Tonight:
10-11PM CBS, TV-14-V INSIDE LOOK
"CSI: NY"
"It starts with a dead woman dressed like an avatar - but where it goes from there is really odd, says CSI: NY executive producer Anthony E. Zuiker. The show moves into the virtual world Second Life, where ''we're going to re-create New York City,'' says Zuiker, who's also setting up other crimes viewers can solve online. Tonight's avatar-murder case will continue on the Web through February, then jump back to TV just in time for sweeps - not that the tech-unsavvy will miss anything. ''If you don't have a computer you're not behind,'' promises Zuiker. ''We refuse to punish the viewer for not logging into Second Life.'' Unless, that is, you look like an avatar."
Never watched this show before, but since it is mins Caruso and plus Sinise, I might finally do so.

Jorja Fox leaving CSI
She sez she 'wants to do other things.' This is like a politician retiring because he wants to spend more time with his family. No family-oriented person *ever* becomes a politician, in my book, so you can bet she was fired, not that anyone would or will notice.

I've only seen the first one, which I watched for a season, before I got bored with it. But I *hate* Caruso.

Well as much as any characters on CSI shows have personality (not much at all), Jorja's character had an annoying one, so I won't be grieving her departure. Then again, I gave up watching CSI a couple years back.
That's really the fundamental problem of the franchise. It's all mystery and no heart. And typically the mystery isn't constructed in a terribly interesting way either IMHO (look ma, pseudo-science!). But with the suspects and victims and witnesses changing week to week, you need to have relatable cops (I'm sorry, Grissom, scientists  ) you care about for there to really be much of a point. Who would that be? Sinise on NY, Brass and the guy who used to be in the lab on Vegas, and Absolutely Noone on Miami.
The frustrating thing is that there is potential. You can see sparks of a good show in a few episodes. And every time, those episodes are the ones that aren't like a "usual CSI". They're good when they're pretending to be something else. I'd rather they just be that something else and ditch the routine completely.
For example:
The action movie style CSI: NY with Mac, Stella, and Hawkes in the lab with mob members
The Tarentino Stokes-in-a-grave CSI
The four intertwining stories in one night CSI
The Brass solo CSI
Those episodes worked. The miniature killer idea could have if they hadn't stretched it out so artificially.
This is mostly for NY and Las Vegas. Miami is a whole other beast. It has characters; it's just they're pounded into the forced-drama holes whether they fit or not. Miami is a preposterous, hilarious, parody, and it doesn't even know it. Watching a deluded Caruso, unaware of how ridiculous everything around him - particularly his own character - is, growl his way through, spouting puns and putting on/taking off shades with absolute dead certainty that THIS IS DRAMA? It's beautiful and horrible all at once.

I love CSI Miami for the sheer melodrama of it.
Las Vegas isn't too bad, at least it's not trying to be more than it is.
I could never get into New York.

CSI is great. It's only one I watch (seen the others a few times). Loving the new girl. Thank god what's her name is leaving.
Miami is hilarious (in a pathetic kind of way).
NY tries too hard to make them tough New Yorkers, IMO.

"CSI/Without a Trace"
"'Tis the season for crossover sweeps stunts. Tonight two of CBS' top procedurals mix and mingle — though they hardly need the ratings bumps — as Jack (Anthony LaPaglia) pops up on CSI to investigate a dead kidnapping victim, and Grissom (William Petersen) follows him back to Trace to help catch the killer. —Lynette Rice"

Yeah, that's a pretty bad name for her.
But again, loving her replacement.

I dare anyone to find a better actor on tv:

And the beginning of the model one was great because I'm pretty sure Caruso did a sashay down the runway.

I love that video. 
I think this is the perfect CSI: Miami moment for me.

9-9:30PM CBS TV-14-DLS Must Watch of the Week
"Two and a Half Men"
"In staging a crossover with its top sitcom and CSI, CBS could have just had the Vegas forensics team come investigate good-time Charlie (Charlie Sheen) for a murder and left it at that...yawn. Instead, the network gooses the trite-and-true stunt by swapping the shows' writers, too. Tonight, the procedural's scribes tackle comedy, bringing George Eads along for a cameo. The pens behind Men take over CSI on Thursday at 9 p.m., with a plot about a sitcom star (Katey Sagal) who comes up snake eyes in Vegas. This script flip has the potential to be near genius…or that horrible idea somebody had while in the throes of a Liquid Paper high. And we can't wait to see which."
This sounds very, very strange....
