Some shows capture that New York vibe with a few key scenes.<p>An increasing number of television shows are being shot entirely in New York City. This can be partially attributed to a 35% tax credit incentive that was announced recently. Shows such as ABC's <I>Ugly Betty</I>, which were formerly shot exclusively in Los Angeles, have moved their production to New York City. A total of 15 primetime series will be shooting entirely in the Big Apple this fall. Other shows, such as <I>CSI: New York</I>, still do most of their filming in Los Angeles, visiting New York several times a year to film exterior scenes.<p><font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> (Mac Taylor) and <font color=yellow>Melina Kanakaredes</font> (Stella Bonasera) were in the Big Apple recently, filming a key scene for <I>New York</I>'s upcoming season premiere. "After five seasons, we've done the Empire State Building, we've done the Brooklyn Bridge and we've done all these iconic locations, so now we've moved to the historical," executive producer <font color=yellow>Pam Veasey</font> told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.nydailynews.com/index.html">NY Daily News</a>. The premiere will feature the abandoned High Line track in the West Village.<p>"When we come to New York to shoot, we always try to find something that's iconic," director <font color=yellow>Bob Bailey</font> explained. "A lot of people don't even know the High Line exists." The elevated rail deck is 22 blocks long and was operated from 1929 until 1980. The High Line carried milk, meat and produce, as well as raw and manufactured goods, to warehouses and factories.<p>In the <I>CSI: NY</I> premiere, a mimosa plant provides evidence that might lead Mac and his team to the location of an elusive kidnapper. "The plant is part of the clue system because the track's soil and the dirt are very specific to when the trains were running here," Veasey said. "So it has specific traits."<p>The original article is from <A class="link" HREF="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/08/17/2008-08-17_these_nyc_tv_shows_keep_it_reel.html?page=0">NY Daily News</a>. <I>CSI: New York</I>'s fifth season will premiere September 24 on CBS.<center></center>
 
I am confused as to whether CSI is using the mimosa TREE or the TickleMe Plant (Mimosa pudica). Does anyone know. Is there a clip showing the leaves of the plant. If they close when tickled or lower their branches it is a TickleMe Plant (Mimosa pudica):thumbsup: if not it is the Tree. As the tree only "sleeps" at night by closing its leaves...and the TickleMe Plant moves during the day and "sleeps" as well at night. I have grown both. They both have cool pink flowers too!
Can anyone suggest a website that may show the actual plant used before the premier on Sept. 24th. :)
Thanks
 
The info in this article is the only info I've seen about it - they didn't say 'tree', so maybe that indicates it's the plant. I'm not sure, though. Since it didn't seem to be in the promo pictures, I can't think of anywhere that would have pictures before the episode airs.
 
I hope you caught the premiere - they showed it up close, and it was the plant. :)
