The most watched U.S. television series worldwide is currently CSI: Miami. The show premiers on TV Nova tonight at 9:10 p.m. under its Czech title Kriminálka Miami. It’s going to be dubbed of course, probably very well, considering the overall high quality of Czech dubbing.
I love the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (in Czech Kriminálka Las Vegas). I used to watch it in the U.S. and now I occasionally enjoy reruns on TV Nova where the show is in its second season. It must be popular here as well because it was moved to an earlier time a while back and has been aired twice a week. It looks like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation may start taking turns with CSI: Miami from now on. Maybe it’s time I gave the latter a chance.
And what ever happened to CSI: NY with Lieutenant Dan – sorry, Gary Sinise in it? It started around the time Jeff and I left the U.S., so we never saw a single episode. I wonder if it’s any good.
Dana,
You are not missing much. I am a fan of both of the older CSI’s. I was exited to try the New York series because I like Gary Sinise. Unfortunately the CSI: NY’s stories are over the top and not in a good way. The writers seem to think that the weirder the cases the more interesting the show. There is no humanity in this series. None of the characters, whether the good guys or the bad guys grab your imagination. Everyone seems to just go through the motions. It is total waste of time as far I am concerned.

Hi Lucia,
Thanks for filling me in regarding CSI: NY. Come to think of it, what makes me enjoy the original CSI so much is not only the subject matter but also the characters and the humanity you mentioned.
