CSI Preview: The Lighter Side of Crime Solving | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/4/2007
Last week, months of speculation came to an end with an eighth-season opener that kept us on the edge of our seats and finally revealed Sara Sidle's fate (she's alive, but how long will she stick around?). Tonight's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (9 pm/ET, CBS), entitled "A la Cart" and written by Sarah Goldfinger and Richard Catalani, offers a breather, an episode that's "slightly more lighthearted and should be fun for the audience," says Catalani. Our favorite clue-finders dive into two ... read more
CSI Stars Spend a Night at the Museum | TV Guide News Report | 5/24/2007
You know your show is a pop-culture phenomenon when a museum exhibit opens in its honor. But that’s exactly what’s happened to CSI. All the cast members from the CBS megahit came out to Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry last night to celebrate CSI: The Experience, which opens to the public on Friday, May 25. “This exhibit feels like a pat on the back for a job well done,” says George Eads. After the ribbon cutting, William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger and the rest... read more
Tony Awards: Let's (Again) Put On a (Hostless) Show! | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2007
For the second year in a row, CBS' broadcast of the Tony Awards will be host-free, Playbill.com reports. Instead, a cavalcade of big-name actors will engage in awkward banter before bestowing the awards on June 10. Presenters include Liev Schreiber, David Hyde Pierce and Kevin Spacey, all of whom are currently gracing the Great White Way, as well as past Broadway babies like Vanessa Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Rainn Wilson and William Petersen. Marg Helgenberger will be there, too. (We hear... read more
April 26, 2007: Happy | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 4/27/2007
As I begin, it's now exactly 34 minutes past the end of this week's episode and I'm still laughing. What a riot this was. You know Brass always brings a little bit of humor and he dominated this episode from the start. So, let's see. Our boxer "Happy" gets injected with snake venom, then has a severe allergic reaction to shellfish, which transferred to him via some "very special first-aid." Then as his lungs are tightening and he's about to lose all his air, he gets an arrow through the throat... read more
At the Movies: CSI's Marg Joins Big-screen Heist | Today's News: Our Take | 4/25/2007
Per the Hollywood Reporter, CSI's Marg Helgenberger has been cast as the disgruntled ex-wife of Val Kilmer's master thief in Columbus Day, a crime drama being produced by Kevin Spacey and also starring Wilmer Valderrama.... Robin Williams and John Travolta are Old Dogs in a Disney comedy about two business partners who find themselves minding 7-year-old twins. Also in the cast are Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, and their daughter, Ella.... Julia Stiles will produce and star in an adaptation of... read more
April 12, 2007: ? | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 4/13/2007
A question mark. That pretty much sums up my feelings for this episode of CSI. What a bizarre ride this one was. I'm an outspoken guy and usually have plenty of words to convey my feelings, but I'm not sure what to say for this one. I can't take the straight-up recap approach because there was only about 10 minutes of new, interesting substance. So instead, I'm going to bullet-point my thoughts and you can feel free to comment on them. — First of all, half of this episode was like a bad... read more
February 8, 2007: The Return of Grissom | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 2/9/2007
It's time for everyone to disagree with me again. When my opinion about an episode sways drastically one way or the other, it usually means everyone will think the exact opposite. So here's your chance. This was the best episode of the season! If there were still any lingering questions about Keppler possibly showing up in a few episodes with Gil, they are all gone now. Last week, what I thought was a clear assumption that Keppler killed this "Amy" girl wasn't true at all. And thinking he... read more
Acting It Up at the SAG Awards | Roush Dispatch | 1/29/2007
Yes, that was my shout of glee that woke up the neighbors Sunday night when Chandra Wilson was named outstanding female actor in a drama series for Grey’s Anatomy. At long last, Miranda Bailey has been given her due, and the wonderful Ms. Wilson rose to the occasion with a rapturous acceptance speech, acknowledging how unlikely it would be for someone with her skin, her nose, her height, her weight, to be accepted in this industry. (I think I also yelped in delight when the entire... read more
January 18, 2007: Gil Who? | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 1/19/2007
No, no, no. I'm just kidding with the title of my blog. I wouldn't want to start a quarterback controversy here. Is the show better off without William Petersen? Is the fresh blood of Liev Schreiber a nice jolt of energy? Can no one ever match up with Gil Grissom? All very good questions, which I can let you decide. But let me share my thoughts. Hello, Mr. Mike Keppler. A nice dark, mysterious intro followed by him walking up to the body and touching it. Good start, buddy. And right there we... read more
January 4, 2007: Bye Bye, Gil | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 1/5/2007
Welcome to 2007, everyone. I planned on an emotional ride for my first new episode of the calendar year, but I really didn't get that. Grissom's going on sabbatical — we knew that part. How the last episode played out was going to be the story. But it really wasn't. There wasn't that much drama at all. Hodges was the first to find out and got him a college sweatshirt and started talking to Gil about his "crazy times" at the school since he was a student there. Cat then found out she was... read more
December 7, 2006: Hi, Max | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 12/8/2006
What a weird way to close out 2006 for CSI. We ended up with one of the funniest cases in recent memory and found out the identity of the miniature killer. But at least for me, many things just didn't make any sense. As usual, I'm probably the only one that can't understand some of these quirks in the story line, but that's why I have you to help me out. Bumbling Max Sullivan made for the unusually funny story line. Max's "bad day" started when he was a kid and killed his grandmother by putting... read more
November 30, 2006: Toe Tags (Repeat) | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 11/30/2006
Hey everyone, Tonight's episode is a repeat from earlier in the season. This is the one where the five dead bodies talk. I'm reposting my commentary from that week. Feel free to comment here if you watch the show again and feel inclined to leave your thoughts. Next week is a new episode so I'll be back then to recap. Recap from 10.5.2006As many of you already know, I'm more of a fan of one or two cases that take the entire show to solve. I love all the intricate details of the case and the... read more
November 23, 2006: Road Pizza | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 11/24/2006
"Mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. Whoooooo!"Gobble gobble everybody. For those of you outside of the celebrating country, you really are missing out on a wonderful day. This tryptophan is going to let me get a great night sleep. I wish the day didn't have to end but it does, so what better way than with an entertaining CSI. Let me say it up front and get it out of the way now. If CBS was going to show a repeat next week, then why not push the new episode off of Thanksgiving Day and... read more
October 5, 2006: No Brainer | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/6/2006
As many of you already know, I'm more of a fan of one or two cases that take the entire show to solve. I love all the intricate details of the case and the mystery surrounding the evidence and I usually hate the episodes where things come too easily for everyone involved. For once though, I think the quick and relatively easy worked for me. To start, I was pleasantly surprised the show wasn't all dead bodies talking to me. I was at least expecting them to narrate the crime scene but it's great... read more
September 28, 2006: Malibu Barbie Did It? | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 9/29/2006
So now we know why we sat through the boring part of last week — the suicide was only half the story. The conclusion of the season-opener was exciting, creepy and confusing — everything that makes a good episode of CSI. Last week ended with a blood-soaked Danny Bonaduce dead on a table with a model of the kitchen, down to the utensils and the blood splatter, right next to him. In the investigation we get a very talkative "Annie the nanny" walking about in the house in just her bra,... read more
September 21, 2006: They're Back.... | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 9/22/2006
Ah, haven't you missed those great shots of the Vegas skyline? The smell of stale blood and gunpowder residue? Hodges' smoothly relating everything he does to women, even if only talking about his mother? It must be CSI in the air. I hope that many of you are going to join me in conversation this season and that McDreamy hasn't taken you away. Last season, a lot of people complained that the last few episodes contained more character development than crimes. I hear this season we'll have a good... read more
Press Tour Diary: CBS, Day 2 | Ausiello Report | 7/17/2006
CBS is taking it easy on us today, scheduling just four sessions, including the eagerly awaited Katie Couric panel and a Q&A with the cast of CSI (sans William Petersen). We're also having lunch with Rachael Ray, and my Aunt Joan will flay me if I don't hit her up for VIP. tickets to her new talk show. I cannot go back home to New York without those tickets.
