Who cares? I watched My Own Worst Enemy on NBC. I hope that the CSI's have good syndication contracts because it is so OVER for them. I don't even care to watch it for the hilarity that is H. I love Christian Slater. He's sexy and that other thing. He can act. And he can act convincingly like two people, in the first episode. I've been waiting to be convinced that H is H for how many years now? Too many. By this time he should be the Fonz. Never again should he be able to appear in anything without someone yelling out "Horatio Caine" you know, like when Gary Sinise was in Apollo 13 and everytime he appeared on screen the entire audience would yell "Lieutenant Dan". I don't ask for much. I want one of two things. To always associate and actor with a character that I love, Lt. Dan, or to be convinced that the actor is the person he is playing no matter what he is playing.
BTW, I find Gary Sinise to be awesome. I just really loved Lt. Dan. I am quite convinced that Gary is who he is playing in anything I've seen him in. Even more so with Christian Slater. So, I will not be staying up late on Monday's to blog about CSI Miami. I might catch up by the weekend, but don't hold your collective breath. I'm am so over it.

CSI Miami 9-22-08
Blogged while I watched.
OK I don't care about the bodybag, H is not dead. The whole show revolves around David Caruso's bad acting. Also, CSI Wolf now has the ability to declare someone dead and release a crime scene without the medical examiner. Haha - not buying it.
Ha - was right. Calleigh and Delko following the trail find a text that leads them to CSI Wolf. Yep Wolf fesses up, he was following orders from H to fake his assassination so he could get the new fangled bullets off the street. Way to hold out CSI Wolf.
Ortega was the bad guy who wanted H dead. So they try to intimidate this world reknown drug bad guy by driving him through gang territory in the front seat of a police car. Can anyone say "escape"?
Yep, bullets start flying. Women start screaming. Delko goes to save a woman from a burning car. Frank tells bad guy to "stay here" - Hello? Really? Guess who gets away...Oh yeah the bad guy in the car.
Meanwhile, across the world somewhere H is meeting with other bad guys who he's helped, his family which is supposed to be in Puerto Rico, and with Yelena, his sister-in-law/love interest. Buying all the magic bullets off the streets. Mmmm hmmm. But wait, 20 minutes later H is back in Miami meeting with Delko. Hello?
I can't believe I'm watching this. It is sooooo stupid. H is supposed to be dead yet he's walking around the Police station. Meanwhile, Yelena is being held at gunpoint by another bad guy, but gets out of it by making a deal. And not so subtly nodding to H who is also there.
How long can this series last? Really. Even its absurdity has become a bore.
Oh wait, luckily with all of that shooting they found one speck of blood, on a white parking lot line, then another, apparently white parking lot lines attract individual drops of blood.
Does anyone else know that H is still alive, or did we just forget that we are supposed to be investigating his fake death?
Oh but wait, another clue, leading to Nate - the ex boyfriend of Calleigh, and she gets to interview him. Yes, no conflict of interest there. This guy who just left, probably last Tuesday, is deep undercover in the most notorious gang in Miami? Mmm hmmm.
Yelena is following the bad guy(also H's babymama's husband) who is buying all the magic bullets. The bad guys still think that H is dead. Guess they aren't as smart as the good guys. . I do like their computer geeky thing. Miami has to be the smallest town on the planet. Or the police station is centrally located to every place because no matter where the bad guy is it's a 20 second drive. "The bad guy is at the airport - go" and before the bad guy can fly off in his private plane the entire MDPD has their guns trained on him. Bravo.
Calleighs bfriend shows up in the lab. Yes, undercover gang members can walk up into a police lab without notice. Oh he did it for love, he did it for Calleigh. She squeaks out a weak "thank you" and he announces that he's "reassigned" for six months or so, but hoping that she'll wait for him. She doesn't know if she can, she's scared. loveyabye.
H's babymama and her bad guy husband meet up to sail off into the sunset. He thinks H is dead, but H shows up to shoot him. And he tries to get away. H shoots a propane tank and blows up the 100 ft yacht. But wait - they can't find the body.
H puts on his sunglasses and walks away saying the cheesiest of lines. Ah - the formula.

Fall 08 TV - Drama
Last year we had an abbreviated tv season. This year is going to be better than every!!!! Here's what I'm waiting for.
Criminal Minds. When we last left the FBI Profilers they were all getting into their Government issued, no doubt Hybrid, SUV's and KABOOOM. One of them blows up. But whose. Based on commercials leading up to the new season, it's not anybody. Probably a fake stunt to get us to come back. If I got to place my vote....not Spencer and not Garcia and not Hotch and not NOT NOT Morgan. Please not Morgan.
CSI: Warrick got the bejeebers shot out of him, by the creepy, evil, detective dude. I think he's alive. Sarah is back, just to help with the Warrick case. Then, rumor has it, her and Grissom drive off into the sunset. So, Warrick HAS to live, who would be left, Stokes, Catherine and that creepy lab guy. No, Warrick has to stay.
Eli Stone. This was a mid season replacement. I wouldn't have watched it otherwise. But I am oh so glad that I did. It is awesome. Eli, sees and hears things that others cannot. Is it his brain aneurysm? Is it God? He claims not to believe in God, but his "spiritual" advisor/acupuncturist explains that God is everywhere, in everything, in every time. Sounds like God to me. Now I know that to pitch a GOD is everywhere, in everything show to the networks wouldn't fly, but I'm glad that it may get some people to think. Also, Eli - or rather the guy who plays Eli, Angelina Jolie's first husband.
Pushing Daisies I am so glad this is back, I hope they change NOTHING about it. A love story, without the possibility of sex. Now, don't get me wrong, I like sex as much as the next guy, but tv shows built around 'when are they going to have sex' no thanks. Sex is out of the picture because the main character, Ned, and his love interest, Chuck (it's a girl Charlene), can't touch. They can't touch because Ned had a gift of bringing people back from the dead. Touch them once, alive. Touch them twice, dead forever. He uses his special skill to solve murders, when one day he happened on to the love of his life. Chuck lived across the street from him when they were children. When Chuck's father died she was sent to live with her aunts. They never saw each other again, til she was dead. He touched her, because he couldn't not touch her, and he didn't touch her again, which he usually does after he finds out who killed them. Now they are happy, in love, and can never touch again. They get around the romantic parts of their love by wearing gloves to hold hands, and she happens to be a beekeeper, so when she's beekeeping they can dance. Even kissing is possible because he's a baker, and she does this cute thing with Saran Wrap. It's just awfully cute, and a musical to boot. I know, sounds lame, but it's not.
CSI: Miami Who knows what's happening, and who cares. We don't watch CSI: Miami because of the story, we watch because of the horrible acting. It's a train wreck and we line up every week for it. But if I remember correctly Horatio got shot about a bazillion times in the cliffhanger. He has a kid with an ex informant who married a billionaire and then killed him for the money. She then married her true love a guy who is going to kill and her son for her money. But I don't really care. I'm still hoping the resurrect Speedle in some sort of undercover government thing. I just like it when H comes to rescue Calleigh, who he's known for years, and calls her "ma'am" does that make sense? NO. It's hilarious.
Life Oh, I so cannot wait for this one. Murder, intrigue, mystery and weirdness. I love it. Although, it is built on the premise of "when are these two going to have sex?" But when we last left it, Crews had just figured out that his current partner has an evil father. The evil father murdered Crews former partner, and framed Crews. Crews spent 12 years in prison, then got a bazillion dollar judgement and was released. Instead of taking his money and enjoying his life, he has set out to solve the murder for which he did the time. It has led him back to his partner's father.
This are the major dramas I follow. We'll do comedies and reality later.

CSI comentary
The original is awesome, which is why we now have three. The stories are great, the acting superb, the characters believable. I love that Grissom is that wierd. I love that they don't parade his and Sarah's relationship around. I love it. My favorite recently reran, Fannysmackin. When Grissom says you can go around killing people, and not even feel guilty about it. Yikes. That was great.
In stark contrast is CSI: Miami. The stories are silly, the acting, like a seventh grade production of Rent, with the noted exceptions of the Big Detective, the now deceased(?) Speedle, and Eric. It's a trainwreck that predictably happens everyweek. We are so lucky.
The third installment, CSI: New York, probably has the best acting. Who doesn't love Lt. Dan, and Eddie Cahill? When I watch it I enjoy it, but don't make it a priority. I got behind when the taxi cab murders started happening. Maybe this year I'll catch up....

CSI Miami 11/5/07
A fashion show was invaded by gunmen shooting up the place. But wait, the gunmen were models and one died. Horatio was concerned and vowed to make it right.
The model who died had just visited her husband in prison. The prisoner, none other than the kidnapper of H's newly discovered son, who happens to be in the same prison, in the same cell block. The kidnapper of H's son, wanting to make ammends for kidnapping offered him a cell phone that later blew up H's son's prisoner/bodyguard. OH MY.
Things don't look good for H's son. Now instead of an easy burglary stint, he's up for murder. But wait, H finds kidnapper's son and uncovers some dirt. This dirt was enough to turn the "most dangerous man in Miami" into putty. Now the only witness against H's son can't recall anything that happened. Phew.
H walks out of the police station, pauses briefly, puts on his sunglasses and goes off to fight yet more crime.
