With 50 million viewers around the world, CSI:Miami ranks above Lost, Desperate Housewives and even franchise original CSI:Crime Scene Investigation, according to a survey by business research firm Informa Telecoms & Media.
“For me, the exciting part of that is that it opened some doors for us to go and embrace the audience around the world, literally, and physically be there.” <font color=yellow>David Caruso</font> (Horatio Caine) said. “And Brazil is just the beginning.”
“It is my fervent wish – knock on wood – that we continue to travel foreign because it was great for us and a very comfortable fit and appropriate to who we are,” <font color=yellow>Caruso</font> said. “I feel it is key to who we are, which is why we’ve been embraced. In a funny way, ‘CSI:Miami’ is ‘CSI:Rio’ and ‘CSI
ubai’ and ‘CSI:Berlin.’ Miami itself is a very international place, and one of the things we’ve been able to do is capture the international flair of the world of Miami.”
<font color=yellow>Caruso</font> and show co-creator <font color=yellow>Ann Donahue</font> came face to face with the international power of CSI:Miami in April when they were invited to a reception in Cannes, France hosted by Alliance Atlantis International Television, which distributes the franchise globally. The event, part of the largest trade show for TV programming, introduced <font color=yellow>Caruso</font> and <font color=yellow>Donahue</font> to buyers who wanted to persuade <font color=yellow>Donahue</font> to film in their countries. That enthusiasm inspired <font color=yellow>Caruso</font> and <font color=yellow>Donahue</font> to go global with their storytelling. To their surprise, CBS and Paramount promptly approved the request. The writers selected Brazil because the show had already established a story there.
CBS President <font color=yellow> Nina Tassler</font> said the network would consider letting Horatio travel again given what the Rio trip produced. “The footage they brought back is just gorgeous. It just took your breath away.”
