    Value of CSI

    A new cast with a new backdrop in the same city sounds like another show CBS dug up from the grave and is attempting to revive, because they seem to have run out of ideas. Hint: "Book 'em Dan-O." :D

    Grade 'Sangre Por Sangre'

    Hmm, I thought it was a very good episode. The gangster out of prison, allegedly espousing peace seemed a reference to Al Pacino in Carlito's Way. And it was certainly better than the blatant shoot-em-up which was the episode about the IRA. Olmos has a "slow" acting style. Has ever since...

    What Caused The 'CSI' Ratings To Fall?

    I don't see any crime dramas on Thursday night that would compete with CSILV. On the other hand, the number of crime shows, both documentary and scripted dramas, has increased threefold since the show first premiered. There is so much to choose from now, viewers will gravitate to the sub-genre...

    Grade 'Damned If You Do'

    Just to be clear, foine is not Gaelic...it's "fine" the way Cyndi Lauper might say it. "Fine" in Gaelic is breá, while "handsome" in Gaelic is dathúil. And Eddie kills in this one...he's aggressive, witty, condescending, all the attributes you would expect in a NYC detective. A pretty good...

    Blue Bloods

    I got a little confused at the dinner table scene, trying to figure out who the kids were, the older blonde, etc.. As long as they don't flood the show with new characters every week ala The Wire, it looks pretty good.

    The Defenders

    It was surprisingly funny. Mainly because I think most of us in the U.S. can related to the campy law firms who advertise on TV. In L.A., it's Jacoby & Meyers. Here in Phoenix it's Bob Goldwater (aka Barry's nephew), who will happily sue someone for you if you've taken any pill stronger than...

    It should have been Eric

    As late as the "L.A." episode, more than half way into the season, they gave Jesse his own episode, with a supporting cast of Malcolm McDowell, Michael Madsen, Wiliam Forsythe, and directed by Rob Zombie. That's some pretty heavyweight talent to be "guests" on CSIM. Makes Lady Gag-a look like...

    Who misses Gil Grissom?

    Let's cut the guy a little slack. He trooped it out for nine seasons. That's a pretty lengthy tenure as the star of a top-rated scripted TV drama. By comparison: Jerry Seinfeld played himself for 9 seasons; Candace Bergen played Murphy Brown for 9 seasons; The 6 Friends were on 10 seasons...

    "Blood Moon" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    IIRC, there was also a CSIM episode "Sunblock" where the killer had porphyria, but was not a vampire. And one of the suspects even took injections of werewolf "essence." :eek:

    "Blood Moon" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    Agreed, it was an enjoyable episode. I would liked to have seen it written a little more campy, just my opinion. You always know CSILV is going to have a freaky twist at the very end. I believe the English vampire and the werewolf dude would have been tried on aiding and abetting a felony...

    "Blood Moon" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    Yes, I thought of this one, too. I wonder what is the werewolf equivalent of skritching? Maybe the infamous "ipecac & civet oil" will make a comeback. :evil:

    **Season Nine Spoiler Lab**

    Honestly, I prefer that Horatio not have a love interest. We already have one pseudo romance on the show, and there is no need for more of these "I loved her but she was flawed and got herself messed up in my complex life" Caine lasses. Keep Horatio on the crime, let Delko play out the...

    It should have been Eric

    Given the state of scripted TV dramas, this was probably as much an economic decision as one of outsized egos. And I suppose this isn't something that was decided overnight--you don't just excise an entire season's worth of Jesse, whose character was hyped all the time. Toss in the addition...

    Season 9 Ratings Thread

    In half the U.S., the game was done before CSIM started. Plus, the game wasn't very competitive, so there were plenty of reasons to change channels. In the Phoenix market, CSIM is on @ 9:00 p.m., pinning it against these heavyweight shows: Monk (WGN) Brothers & Sisters (ABC) News (local...
