TheEarl,

I have seen CSI NYC twice — the year-end cross-over from CSI Miami and this debut.

I like it.

The NYC setting gives it a new feel, while having the usual CSI values. It will take a few weeks to shake out and see where it fits into the CSI lineup.

One thing of which you can be certain — no twelve-year-old network programming guru will be allowed to pull the plug on CSI NYC because it does not “make its numbers” in the first two weeks.

Yes - watched it - LOVED it. I'm a CSI junkie. Much darker, almost noirish. Vegas is still my top, but we shall see. Do you think they'll do CSI Idaho next?

Next will be CSI LA, then CSI Chi, CSI Big Easy, and CSI Dallas.

I heard about a rather silly interview. It seems that there's a large fan-base in Canada (relatively speaking) so someone suggested that they should consider a CSI Vancouver.

The trouble is, that there's no crime in Canada, so:

CSI Vancouver investigates a puzzling case of warm beer.

After an hour-long program the investigators connect the fact that the refrigeration door was left ajar with the little-known fact that Canadian temperatures during August have been known to reach as high as twenty-one degrees Celsius.

After conducting an experiment to investigating Celsius, CSI Vancouver chief Dudley discovers that twenty-one degrees Celsius equals seventy Fahrenheit degrees, and the case is solved.

I want a CSI Yorkshire (or Bath).

LOL - Well - Vancouver is a little lame for CSI, everything will centre on Hastings. However, there was an interesting case there recently. Something about a guy named Ben who got a blow job from a stripper, and ruined the possibilty of marrying a pop tart

. . . a guy named Ben who got a blow job from a stripper. . .

AHEM.

Strippers don't give blow jobs.

They may cause blow jobs, but they do not give them.

If a stripper did give a blow job she was moonlighting in an entirely different field of endeavor.

I saw it, and it was good, but not a great one, imo. The character played by Jorja is taking some interesting turns; doofus-looking brainy guy taking to the field is a little implausible, but the writer had the sense to make it not work out very well.

By the way, I missed the critical scene showing how the stripper got the headwound-- was it an accident? (The idea of a wounded person staggering around desperately, spewing blood [and thus providing evidence creating a false impression of homicide], was used once before, for an older victim.)

Also saw the CSI NY premier, and it had a interesting 'dark' quality, but seemed a to cheapen itself a bit going into the serial killer thing. I think it has potential. Sinese is more palatable than Caruso(?) the red head, in Miami.
