C.S.I

Go on Ted, you start it....I've a few posts up my sleeve

[Moos]

Sheesh, guys, no need for this obviously rehearsed 'Hey kids, let's put on the show right here!' banter. Just start the thread, don't be ashamed.

I think CSI cannot really survive the loss of Grissom - it's one major character - the major character - too many to leave. Apparently CSI Miami is the most watched TV show in the world - even though some of the plots have been truly ludicrous and David Caruso and Emily Proctor look like audition rejects from Thunderbirds.

These days "Bones" is definitely better. I mean Emily Deschanel, oh my! >:D<

I watched CSI last night with morpheus and I think his character is going to be quite interesting and quirky but felt I was mourning Grissam the whole time... I thought he was going in at G's replacement but alas not..

[bigbadwolf]

My thoughts exactly Strawbs.

AMEN! He was the only reason i watched CSI!! (well the main reason)

I know I'm late to this thread, but I really thought that CSI couldn't survive the absence of Grissom. That said, having watched a couple of the Lawrence Fishburne episodes I think what they've done is really clever. He has a great amount of gravitas but hasn't been installed as the expert and isn't a direct Grissom swap, so we get to see him learn and don't automatically go for the comparison, which is something I find really interesting. Also, Lawrence Fishburne is an awesome actor.

It's certainly got my attention, and I'll keep on watching.

CSI Miami is just utter dross, but compelling dross. I tend to watch it more for the comedy value than anything else.

[Moos]

Dammit, forgot to watch. Did anyone record it, pleasey please?

[annaj]

Yes, we did Moos!

[SeanMacGabhann]

if you people don't record BBC2 next Monday I will hunt you down...

or Crime Scene Investigator, which is how I earn my keep.

Annaj, I should have known I could rely on you. Usual brown paper bag, usual place?

SeanMac, I WILL be recording BBC2 and more importantly continuing and intensifying the campaign to get the Dowager Duchess of Moos to try at least 2 episodes before giving up. It's touch and go at the moment, but Mum is one of the most discerning critics I know, and if she can just get past the Baltimore slang and violence and drugs (ahem!) then I think she'll love it. Are we still on the right thread? :-$

If only MrJ hadn't taped over it last night with the new series of The Unit...

...sorry

I think it's repeated on FiveUS on sunday night.

*sits down, makes self comfortable*

[Cassius]

Thought last nights episode was magnificent.

[Moos]

Had to watch through squinty eyes for the first few minutes, but after that very interesting. But I am not quite convinced by Lawrence Fishburn. He's very compelling in a quiet, underplayed way but I'm not sure that this makes for a leading role. Especially since the lovely and ever-backlit Helga Schmurgerburger looks like a wooden doll beside him.

[annaj]

Shhhhhh....

I'm about to watch last night's. It's my pre-night shift treat.

[ruffers]

Horatio's orange light p?ssess all over any other CSI.

I've had many an argument over this and the evidence always says I'm right the evidence doesn't lie.

yes yes YES

he's a ginger mong!!! whats with that sideways glance combined with the sleazy voice thing that he does???

[bigbadwolf]

Jim Carrey seems to agree as well.

Who watched last night?

I thought it was a bit dull, although Lawrence Fishburne (sp?) continues to be impressive.

Eeeeee for a face-ful of hot fat though.

[bigbadwolf]

Last night was pants wasn't it Moos. Catherine Willows is really starting to get on my nerves now and Fishburnes characters eagerness is getting a bit overbearing now.

[Moos]

Oh yeah, Helga Schmurgerburger - sheesh.

"Sorry for the over-share" sez nerdy chubby mortician guy

Helga purses lips, tries to look saucy

"Thanks for the overshare"

Nauseating wink.

ARGH!

[bigbadwolf]

That was disgusting but did you notice the similarity between hers and Anne Robinsons wink?

[Moos]

What an extraordinarily good observation. I salute you.
