    What is with CSI

    What is the deal with this show?
    It's been #1 show in the US for a looooong time.

    Yet I never hear anyone really talking about it.

    Every time I happen to start watching it, that cheesy intro comes on
    with that song from The Who. "Whooooooooo are you hoo hoo hoo hoo".

    Then I have to turn it off. It seems so hokey to me, is the show really that good or are people just delusional?

    I hate that intro to.
    Its too annoying for its own good.
    The story is ok though, the writers kind of treat the viewers like idots though, they contstantly have little side flashes to allow you to "work the mystery out before the hero does".
    Meh.

    I watched an episode. I thought it sucked, but the people that told me to watch it suck, imho, so that sort of tainted it for me.

    the vegas show is OK. if you like watching the real 'crime file' stuff on Discovery/TLC, this is just the dramatic version of those. it's totally cheesy (what TV isn't?), but it's watchable. the miami version is worse, and the NY version is nothing more than an 'also ran'. that said, there are far too many unbelievable aspects to it...like each person seems to be an expert in every form of forensics (DNA, tire intentification, etc.) other than Lost, what other one-hour drama is worth watching? Vegas is close.

    Ah, these boys is all swelled up. So this was earlier...getting set to trade. Then, woooaaah differences.

    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    I have a friend who really likes the show, I haven't seen it yet.

    I hear it's loosely based on Mark Walberg?

    Have to admit, not a huge fan of the American cop dramas, too much paint by the numbers imo. And British comedy has always been head and shoulders above anything the Yanks or Aussies have ever produced (Sienfield being an exception, imho - which is one more "great" comedy than I can claim us Aussie's have produced).

    I like CSI (can't stand Miami or NY though). I'm not a loyal viewer, but if it's on, I'll catch it.

    Well if they could bother themselves to churn out a few more quality episodes then I'd agree... lately its had its funny moments... but alot of it has been filler...

    Family Guy is probably my fav atm. CSI too condescending. "We have blast marks eminating from a central point, burn marks on the walls... I think it was a bomb."
    I approve this message.
