The show really went in a wayward direction with the introduction of the character of Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne). Yeah yeah, he had the introductory factor of having Grissom (William Petersen) give the series OK to the guy in a send-off episode. The continuity didn't make much sense, and was obviously limited. Much more compelling was a brief story arc that featured the brilliant Liev Schreiber, who would have been the perfect, troubled replacement for the departing Grissom. Alas, this was a bit of "stunt-casting" to get the series some new life.
The introduction of Ted Danson (Yup, Sam from Cheers as the boss) has revitalized the series, resulting in some of the best episodes in the past 3-5 years. I'd hope the show could continue this high arc, as the spin-offs are nothing more than repeats of ideas brought years ago by the original. If anyone from CBS is reading this, do the nation a favor and cancel that utterly insipid CSI: Miami. It was an altogether stupid idea in the first place. I mean really, David Caruso? A fucking red-headed stepchild that would need to smear on sun-block just to get from the parking lot to the front door? And the department has the budget to provide him a silver and black, air conditioned Humvee?
As for CSI: NY...no comment. I've honestly never seen the fucking show. Other than to say, I wonder who the "I" is when Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young got back together yet again every so often when I see the show in the tv listings.
