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.
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.
Yup, I've heard its quite sucky... but thats about it... I caught about 2 minutes of it and switched over... yawn festQuote:

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."
Ugh I can't stand that show. If I a going to watch a crime be solved with forensics, I will watch the new detectives or FBI files of something like that. CSI throws in to much stupid drama. Really, the only good this is that the crimes are interesting and unusal, not your run of the mill serial rapist/murders.
Entourage is currently.Quote:

Even Lost seems to be losing it's luster.
Will probably watch 24 again when that comes on, but that's getting old.
How much can one man take, really.
I think Curb your Enthusiasm is the best show on TV, period.
There's never a bad episode imo. Extras is also very good. Am finally able to watch it since I got hbo.
The Apprentice is no longer good, I still watch Survivor, not sure why but I think its a good reality show, one of the originals. Has good ratings. Heh, now I'm talking about reality tv, bleh its all the same really.
I have a friend who really likes the show, I haven't seen it yet.Quote:

not much of soap fan but man that Cilla character in corrie - have not laughed at tv for a long time!
Entourage rocks, Family Guy isn't as funny as it used to be though.
The things I would have done to Erin Gray.Quote:

Both. She was a hottie even then... but in Buck Rogers, those outfits and the feathered hair. Made me lose control.
I watch CSI all the time. It's the only thing worth watching here, what with our whole 21 channel selection.
It's either that or watch the local access channels which don't have anything on them but a test pattern.
Or, I could watch the 5 or 6 jewlery sales channels, judge Judy, judge Mac, judge Joe, or the Texas hanging Judge.
And then there's Oprah.
Oprah is a sexy beast.
ok, rich people turn me on. I'd dry hump Bill Gates.
Seriously though... CSI is decent, but man... those people know every damn thing. "This fiber looks like a 1978 Rochambeau Victoria Carpet shag from 11th Street and Audobon Ave. Call Sal... he's on lunch break right now, he'll know if it's his..."
Oprah is sexy, when she's on a diet.
I like watching CSI, cause it gives me an idea of what all there teaching the criminals.
on DISHNETWORK...I have several channels that are ALWAYS playing Law & Order or CSI......dont care for Miami or NY though....
I think being a Forensic Scientist would be the cats a$$...no doubt.
be a fun job..right up there with being a genticist..
I like CSI.
I think Miami's the best, then Vegas, with (as said) NYC coming in a distant third.
Some of the stories are a little too convenient, but other then that, they're OK.
A helluva a lot better than the cop/FBI/murder reenactment shows on Discovery - what a yawnfest they are.
I love the original CSI. Law in orde is pretty good too.
I used to just watch it if it happened to come on, or nothing else was on, but the finale of last season really set this season in motion for me. (It was directed by Quentin Tarantino. ;))
Law and Order: Criminal Intent is very good, especially Vincent D'Onofrio.
Love this show! Not quite The Office, but good in its own right nonetheless... Not shown on Aussie TV yet, but we have our ways... ;)Quote:

CSI... it's funny their cases always involve a dead man or 2... murder... :xbones:
i was a fan of CSI... but got bored...
one of the case is dumb... a woman got raped, they search for every evidence, can't find anything, found some wrong suspect, in the end of the show, they scan through the woman's stuffs, found a stain on her underwear, test it, sperm, DNA, arrest the man...
entourage is great! so is family guy.
south park joins radiohead and the matrix as the most overrated titles of their respective mediums.

Vincent D'Onofrio is a great actor, isn't he? I love his character. Since that show came on, I've caught some other movies he's been in. You can see how his acting ability has grown over time, to what it is now. Fun to watch people develope their styles. :)Quote:
