    Episode 9x10 - 'Match Made in Hell' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    In true CSI form, the culprit was someone they had already interviewed. Does it really take a trained police officer to figure out that a "club" where you pay thousands of Dollars to meet women is nothing more than a prostie ring? C'mon...CSI: Lake Okeechobee could have figured that out...

    Season 9 Ratings Thread

    If you're in your 40's like me, you might recall there was a chapter in Douglas Couplands book Generation X called, "I Am Not A Target Market." Except you probably are. The younger demos are more influenced by advertising. While there may be some who try and build loyalty across all markets...

    Cancellation of a CSI series

    I've always supposed they didn't keep her because it was too much NYPD Blue with her and Caruso. And wasn't that a NBC show? :lol:

    Season 11 Spoiler Pic Thread

    FWIW, that was at the airport in Casablanca. My favorite noir train station scene is from Billy Wilder & Raymond Chandler's Double Indemnity (Fred MacMurray & Barbara Stanwyck). It's all good. ;)

    Season 7 Ratings

    I respectfully disagree here. While there was occasional "tension" between them, there was never any indication the realtionship would get romantic. It would ruin the "tension" as much as the Ericallegih fiasco has ruined CSIM. Mac is Mac. He goes by the book, 99% of the time, meaning an...

    CSI & USA Network

    Yes, I will admit there was some perverse pleasure is being able to watch CSI, then just leave the channel unturned for one of those marvelous shows, such as Deadliest Warrior, Blue Mountain State (easily the crappiest, most blatantly offensive TV show of the last 5 years), and my personal...

    CSI: Crime City on Facebook

    I just upgraded all my equipment, and it doesn't seem like there is any advantage, still takes the same amount of time. And I have so much coffee built up, I may need a liver transplant. ;) It's a fun waste not time, but not terribly intellectual...click on a few tiles and see what happens...

    CBS Shifts 'Blue Bloods', 'Defenders'

    I may go have to buy a bottle of Jim Beam to understand all these changes...and to keep track of them.

    Eric/Calleigh storyline -- why we dislike it. Part 2 **spoilers**

    In the universe of "on-screen" romances, this one has been a dud from day one. I just don't see any spark that has come out of this. There are always issues of mistrust. And let's be honest--getting lovey-dovey while trying to solve a murder is just a dose of lye. Is there some social taboo...

    William/Grissom: Of CSI & Beyond #14

    Wow! Dexter meets Gil Grissom meets Morgan Earp meets John Adams. :lol:

    Cancellation of a CSI series

    As I've said elsewhere, LV is going on Season 11, Miami is on 9 IIRC. By comparison: 1. Seinfeld lasted 8 seasons, and 1 of those seasons was only 5 episodes, 1 was only 10. 2. MASH lasted 10 seasons. 3. Friends lasted 9 seasons. 4. Cheers lasted 10 seasons. All of these shows had...

    Interesting. Since I have the week off, I'll have to check it out.

    CSI Miami Is New CBS Disposable?

    TV shows are "ordered" by a network. A production company pays for the costs of the programming, and the network pays for & acquires exclusive rights to air the show. Sometimes the network and the production company are one in the same. The network airs the show, hoping to make money by...

    CSI Miami Is New CBS Disposable?

    I don't believe this is correct. Anthony Zuiker went out of his way to ensure the show's independence after it was passed on by ABC. The show is produced by Alliance Atlantis. CBS has a residual interest from the original CSI which was pitched to Paramount, which is now owned by Viacom, who...

    Eric/Calleigh storyline -- why we dislike it. Part 2 **spoilers**

    Without calling out a particular shipper: If this is true, these people have to be some of the saddest people around. To spend hour after hour hitting the button on an internet poll...just so you can see Rodriguez and Procter playing tonsil hockey again? On an alleged "crime solving" show...

    9x06 - "Reality Kills" - **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    CBS treats this show like an unwanted guest--move it to compete with Sunday football (on 2 networks), get rid of new plot ideas, don't give it any time slot protection...what a cop out (pun intended). Sorry, this was an average episode with some decent plot twists, which lost all relevance...

    "Fracked" Discussion **SPOILERS**

    A good episode, reminds me of the CSIM episode about the cattle company polluting the local waters, and us vs. them episode. I don't see the hatred for Katee Sackhoff: she is one of the independent detectives, and rightfully has a swagger about her character, as does Brass, Just in a bit of a...

    CSI:NY in danger of cancellation.....

    I don't personally believe CSINY is on the chopping block. The execs @ CBS are generally stupid, but they wouldn't kill a horse like CSINY...the ratings are too good, especially in the time slot they gave it. It's true that people go out on Friday night, but the two-hour slot with CSINY and...

    Grade 'Scared Stiff'

    Overall, a fun installment. I guess this was their "spooky-Halloween" show, with ghosts and morticians and all that creepy stuff. Well acted, tho I detected a heavier southern twang in Jo this week. Sela needs to get the accent down better, or at least explain it as "I'm tryin' to be a New...

    CSI Miami Is New CBS Disposable?

    I agree that the canceling of the latest CSIM was a total douchebag call on the network's part...but: --it's clear that football ratings dominate their current world view. The Chiefs'/Raiduzz game was, in their minds, an archetype. There was 0% chance they would broadcast anything but that...
