The Morning After
Here's some free advice from Auntie Suzanne: if you are looking for good action that ends with a bang, don't sleep with CSI: Miami. I just finished watching four back-to-back episodes, and I had hoped that the nonstop pace would leave me satisfied. Instead, I found that 75% of the time, the show really builds the excitement up with new and intriguing moves, making me ready for a climax that would turn me away from other shows forever. Then, no fireworks; only duds. All the good work that took place over the prior 45 minutes gets thrown out the window with the lamest, fakest endings ever. Bah. Of course, I'll be back for more next Monday (or whenever I get around to watching the recording), but damn if it isn't like slinking back home after yet another regrettable one night stand when you know there are much better ways to invest your time. I feel dirty, cheap, and used just thinking about it.

This is exactly why I don't sleep with tv shows.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think I could sleep with Scrubs.
I love Scrubs! I have to admit that I haven't watched CSI Miami much this year because I haven't been impressed by it. Of course this summer when nothing else is on and they're doing all the re-runs, I'll watch every episode :)
ReplyDeletescrubs may be one of the best shows on tv. definitely the best medical show out there by far.
ReplyDeleteand jsut a little tidbit of random info, apparently based on a medicine resident at brown university hospital who was there a few years ago.
huh! Quitter. We did about 20 hours of CSI Miami when I was trapped in a hospital bed. Lori now does a stellar impersonation of David Caruso, who we decided does a fabulous impression of William Shatner.
ReplyDeleteI'm no quitter! I'll continue watching the show, but I ran out of recorded episodes to watch and mock. I'd love to see Lori's impression of "H." There is nothing more hilarious than the dramatic use of sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteSunglasses ... ha ... childsplay!
ReplyDeleteTo really capture the Horatio Essence you have to perfect the pelvic thrust sidle leading with alternating hips, followed by the casual splay-legged stance with the hands on waist, accentuating the tiny belt size ... under a palm tree with the ocean in the background.
Then, and only then, do you swivel and cock your head, drop your chin, peer over your sunglasses with raised eyebrows and speak ...in a sort of ... choppy monotone ... with meaningful deliberateness ... the words.
