Is the CSI thing getting out of hand?

It's been pointed out by a mate or two that recently there has been a hash of CSI spin-offs as CSI Las Vegas spawned Miami and New York to push the old barrel scapping further on and on. Except what was once original now is money in the tv producers pockets and those writers taking the idea too far.

My question: Is there a problem?

If there is, rant about what it is. someone will be happy to think about various ways to solve any perceived problem with CSI. Be it flaming it and or suggesting more CSI's or talking shite. like me.

Anyhow... what's up?

Err. What's the problem there? That's why I like CSI. So sick of all that pompous witty-snappy dialogue, CSI is a refreshing change.

Yes it is a problem. CSI Miami is crap and the others are only passable as brain chewing gum. The head guy Horatio is the poorly acted with a over the top accent. It is further a problem as my girlfriend is such a CSI addict that if CSI is on nothing else has a chance. Too much CSI makes jack a dull boy. One or two a week is fine but several a night is no good for man nor beast.

i watched an episode...i think it was the opening to the las Vegas series.
anyhow...the 'cops' were looking for this girl who had gone missing in the desert.one of the guys had his binoculars out scanning the horizon;he stopped on a small pile of rocks which must have been a sign from the missing woman.he shouts to his partner and passes her the bins,he points it out and she looks using the binoculars...she spots the rocks.they both run what must have been two steps to where the rocks stand.
the binoculars were completely unnecessary...fucking morons.

First of all I think you're meant to call transvestites "she".
Secondly, you live at the top of the stairs not under them.

Pedant cunt. Use the female pronouns. Remember like we had to get used to when your Mum became your Dad.

C.S.I Miami !!!!

Don't knock it, my latest PRS statement (music royalties) tells me I made . . . . wait for it . . . £7.87p from having music played on 5 broadcasts of 'C.S.I Miami' and 'C.S.I Miami Slaughterhouse' (whatever that is).

£7.87 !! For 5 broadcasts !!! Bunch of tight arses.

But that wasn't the lowest fee for Tv music usage I got in the last quarter, the good people who make 'What Not to Wear' paid me 0.02p - yes two whole pence! - for using another song in their tedious fashion vehicle.

I am planing to retire when I am 180.
