Too Much “CSI:Miami”
A&E loves to show “CSI: Miami”. It seems like everytime I flip past that channel (I rarely find a reason to land there) I’m seeing it. I don’t like that show at all.
Before “CSI: Miami” the regular “CSI” was a good show. The autopsy’s were done with full light and the cast didn’t need those silly little flashlights in broad daylight (it’s the desert, not Seattle, for goodness sake). There was daylight streaming through windows and you could actually make out the cast faces.
When Horatio Cane came on the scene that all changed. For some reason, because it’s always so dark and dank in Miami (that’s sarcasm, people) the sun suddenly set on the Las Vegas version. No more lights- except for those low-level blue ones and the flashlights. Now when they do an autopsy, they do it in the dark. If they really need to look at something they use the flashlights. I can’t make out the expressions on the faces of the actors because of the dim lighting. It’s horrible.
And the character of Horatio Cane? Well, I imagine he would have fit in quite well on “Miami Vice” with his sunglasses and gold chain. Ok, so maybe he doesn’t wear a gold chain. But that’s not important. The issue is David Caruso is overacting. Everytime he rips off those glasses in dramatic flare I want to hit him in the head. David, it’s not necessary to wear those glasses in those dark houses and it’s not necessary to rip them off everytime you figure out who the killer is. Please, stop!
A&E used to have some really good programming. Now, they’re only salvation is “Intervention” and “The First 48″. Someone somewhere found out that shows like “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and the above mentioned melodrama “CSI:Miami” were well received. Someone actually decided to get rid of the good stuff for the crap. Now the channel is nothing but low-budget, low-quality, mind-numbing idiocy. What happened, A&E?
Here’s a clue for the network execs. The only reason people watch this nonsense is because they have nothing else to watch. If you gave them decent programming they would watch the decent stuff. Look at USA Network. They’re putting on good shows (”Monk” and “Psych”) and people are watching. It’s worth the time and money. Most of us are sick of watching mullets running around chasing criminals or low-light melodramas. Don’t you hate the phrase “Thank God for TiVo”? Well, how about giving us something worth watching for once?
