CSI Files
Captain
<font size="3">Hello World!</font>
Every year I usually give a couple of new shows a chance. This year my new shows were Skin and Tarzan...the former because of its loose adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, the latter because of, well, <font color=yellow>Lucy Lawless</font> and <font color=yellow>Travis Fimmel</font>.
They've both been cancelled already. Is it me, or have this fall's offerings been even worse than usual?
I can't blame the reality show trend, as there are fewer now than there were several months ago. It's not just the new shows either: West Wing is depressing, 24 is boring me, and Smallville has way too much Lana and way too little Lex.
How many CSI clones are there at present, anyway? And how many versions of Law & Order will people put up with? Is it just that people like what's familiar? When will someone come up with a drama as innovative as X-Files was when it first came on the air?

<ul>[*]Tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, CBS will show "Big Brother" on CSI Miami. Here is TV Guide's synopsis of the episode:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Horatio learns disturbing details about his brother Ray's 2000 murder when a woman shows up with Ray's illegitimate child and a husband who may be linked to the crime; a man ends up dead after soliciting a woman via the Internet.</font></blockquote>
[*]Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, CBS is will show the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "After the Show". TV Guide's synopsis states:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Catherine takes the lead in finding a missing model, believed to be dead, after the prime suspect insists on talking only to her. The news doesn't sit well with Sara and Nick, who each hope to use the case to improve their chances of getting a promotion.</font></blockquote>
[*]Friday night at 11 p.m. Eastern Time, Spike TV will broadcast the CSI rerun "Table Stakes". TV Guide's episode summary is as follows:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Grissom and Catherine investigate when the body of a leggy brunette is discovered floating in the mansion's pool. Their suspicions soon focus on the brash couple, Patrick and Amanda Haynes (Shawn Christian, Elizabeth Lackey), who hosted the party and are house-sitting for the absent owner. They claim the former entertainer, now a wealthy older woman, is vacationing in Europe and can't be reached, but Grissom and Catherine aren't so sure. Also, Warrick combs for clues when a man is gunned down, possibly by a hit man, in a hotel elevator.</font></blockquote>
