Friday May 16, 2008 | CSI: Jump The Shark | Entertainment |
The CSI armada of shows is sailing in shark-infested waters and each of the shows is jumping them.
CSI: Miami jumped years ago. I stopped watching when I couldn't take the show, or David Caruso, seriously anymore. The only time I see the show is on The Soup, when they make fun of David Caruso.
The original CSI is usually pretty good, but it had a potential shark moment with the episode written by the guys who write Two and a Half Men. That idea doesn't even sound good on paper, so I can only assume it was some bizarre concession made to end the writers' strike.
And while CSI: NY as never been awesome, I watch it when I can. That may change if the New Yorkers don't stop being so Web 2.0 savvy, or at least thinking that they're savvy. It's bad enough when they try to solve crimes in Second Life, but the most recent episode actually featured the following line when tracking down a kidnapped blogger, who continued blog while captured:
I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic. See if I can track an IP address.
-- Spoken by Agent Dumbass
Are you freaking kidding me? That is just so wrong on so many levels. I had flashbacks to the magical "Unix GUI" in Jurassic Park. She might as well have said, "I'm going to draw a pretty picture with Crayola Brand crayons."
I could not watch any more after that. I should just delete that episode from my TiVo before those bits corrupt any of my other shows with their lameness.
Update: Look for CSI: Target soon.
