them, and I'm back where I was 10 or so years ago, watching New Detectives. Who needs fake drama when you can get the real thing?

We still watch the original CSI, but Caruso turned me and Mrs. E off to CSI Miami and I think CSI: Miami turned us off to CSI: NY.

Alright, how fucking awesome was the 2 parter that aired this week? Caruso just mows down like 10 brazillian gang members in cold blood. I know the show is pretty much exclusively camp value, but we're talking sharks with lasers camp value.

God damn it, how about a little spoiler warning next time?!?!?!?

Jeez, it's impossible to TiVo anything these days.

LOL...except the rule is "I before E except after C" :)

I was kind of watching last night and there was a scene where the kid who committed the crime du'jour turns himself in, and Horatio says, in his over dramatic fashion "take him him". I was cracking up...

not a fan of the Miami version at all-can't stand most of the cast the coroner lady most of all, the NY and Vegas versions are alright, but Gary Sinise gives Caruso a run for his money in awful acting.

Grey's Anatomy, plus living in Seattle where the show is supposedly at, adds a special tinge of hatred to me. Its the only show that the wife watches religiously. It blows harder then a hurricane.

I was at a hospital the other day, and there was a store that sold scrubs. No big deal -- I guess doctors and nurses need them, and some people buy them as pajamas. I get that. But, the pair that was displayed on the door pretty clearly said "Grey's Anatomy" on the tag. Seemed like weird branding.
