There's what? 3 CSIs available? And the one set in Vegas is in syndication, which means you really can miss it if something cooler is around the corner and catch it later, over and over and over again.
Then there's the fact that the quality of CSI: Original Flavor has gone downhill in the past two years. They've got a great group of actors who are no longer allowed to show what they can do because of a) the uneven writing and b) increasingly bizarre plots. Seeing the syndicated eps on SpikeTV only makes this point more and more clear.
Two years ago, CSI was appointment TV for me. Now, I'll only set the VCR if the premise sounds interesting. These days I'm getting my police procedural fix from "Cold Case."
I'm looking forward to the new show. Here's hoping it does well.
Anne, I still like CSI, but I flat out refuse to watch Miami and NY is good sometimes, but it bores me about half the time.
Cold Case feels very rote to me. I watch it because I'll watch nearly any crime show (note: CSI Miami comment above), but I prefer Charmed on Sundays at 8 than Cold Case.
Heh. I probably should have thrown a few more "in my opinions" in my CSI rant up above. My big beef with it is that I don't like where they've taken some of the characters. I currently feel about Catherine the way I felt about S6/S7 Spike--that they took an interesting character and screwed up what was a really interesting arc. Again, just my opinion.
I'm getting excited now. And I've stopped following this thread...but it sounds like Minear wrote me a show. And we've hardly talked at all(blush)
If I like it, I'll put you on my friends-list, Tim.;)
Is there a referrer program for The Inside? If I tempt x amount of people into watching the show, do I get a coupon for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen?
Kristen is exempt because she's Official Make Minear Look Great Gurl.
Like how I just decided that? Wasn't that AWESOME?
If I tempt x amount of people into watching the show, do I get a coupon for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen?
No.
But you do get a free treat from Cold Stone Creamery. Dairy Queen (which I love) is so 70s.
Well, are we talking about FOX putting together the referrer program, or The Tim Minear Fund for Little Wanderer Fans?
I think Tim should do it. We gave him his own thread, after all.
Payback time!
What's a good Nielson rating? And when does this thing premiere again?
Is there a Who song left that Jerry Bruckheimer hasn't robbed of its dignity?
