CSI: Miami

[declansdad]

As I sit here watching this show, I wonder:

1. Why is this version so bad compared to the other two. The cheese factor is through the roof and the acting is terrible.
2. Why do I keep watching?

Drinking Game...
1. Drink a sip every time someone calls him "H" not "Horatio"

2. Take one swig every time H places his arms akimbo (on his hips).

3. Take two swigs when Horatio takes his sunglasses off for dramatic effect.

4. Likewise, take two swigs when Horatio puts his sunglasses on for dramatic effect.

5. Take three gulps when H wears a dark blazer in the middle of an investigation.

6. Drink for four counts when he addresses Jonathan Togo's character as “Mr. Wolfe.”

7. Drink for five counts when he’s talking and his head is tilted at a 45-degree angle. (Don’t forget to add another count if he has his arms akimbo at the same time.)

8. Drink for six counts when the camera films him entering the scene from a low angle for dramatic effect. Some games refer to this as the "Horatio-as-Christ" shot.

9. Drink for seven if you ever see him smile. (This is extremely rare, but it does happen on occasion.)

Have Fun...

I think I will be getting drunk a lot more often!





I love CSI Miami...I will often take my sunglasses off/on for dramatic effect when talking to my dad b/c he gets what I am doing


I also love how you can watch atleast 16 hours of it a week on tv~

I actually prefer Miami to Vegas mainly because of the cast. Last week I was very upset Alex quit...I loved her character and I wonder who's going to be brought in to replace her.

 

[declansdad]

LOL,

I think I would have been hammered watching just the last 15 minutes.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

*confesses to liking Ryan plus am I the only one that thinks he could pass for a younger Jake Gyllenhaal?*

 

[KathyTX]

I really don't care for most of the cast, and I completely agree that the cheese factor is off the charts...

... but this show is STUNNING on 64 inches of bright, crisp, high-definition screen! The colors and the scenery are fabulous, and make me want to BE in Miami!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

My husband often gets him mixed up with Jake Gyllenhaal so you must not be alone.

3. Take two swigs when Horatio takes his sunglasses off for dramatic effect.

4. Likewise, take two swigs when Horatio puts his sunglasses on for dramatic effect.

With these three you would be drunk as a skunk in the first 15 minutes!

well actually looks like you want to BE in Los Angeles.

The show isn't actually filmed in Miami, the skyline shots are of Miami, but the scenes are filmed at Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles.

I totally need to start doing this when I watch CSI: Miami. I always end up watching the reruns late at night when there is nothing else on.

I must confess that instead of watching CSI:Miami, I watch Medium on Monday nights. The cheese factor has gone way up on this show, but I...can't...look...away. I seem to have an unhealthy obsession with cheesy TV dramas. Am I the only one who prays TV shows are canceled, so I can't watch them anymore?

 

[AmazingGrace]

I can't stand the one pathologist that coddles and coos at the corpses. it's just wrong.

Oh I love this show!

I never watched NYPD Blue when Caruso was on it, so I figure this show helps me make up for that, and I adore him. I mean, sure, we giggle a little at his seriousness, but his character also kicks booty and we're a bit afraid of him.

Love the aerial shots; my mom and stepdad lived in Miami while I was in college (mom moved out there from CA a week after dropping me off in WA for college!) and I *loved* that "town" so much. I mean, it's scary as heck and enormous, but gorgeous as well. They got out less than a year before Hurricane Andrew destroyed their (Disney built) housing development, and their former house was one of the few that standing standing (b/c it was made with real nails, not finish nails like the rest of 'em).

We do love giggling at the over the top technology in the lab, though!!!! So Jenny, I think you should add something about "whenever they upgrade their monitors in any way, whether it's making them see through or huge or have 3 all in a row like what showed up tonight, drink something".

I love the Vegas CSI but I have never been able to get into Miami no matter how many times I have tried

 

[powellrj]

I love the way Joel McHale makes fun of it on The Soup. He has David Caruso down pat!!

 

[declansdad]

I was actually a fan of this version before the others. (It must be the Miami Vice factor.) Once I started watching Vegas and New York, I relized just how bad the acting is in the Miami version.

 

[Robinrs]

He is HYSTERICAL!! He actually got me to watch this STUPID show!!! Caruso and those sunglasses and that SCREAM!!!

While I was unemployed I watched the real life justice shows on A&E and CSI Miami came on right afterwards. I had to CATERPULT across the room to find the remote to change the channel!!! Why?

The first few minutes can just PULL you into that ridiculous plot... I got caught more times than I'm willing to admit!!

Wanna laugh? Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sarYH0z948

AND Classic Jim Carrey imitation of Caruso: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glvGfQnx3DI&feature=related

I also get sucked into this show. I love the scenery, especially in January and Feb!!

the technology kills us, it's like, "lets drop this speck of lint into my fancy schmansy lint machine and watch it beep and blink, then the killer's name, address, photo and criminal history will spit out the other end."

Although I gave up on Miami (and am about to bid farewell to NY..did anybody see last week's moronic "humiliated fat chick" episode), I always enjoy the "no matter what camera source our pictures came from, we can morph, reverse or enlarge them to show us in perfect detail, exactly the information we need to move the investigation along" technology the crime lab has.

And AmazingGrace, I also hated the way Alex cooed over the corpses. Khandi Alexander was annoying enough when she talked that way to her co-stars on NewsRadio; it was far worse on CSI: Miami.

So glad to know that we aren't the only ones who watched the fabulous News Radio, but weren't the biggest fans of Khandi...
