<ul>[*]The current edition of Country Weekly features <font color=yellow>Robert David Hall</font> (Dr. Al Robbins) in the "I Love My Country" section, in which the original CSI actor talks about how his parents listened to classic artists like <font color=yellow>Mel Tormé</font>, <font color=yellow>Frank Sinatra</font> and Broadway showtunes and how when he first heard <font color=yellow>George Jones</font>, <font color=yellow>Hank Williams</font> and <font color=yellow>Johnny Cash</font>, he was instantly hooked. According to <font color=yellow>'jerispencerlvl3,'</font> who was kind enough to send this information to us, Hall also said that before turning to acting, he was briefly in several country bands.

[*]Jorja Fox Online has posted a great group shot of the entire cast of the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, taken at the 2005 Screen Actors Guild awards.

[*]Salon's <font color=yellow>Peter Birkhenhead</font> recently wrote about the stunning lack of a sex life that many of the leading men on TV seem to suffer from right now. "They're not just incapable of normal human interaction, they're disdainful of it," Birkenhead opined. "<font color=yellow>David Caruso</font>, who's made a fitful career out of disdain, doesn't even make eye contact on CSI: Miami. He delivers his lines like it causes him actual physical pain to relate to a mere human." As for Gil Grissom, Birkhenhead expressed his amazement that <font color=yellow>William Petersen's</font> character never seems to notice a "drop-dead gorgeous girl" like Sara Sidle. Thanks go out to <font color=yellow>Mel</font> for this!

[*]JustAdam.net has posted a new interview with <font color=yellow>Alsono Mayo</font>, the writer and director of the short indie film Keepers of the Past, which featured <font color=yellow>Adam Rodriguez</font> (Eric Delko).

[*]DavidCarusoFans.com continues adding new legacy articles about <font color=yellow>David Caruso</font> (Horatio Caine), including an old 1997 Salon article about Caruso's then-current career implosion, a 2001 roundtable discussion about his Session 9 project, and Playboy's 20 questions from 1994.

[*]A reader of the Florida Sun-Sentinel recently complained about not being able to understand CSI: Miami's dialogue, thanks to several actors apparently speaking "through clenched teeth and rarely [moving] their lips," but TV reviewer <Font color=yellow>Tom Jicha</font> replied that any problems with viewers not being able to hear the dialogue are likely not going to improve, as network executives don't consider it a problem.

[*]According to the Futon Critic, CBS has won a Promax & BDA Award in the category Program Promotion Campaign for the way it launched CSI: New York.

[*]<font color=yellow>Jan Segrest</font> at TV Squad recently complained about the unrealistically large amount of rain, trees and cold shown on CSI, considering the show is set in a desert region.

[*]Entertainment Weekly recently published an article about Emmy voters not liking crime shows.

[*]Speaking to the San Francisco Gate, Canadian singer <font color=yellow>Esthero</font> blamed the seven-year wait between her quarter-million-selling debut CD and her new album "Wikked Lil' Grrrls" on the addictive power of CSI. "<font color=yellow>Gary Dourdan</font> [Warrick Brown]," she said. "It's his fault. If he wasn't so becoming, if he was a little more homely, the record would have been finished a long time ago."[/list]<center></center>
