CSI: Miami - fpw - 06-13-2004
This has become must-see TV on Monday nights in my house.
Take David Caruso at his most pretentious. Add some of the worst dialogue ever written. Then have the former mouth the latter with grave portent and Shatneresque pauses, and you've got yourself a good time.
The stories are ofen gripping, and that saves the show from complete self-parody, but who writes the dialogue? (Unless Caruso the auteur is writing his own.)

I thought you were going to tell me this show was good. :eek: I tried watching it once and every time David Caruso spoke my ears started bleeding and I had what the doctor called "mini-seizures." Man! That guy is HORRIBLE in that show. I missed the first season of NYPD Blue which he was on. I heard he was actually a good actor then. What happened? Did his EGO swell up to gigantic size and crush the part of his brain which has the "acting ability"?

Ha. If it's that bad I may have to give it a try. I enjoy Andromeda and Beastmaster for much the same reasons. David Caruso is so hideous, though. Hopefully he won't show his butt again!

OMG, those were hideous! The Lost World I can actually stomach.

Hmmm. I hope my final arguments don't come off to juries like that! I've always pictured myself as a cross between Perry Mason and Socrates, but then I may be biased (or delusional). :confused:

Andromeda is my favorite series. I bought DVD Box-set. But I never saw Beastmaster.
Anyway, CSI:Miami is ......actually, I've never seen Miami version. I saw CSI:Lasvegas. Did you see it?

Well, dadburnit, Biggles. I picture you as Henry Drummond in INHERIT THE WIND. With better galluses, of course.

After I saw the YouTube clips of Caruso's delivery, I've been catching up on CSI: Miami on A&E. He's hilarious. He adds a bizarre zen-wannabe quality to the show that somehow works, at least for me. Of course, the real star of the show is his sunglasses. :p

Now he just makes my medula oblongata twitch.

Now I'm watching "CSI:Miami" season 2 every week. Some episodes are pretty good. But as for characters, I prefer Grissom & Catherine in "CSI:Las Vegas".
