If you could pick one character from CSI:Miami to travel to another CBS show, which one would you choose and which show would you send them to? I got to thinking this a couple weeks ago as I was watching Hawaii 5-0; wouldn't it be neat if Horatio were to show up there for an episode? Granted, Hawaii 5-0 appears to be in the NCIS universe so it may not be possible logically but visual-wise, Miami was very similar to H50. It'd be most probable with the other two CSIs for me, so I wouldn't mind seeing Horatio on CSI:NY again for an episode or even Calleigh on CSI consulting on a national case that has a Florida connection. So which would you choose and where? A quick reference of the current CBS procedural dramas: NCIS NCIS: LA The Mentalist Elementary Blue Bloods Criminal Minds CSI CSI:NY Person of Interest Vegas Hawaii 5-0 Unforgettable Made in Jersey (which appears to have been cancelled already) Also, another question to ponder perhaps: If one of the Miami characters were to permanently travel to another CBS show, would it be a good idea and would you watch?
*Blows dust off of the TalkCSI account* What an excellent question! Since Miami's been off the air, truthfully, I haven't really thought about the show or the characters ( except to say that Calleigh Duquesne will look mightily out of place on White Collar:shifty. I always thought that the Miami crew was a solitary lot but if we are playing the devil's advocate, I'd have to say that Horatio has a warm spot in New York (CSI NY). I won't kid myself or others and speculate how the crew would mingle with say, The Mentalist because let's face it, CBS screwed Miami and aside from Elementary, I don't watch CBS. I will throw out a freebie though. If Speed lived, I'd say he'd go great with Sherlock and Watson.
I like your idea, Finch--Horatio going to Hawaii would be nice, though I don't know how they would pull that off now that CSI: Miami is cancelled. If any of the cast would appear on any of the other CBS shows, I would totally watch, even if I don't watch that particular program. If they time-travelled, the Vegas folks could visit the current Las Vegas on CSI. Plus, I'm still waiting for the Blue Bloods/CSI: NY crossover. It totally makes sense--Mac & Frank need to meet! Then Horatio could make a quick trip back to NYC and work a case with Mac again. Anni Grey--I heard that Emily Procter was guest-starring on White Collar. Do you know when her episode airs?
I've just recordered the first 10 episodes from Blue Bloods, season one. So, I can't compare it with other shows. But I always liked the crossovers CSI:Miami-CSI:NY. If I may have a dream, it would be great to see Horatio back in NY. And perhaps for more than one episode.
I'd choose Speedle and it would be CSI: NY. I'd love to see Speed and Danny working together, that'd be fun.
