...and then David Caruso took off his sunglasses

No denying that. Just saying Caruso's performance that season is what led him and other to (mistakenly) believe he was going to be a huge star.

I always liked Jimmy Smits as Sipowicz's partner.

 

We need a Horatio Caine Drinking Game

 

Huge CSI: Miami fan, for the very reasons indicated on this thread.

Easily the best bad acting since Walker: Texas Ranger.

And the writing can be bad, which is odd since the original CSI has always been written at a high level. Caruso can, at least once a show, be counted on to say "Mr. Wolf, let's get that to the lab," as if Mr. Wolf didn't freaking already know to take it to the lab.

The much-hyped "mole" plotline from last year was underdeveloped and really fizzled at the end, too.

Did I read correctly that the (very hot) actress from played Marisol on CSI:M is going to be the news assistant DA on the L&O mothership?

 

Given that the fact that NYPD Blue's John Kelly and CSI: Miami's Horatio Caine only have one thing in common (David Caruso's face), I think that we're seeing Caruso's interpretation of the aforementioned oddball badass personality. Caine is a lot more memorable than Kelly ever was. One thing that put both CSI and CSI: Miami above CSI: NY is the fact that the former two have memorable central characters to build around.

And just for Mizzou, and ... well, also for me ...

Proctor easily takes the cake as far as reasons to tune in go (not to mention Breast Men), but the comedy relief is an easy second. Caruso makes me laugh out loud at least once per episode on Monday nights... And it's usually before they roll the opening credits. Not much better than a crappy one liner followed up by Daltry screaming, "Yeeaaaaaaaaah!".

I get the magic that is Horatio Caine and it makes me giggle like a little girl at a slumber party.

 

Well said. CSI: Miami is the best comedy on TV today.

Too bad it's trying to be a drama.

But I still watch it for the comedy, and Proctor of course. Her trademark line to perp-of-the-week is: 'That's not what the evidence is telling me.'

 

Weeellllll, suburbanite, nobody has yet pointed out Horatio's voracious appetite for repeating someone's name to them ad nauseum, suburbanite. Maybe, suburbanite, you should add THAT to your list, suburbanite.

 

Tripp: Horatio, looks like we got a big one here.
Horatio: Yesssss, we do Frank.
Tripp: What do you want to do?
Horatio: Let me make sure my sunglasses are on straight and my earplugs in place before Daltrey screams the opening.

Besides Proctor, I like Delko. The rest could qualify for a bad stand-up routine to be shown on Comedy Central at 3am in the morning.

 

Well, Disembodied Owl Head, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee will add that to our list, Disembodied Owl Head. Mr. Wolf, let's get that to the lab.

What if Caruso had been like this on NYPD Blue?

Well, Andy, weeeeeeeeeeeeee need to look for that witness, Andy.

 

Sipowicz would have thrown John Kelly up against the wall for the next ten minutes if Caruso would have pulled that Horatio shit on him.

 

NDub mentioned it before I could ... the whole head cocked with his gun drawn thing is hilarious.

I watched tonight's episode in Rio, it was plot-leaping like Bambi on steroids.

They need to do one of those crossover, Law and Order/Homicide-type things, with CSI: Miami and L&O: Criminal Intent. Match up Caruso with Vincent D'Onofrio, who has perpetual Captain Kirk-like hesitation damn near everytime he talks, and also pulls the head cocked thing, only in interegations.

It would be an over-acting Masterpiece Theatre.

 

I likes me some Sofia Milos.
