I've only watched the original CSI a few times, but I did enjoy it. Is CSI: Miami any good?
I've read a few articles about how the main guy in the first CSI is not really thrilled with all the new CSI's. I'm not a huge fan of CSI so I don't know if his departure would be a big thing - but it sounds like he's not too happy with it all.
----
What's next? 'CSI:Boise'?
- David Hiltbrand
When CBS announced in 2002 that it was opening a tropical franchise of the network's biggest hit, to be named CSI: Miami, William Petersen was understandably irate.
"I wanted them to wait another year and let that show be something else instead of a carbon copy of ours," he says. "My objection was to the timing. Give our show a chance and give the other show a chance before rubber-stamping this thing."
He's seen what happens to a bandwagon when TV jumps on board with both feet. "The reality thing is getting tired now, because it's rubber-stamped out. They're all the same show, just set in a different place. Now Donald Trump is running around with a bunch of guys. Whatever."
So you can imagine how happy Petersen was when CBS recently announced that it's developing yet another spin-off, for this fall: CSI: New York.
"Two years from now, there'll be another one in Philadelphia and one in Toledo," he says sardonically. "If it works, they're going to use it until it doesn't work anymore. You can't tell them the golden egg is going to get broken. They say, 'Look, I have a limited amount of time here. Let's break all the eggs, make a big omelette.' "
Petersen is enough of a realist to recognize that he can't change the system, however shortsighted it may be.
"I don't have to deal with the bottom line the way these executives do," he says. "They're desperate to squeeze money out of it. That's what happens when people like Sumner Redstone [chief of CBS owner Viacom] and Rupert Murdoch [Fox] are in charge. It makes it difficult for us to do anything original."

As good as the original CSI is (and it is very good), CSI:Miami is equally as bad. CSI has actors that look the part, i.e. you could believe might be in that field...plus they can actually act.
CSI:Miami has a bunch of people that looked like they just stepped out of a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog, and none of them can act their way out a paper bag. I've seen better better dialogue delivery in porn movies! David Caruso has to be the single worst actor working anywhere today...and no I didn't forget about Keanu Reeves. Caruso is that bad.
Howver, CSI:Miami is fun to watch while poking fun at how bad it is...kinda in a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" way.

Argh! I knew something was wrong. 
Has anyone ever seen Cops episodes in Mesa? Hilarious.
Always involves tweekers and drunks.

Of course, I just now actually read BIM's original post, and if Gary Sinese is on the show, that would be pretty cool...I'm sure I'd watch it.
