CSI Miami New Season

tvnutz

The 3rd and new season of CSI Miami will begin next Tuesday 12th July at 9pm. CSI:NY continues its run right after it at 10pm. Im glad they have started Miami so soon after the last season,and pairing it with NY should get good ratings and is good viewing!

However RTE in their wisdom have put on the most retarded ad for them that I have ever seen. It is SO pathetic! I want to find the guy who commisioned it and the gobsh!te that is narrating it and slap them both silly! Its so stupid!! :mad: especially at the end when he goes, "and by the way,Miami is the orange one and New York is the blue one", hahahaha! Hilarious! *shudder*
They also didnt mention that the Miami they are showing is actually new at all,the description on Sky gives the ep name which is the 1st of season 3.

Anyway,rant over,im looking forward to miami because of the

death of a major character,and i dont actually know who it is yet...but i have a good idea!

Nightwish

sweet
can't wait!!! horatio rocks

Bamboozled

Oh nice. Thanks.
Nightwish, does him stating the bleedin' obvious not get on your nerves?
When i noticed that, I went off the whole thing though i still watch it.
Timmy Speed now, that a whole different ball game!

tvnutz

Sorry I have to agree with him! lol I think Caruso is cool and horatio is the best CSI leading man,with Gary Sinise's Mac Taylor coming a close 2nd (And ive only seen a few eps). I cant stand Grissom,so bland and boring with his one facial expression for the entire show!

When I was flying over to the US last year, the seats had TVs with different channels one of which was playing an episode from the three different CSIs. I watched 'em all and can say that the spoiler happens quickly and is merely okay...

You flew with Continental, yes?!

gibo_ie

jet blue i would have thought ...

irishcsifan

about time. now where is csi las vegas?. i know who dies and i was gutted when i found out it was.i haven't seen the ad yet.

tvnutz

I have no idea about Vegas,but they should put it on RTE 2 with the others,that way we might be able to keep track! Ive seen ads for NY and Miami a lot but never for Vegas on RTE 1.

Oh and when you see the ad,trust me,you will know what I am talking about. Its cringe worthy!

Elmo

and by the way,Miami is the orange one and New York is the blue one", hahahaha! Hilarious! *shudder*

Well perhaps they are trying to imulate the Really Good One Liners that all of the leading men in CSI (NY, M and LV) get.

Sorry I like CSI but some of the one liners espically the Caruso ones are pathetic. CSI:NY seems to spread them out to all of their characters.

Anyone how has never seen a CSI but start watch in CSI:miami generally don't understand why I like the show, that is until they see CSI:Crime Scene Investigation.

It's like anyone who starts watching 24 from the 4th season. That is until they see the 1st season (repeated on BBC on saturdays i think).

tvnutz

well i think miami is the best,vegas is boring...but i agree...the one liners are hilarious (in a bad way). Go on horatio,put on your sunglasses that you never take off and say the line! Our hit and run,just became...dun dun dun...a MURDER!

but no the ads were nothing like this,did you see it? it was so retarded said by some idiot with an annoying voice.

irishcsifan

i saw the ad last night after i was finished the internet. well it is the most stupid ad i have ever seen and i thought i'd seen worse

tvnutz

lol...at least im not the only one that thinks so!

Elmo

yeah the add is pathetic.

Bamboozled

I only saw it today. Wow, what an effort. Absolutely pathetic.

PaulMcG

They were running a shorter version of the promo today

tvnutz

Awww...Speed i thought it was done really well,he died sooner than I expected,and it was kind of quick,and actually nasty,a lot of blood. Not a lot of tears,except for Alexx,but she talks to her dead bodies,so... :rolleyes:

and it was because he didnt clean his gun! they mentioned that happening before,which it did in another episode,and at the end Horatio gave him a gun cleaning kit,i actually expected it to be in his locker unopened when Horatio was cleaning it out,they even left time for the funeral...

oh well,i presume they will be getting someone else in to replace him...good episode.

Bamboozled

I saw up until the blood and then got distracted. Thank god I taped it.
God, he was the only one worth watching! (well Cali/Kali/ however you spell it too for the other half so we can drool together. )

tvnutz

lol ye she is good looking.except her voice is annoying...:p

Bamboozled

Eh he doesnt listen to the voice . As he says himself "teeth and t*ts". :eek: Saying that, she has got a huuuuge and gorgeous smile and she does it so rarely. A proper smile I mean. In all the CSI Miami's i've watched i've only seen her smile properly once.

irishcsifan

i was so upseting, i cried through most of it. the new person who.s going to replace speed he was in season two he was cop who helped caliagh process a scene or at least i think its him.

Nightwish

awww! poor tim. i loved him, all sensitive and caring, but cool!

still horatio is THE coolest! i adore his cheesiness and his ridiculous 1 liners, although they are just put in so the yanks understand the "intellectual" bits

tvnutz

lol ye,his one liners are great because they are so cheesy...and he could probably super glue those sun glasses to his face... he is cool,best lead csi!

The Bollox

I hate all the profiles Horatio does, they are so bad!!!!

I was told about 9 months ago that Speed pops it, I was talking to a girl from Texas who was also really into the show and she said "it's a pity Speed dies" I was like "WTF!!! what do you mean?" and she said "yeah, sorry I thought you knew"

there are a whole load of 'em in America I think there are 5 in all, 4 anyway

tvnutz

a whole load of what in america?

The Bollox

CSI's there are CSI(LA), CSI Miami, CSI NY and one or two others, they are yet to be aired here

tvnutz

Ahhh...no...there are only 3: Vegas,Miami and NY,no more are planned,you might be thinking of Law and Order.

The Bollox

maybe...

y'know the lead dude in NY, is he the same guy who played Lieutenant Dang(sp?) in Forrest Gump?

no...really! trust me,look at my name!

and ye the NY dude is Gary Sinise,he has been in a lot of movies.

Elmo

no...really! trust me,look at my name

There is some confussion over CSI and Navy CSI (I think that is the name they gave that).

Navy CSI is a spin off to JAG nothing to do with CSI franchise.

L&O
L&O:SVU
L&O:CI
L&O: Trial By Jury or L&O:TBJ

tvnutz

Elmo

No not really!

Quitely walks away

It does in the sense it's clearly an utter rip-off...

Speaking of spin-offs, has anyone topped "Happy Days"? It had:
"Laverne & Shirley" (1976)
"Laverne and Shirley in the Army" (1981) [spin off from the above but still counts]
"Blansky's Beauties" (1977)
"Mork & Mindy" (1978)
"Out of the Blue" (1979)
"Fonz and the Happy Days Gang" (1980)
"Joanie Loves Chachi" (1982)
"The Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley with the Fonz Show" (1982)

Total Seasons: 27 (most of those spinoffs only had one year)
=========================
Star Trek isn't too badly off either:

Star Trek
Star Trek: The Animated Series
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise

Total Seasons: 29 + 10 movies
========================
There's Cheers:

Cheers [11]
The Tortellis [1]
Frasier [11]

Total: 23
========================
Or how about 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show':

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' [6]
'The Betty White Show' [1]
'Rhoda' [4]
'Phyllis' [2]
'Lou Grant' [5]

Total: 18
========================
Or the aforementioned 'Law & Order':

'Law & Order' [15]
'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' [6]
'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' [4]
'Law & Order: Trial By Jury' [1]

Total: 26 - but 3 of them are still going, so it'll hit 29 next year (TbJ was cancelled)
=======================
For sheer variety, 'The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' deserve notice, although they just change name every year rather than being an actual spin-off:

"The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers"
"Power Rangers Zeo" (1996)
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)
"Power Rangers Turbo" (1997)
"Power Rangers In Space" (1998)
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Return of the Magna Defender (1999) (V)
"Power Rangers Lost Galaxy" (1999)
Power Rangers in 3D: Triple Force (2000) (V)
"Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue" (2000)
Power Rangers Time Force - Quantum Ranger: Clash for Control (2001) (V)
"Power Rangers Time Force" (2001/I)
"Power Rangers Wild Force" (2002)
"Power Rangers Ninja Storm" (2003)
"Power Rangers DinoThunder" (2004)
"Power Rangers S.P.D." (2005)
"Power Rangers Mystic Force" (2006)

That's 11 "spin-offs"... although only about 13 seasons or so.


So, all in all, the CSI franchise isn't quite the evil franchise machine that it may seem as I've demonstratably proved

tvnutz

and ye as spin offs come,the CSI's are actually good...considering both miami and new york are better than the original!
