CSI: Miami

By Allison Waldman Well, it seemed like last night's CBS comedies went off the rails. They strained to be funny, in all the wrong ways. Here are my thoughts, show by show -- including Accidentally (which I did watch):Continue reading Monday's CBS sitcoms went off the rails last night

By Bob Sassone Did you see the commercials for this episode? They showed the first bomb going off and said something along the lines of "the first blast with stun you."

 CA - Bob Sassone You know what CSI: Miami? If you show us all the plot twists, it's impossible for them to "stun" us. Remember the days when TV shows (and movies) actually didn't show the important parts of an episode? I'm totally amazed at how many people actually ...

By Bob Sassone Filed under: OpEd, TV Squad Lists, Reality-Free I don't usually watch the CBS Monday night comedy lineup anyway (I watch Chuck and Heroes), but even if I did I think I might want to skip tonight's episodes, or at least put the mute on during the commercial breaks.

By Jen Creer She is a terrific actress; one of the standout episodes for me was her grief over working on the body of a child, and how she combined tears with professionalism during the episode. She will have no trouble finding other work out there.

By Bob Sassone There are only two new shows so far that have shown any strength: Bionic Woman and Private Practice. Of course, they've only had one episode each, less than a week ago, so who knows if those numbers are even solid? Returning shows, such as Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, and CSI: Miam...

By Bob Sassone Of course, it would help if CSI: Miami was a science fiction show. They could explain why Detective Speedle could come back from the dead by...oh, I don't know, some rejuvenation serum or time travel or robot double. But this is CSI: Miami, and it has to be realistic (even though we have David Caru...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E24) This was a bit of a departure in terms of what we've come to expect from a season finale in the world of CSI, be it Vegas, New York, or Miami. I'm not complaining though. This episode felt much more like a wrap up of the fifth season of CSI: Miami and rather than leave us hanging with a ton of q...

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: OpEd, CSI: Miami, Watercooler TalkWell the weekend is here and since I never had a chance to see this past Monday's installment of CSI: Miami (S05E22, "Burned"), I figured I'd sit down and watch the crappy feed on the CBS website. For whatever reason, my TiVo tweaked out last we...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E21) I really enjoyed this episode a lot, but I have to ask. Why did the preview from last week's episode make it seem like some real serious fireworks were going to go off between Calleigh and Delko? I recall something along the lines of, "the moment we've all waited for." What moment? She g...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E20) This was kind of an interesting episode if you think about it. It was a good concept. Essentially, they took something that was glitzy and over-the-top to begin with and layered it with a storyline about Hollywood, drugs, rehab, and murder. Doesn't get much better than that. Throw in s...

By Jonathan Toomey I cannot recall an episode of CSI: Miami that ever had as many ridiculous twists and turns as this one. It's funny too, because I had been watching a whole bunch of episodes of The Shield recently and I went in to this thinking that I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I usually do. Wrong. Pour on...

By Jonathan Toomey Something we've been lacking this season are some decent ongoing storylines and it looks like a few have developed from this episode. Horatio appears to have a new love interest in the stripper exotic dancer working girl nice lady that he helped in this episode. I'd say it seems too soon, but...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E16) Well this was a refreshing episode. Normally when CSI: Miami has an episode with two or more cases going on at once, it often feels forced. Not so this time around. It was a genuinely well laid out story with some great twists. To be perfectly honest, I don't think it even felt like an episo...

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Other Drama Shows, CBS, OpEd, CSI: Miami(S05E15) Well that was unexpected. Normally, if I read something along the lines of, "a team member dies after being shot in the head" in my TV Guide, then I expect... well, a death. Technically, the episode description wasn't lying. Delko wa...

By Bob Sassone That's a line from the commercial that's been running all week for tonight's CSI: Miami. How does the city of Miami feel about this? It's probably great publicity when your city is not only the setting for the most popular TV show in the universe but the name of the city is actually in the title....

By Jonathan Toomey S05E12) Good-bye Rob Estes. I am so glad his guest stint on CSI: Miami didn't last long because he played a total ass. This was probably the best episode of the season and I'm not saying that just because I hated the character of Nick Townsend. If you actually think about how this episode played o...

By Jonathan Toomey There were a lot of things that I liked about this episode actually. Giving more time to some lesser characters (Jake and Valera) was very cool to see. It was also funny to see the night shift team and how inept they are. But nothing beats Horatio and those canned one-liners. I missed those.

By Jonathan Toomey S07E11) This was an incredibly frustrating episode. As much as I love this show, episodes like this are why I don't review it weekly like I do CSI: Miami. At least with Caruso and the Miami crew, I know what I'm getting week in and week out: a cheesy, campy, and thoroughly enjoyable over the top s...

By Anna Johns The article points out that while guys like Jerry Bruckheimer produce many of the series, it's Moonves who does the hand-picking of the series that make air. And he chooses the man who will play the 'fatherly' lead roles. The writer notes that, like Moonves, none of these lead actors is bald (...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E11) This was a follow-up to that absolutely ridiculous episode from a few weeks ago. Remember the one where the guy and his family got kidnapped, it was somehow tied to a terrorist plot, and then it ended with Horatio blowing up a truck with his sniper rifle? That one? Terrible episode. Th...

By Jonathan Toomey Nice touch ending the episode with Johnny Cash's "Like A Soldier." One of my favorite Cash tunes. Speaking of ending though, now that November sweeps is coming to a close this will probably be the last new CSI: Miami episode we'll see in a while. Heck, we're not even into December and the season...

By Jonathan Toomey Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it feel like the team lacked a sense of urgency once the terrorist plot unfolded? I didn't feel like anyone was worried. I mean, you knew something ridiculous was going to happen once the killer was unmasked and there was still about twelve minutes to go...

By Jonathan Toomey Nikka LaRue actually guest-starred in this episode. She had a brief cameo as one of the reporters during Horatio's press conference. Nice touch, getting her involved with the episode. Plus, she got to work with her sister. I would imagine that was a pretty cool experience for both of them.

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, CBS, OpEd, CSI: Miami I'm very angry about this overall though. Horatio, Delko, Wolfe... Calleigh! C'mon guys! This is how I unwind on my Monday nights, laughing at your corniness. This had me fighting to keep my eyes open.

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, CBS, OpEd, CSI: Miami(S05E06) Has CSI: Miami ever had a Halloween themed episode before? I don't think they have. Good for us because they saved all the cheesy stuff for this one. What a great episode. Sort of creepy, completely laughable and it was chock full of hilarious...

By Bob Sassone Heroes, the surprise NBC hit (and I say "surprise" not based on quality - it's very good - just based on how most networks succeed with sci-fi, especially on Monday nights), beat CSI: Miami last night in the all-important 18-49 demographic. CSI: Miami was a close second.

By Jonathan Toomey Few other points I wanted to talk about though. We got some foreshadowing for some of the things to come. Wolfe is developing a real temper it seems. He went as far as attacking another officer while investigating the eminent domain case. Horatio was able to get him out of it with IAD this time, bu...

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, CBS, OpEd, CSI: Miami(S05E04) People love to badmouth this show! "It's cheesy!" "It's so campy!" "A corpse could act better than David Caruso!" All of that may be true, but if people are badmouthing CSI: Miami, that means something else too. We're all watching it! That...

By Bob Sassone OK, now that I've said, the ratings. CBS won the all important 18-49 demo on the strength of CSI: Miami, which actually grew in numbers as the 10pm hour progressed. Deal or No Deal and Prison Break tied for first at 8. Heroes was first at 9pm, and even though it was down 10% from last week's premier...

By Jonathan Toomey Calleigh seems to have grown up a little too. During this episode, a counterfeiting ring was uncovered (I feel like we get one of these every other episode), and Calleigh called in her friend Peter from the Treasury Department. If you recall from last season, Calleigh was angered to find out...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E02) One of the things I always found interesting about CSI: Miami was that out of the three shows in the franchise, Miami is the only one that really played up the specialties of it's cast. You know what I'm talking about. Delko is an expert recovery diver, Calleigh has expertise in firear...

By Jonathan Toomey S05E01) I love this show and I'm thoroughly excited that it's back. I still think it's the best in the CSI franchise and after last year's cliffhanger, this is the one premiere that I've honestly been looking forward to. We pick up right where we left off, with Horatio and Delko in pursuit of An...

By Jonathan Toomey One thing I've noticed as of late, is that a majority of reader comments that I've received on past CSI: Miami reviews seem to share a common sentiment. People hate David Caruso and I can't understand why. So he's a poor actor. I can accept that but he still makes this show. I like his "I'm reading t...

By Jonathan Toomey Just in time for the unmasking of The Carver on Nip/Tuck, CSI: Miami has expanded on a "who-could-it-be" mystery of their own. If you missed the special online only clip from about a month ago, then you were probably caught off guard when Wolfe told Tripp and Natalia that there's a mole in the...

By Jonathan Toomey Based on the bullet casings Calleigh recovered, she determines that there were two shooters and prints found at the scene lead H and Tripp to a hotel room inhabited by a Californian bounty hunter. Only problem is that he wasn't after the dead drug dealer. There was another guy in the room. Wolf...
