I was only kind of half-watching, mainly because David Caruso annoys the heck out of me, but I wanted to see if the NYC version might be worth watching. The jury is still out, depends on the time slot, probably. My main reaction to the show was (when Sinise and Caruso are entering the apartment of the NY murdered couple for the first time), “These people have hideous taste!” Also, when Caruso shows up at the funeral at the end, the look he exchanged with the grieving daughter completely creeped me out. ---

Next on a very special CSI: New York. NYCSI #1: “We got a guy here, looks like his mid-thirties. Tie was too tight. Looks like autoerotic asphyxiation. He was found in an abandoned coffee shop.” NYCSI #2: “Got a name?” NYCSI #1: “His wallet says he’s Chandler Bing.” NYCSI #2: “Could this guy _be_ more dead?” ---

Swell. A spin-off featuring Melina Kanakaredes which may drive William Peterson away from his own show. The only time I could stomach her was when she was being shown the door by Bobby Simone on _NYPD Blue_. I hope Peterson, as an executive producer, receives a decent payoff from all this. ---

NYCSI#1: “The deceased is a cop. Male, mid-thirties.” NYCSI#2: “What’s with the blood trail?” NYCSI#1: “Looks like he was chasing a suspect while flagrantly disregarding plice regulations and taking matters into his own hands.” NYCSI#2: “Estimated cause of death?” NYCSI#1: “Large chip on shoulder, slipped and lodged into chest.” NYCSI#2: “His ID?” NYCSI#1: “Officer Boscorelli.” ---

Nice to see Hill Harper latching onto “CSI: New York” after his old show, “The Handler,” unexpectedly fizzled. I think that Lab Girl with the bee-stung lips should be REQUIRED to pipette by mouth at LEAST once per episode. Who’s with me?!?!?!! “Mac Taylor” is a boring name. Surely they could have done better. ---

😃 at both **Fish** and **Eats Crayons**. And yes, it was a nice surprise to see Hill Harper again. What, **Snooooopy** , were we the only ones to watch _The Handler_? I liked that show. This one has potential, but the writing better get a whole lot better. And please, lose the damn blue filter. I hate it on _Joan of Arcadia_, when they use it in the police station and all the cop shots. Okay, okay; cops = blue. We get it already. > [@](#): > > hlanelee asked: > Correct me if I’m wrong, but when Lennie and Ed need help with a crime, don’t they call the CSU? I don’t watch that one, but on _Third Watch_ when Bosco and Yokas need help, they call **ESU.** Just so you know. 😉 ---

How about … **CSI: ¡El Paso!** EPCSI #1: “Hey, Chuy … check out dis muerto guy aqui.” EPCSI #2: “¡Penche! Dude smells like a ten dia old breakfast burrito tambien.” EPCSI #1: “¡Dios mio! Check out the way he’s leaning … he’s casting the shadow of la Virgen de Guadalupe en the edificio aqui!” EPCSI #2: “¡Chinga! ¡Don’t move el body, cabron! ¡It’s a sign!” The rest of the episode shows how the investigation is performed in a setting where the body can’t be moved, because it’s now a holy site and people from hundreds of miles around are making pilgrimages to see it. ---
