Just a few words on a reasonably new show that is growing on me. It continues to impress!
CSI: Miami with David Caruso as Horatio Cane. This is a key show in a new breed of detective shows centered on forensic science abilities. Then there are the hallmark scenes, where Horatio takes on and off the shades…Yep, its ON now…
Other actors on the show include: Emily Proctor (hottie forensic lab/field tech babe Calleigh), Adam Rodriguez and Jonathon Togo. Just found Emily’s official site. Check it out.
I grew up on the police and detective shows of the 70’s and 80’s…That spanned a range of: Manix, Dragnet, Columbo, Barretta, Starsky and Hutch, Kojak, Cannon, Streets of San Francisco, Quincy and SWAT, Barney Miller (with Abe Vigoda), Hill Street Blues and Magnum P.I.
CSI is perhaps closer to vintage Quincy with Jack Clugman.
Props to producer Jerry Bruckheimer on a cool show!
BTW, gotta like the CSI: Miami theme song from the Who.
“Yeeeeeaaahhhhh…we won’t get fooled….again…………won’t get fooled again …..Oh no……”
I saw the other CSI with Melina Kanakaredes but wasn’t nearly as impressed with that one.
Besides, if life worked like it should, she should still be Dr. Sidney Hanson on Providence…which was a VERY cool yet slightly goofy and quirky show that lasted a few seasons. That show had a cool theme song too. (I need to do a “in memoriam” on Providence)

CSI:NY weekends now… That stinks… We want Horatio and Calleigh…
