OK, does anyone else tune in to "CSI: Miami" just to see David "So Bad He's Good" Caruso and his mannerisms? The choreography of the sunglasses, the unusually placed pauses between words, the ultra-sensitive personal interest in the victim's loved ones? Not to mention his god-like ability to walk up to any other person working on the case and make *just* the right suggestion or observation that allows them to move forward. No one else would get anything done if not for "H"!

Hubby and I actually laughed out loud last night, though, after his initial exchange with Gary Sinise. To introduce the new "CSI: New York", we were asked to believe that he could walk right into a crime scene (that the other, local folks had just been dismissed from), present himself as CSI Miami, and gain access to all info and be included. No credentials, no questions asked. He could just up and leave Florida, fly up there without apparently letting any of the New Yorkers know he was coming, with the intent of knocking on the door of his suspect, alone. It was just too funny! Oh, and the dialogue? Not at all stilted. (/sarcasm)

But, hey, be sure to watch "CSI: New York"! It's different than Las Vegas and Miami! For instance, although their crime scenes seem to be no better lit than the other two locations, their lab is actually very bright, and the techs and CSI wear white lab coats! Sure, they've got the standard-issue tank top on underneath, but still... Yes, they're all as good-looking as usual, and they make even worse puns and plays on words, (all in good fun while discussing victims of hideous murders, dontchaknow) - but they BAG the DBs hands and print them back at the lab, rather than printing them on the scene! It's this kind of fascinating detail that will make the New York edition unique.

Though I admit, I have a hard time watching the CSIs much because of the gore factor...
