CSI- Miami

Dan and I just recently got on the CSI boat- we had friends that swore it was a great show, but we didn't start watching until TiVo recorded some episodes as suggestions about a year ago. Now, we're HOOKED! So naturally, we wanted to get all the CSI we can get: there's the original, CSI Las Vegas, and CSI New York. But the most ridiculous show (that for some reason, we still find ourselves watching?) is CSI: MIAMI.

THIS ARTICLE is absolutely genius- it calls CSI: MIAMI the greatest worst show of all time. Mostly, because of David Caruso's HILARIOUS portrayal of Horatio Caine. First of all, why is a red-headed IRISH guy playing a Latino character named Horatio? And why does he have to keep taking his sunglasses on and off, and then squinting? If you're squinting because the sun hurts your eyes, just leave the glasses ON!

Here's a portion of the article which is linked above, about Horatio Caine:

"Caine repeats other characters' names multiple times in one sentence for no reason, and always stands at bizarre angles where he's never quite looking at whoever he's talking to. He's constantly removing or putting on his sunglasses, and he makes profound-sounding declarations that are actually trite and trivial. He talks to everyone as if they're children, and although he experiences emotion, doesn't express it verbally or non-verbally.

Caine also walks away in the middle of conversations, and appears just as unexpectedly. On one episode, he appeared in the middle of a street that was just shown to be empty in a wide shot, as if he was some kind of magician.

This magical, odd Caine is the series' worst character, yet he's also the lead, and because he's at its helm, the show teeters toward the being absolutely ridiculous instead of just vaguely believable."
