A Little CSI: Miami Madness for the Weekend


Mo'Kelly is largely a fan of "original" television programs. The original Law & Order. The original CSI, the original Flavor of Love. Their spin-offs usually are enjoyable in their own right but often fail to evoke the same level of appreciation from Mo'Kelly.

Take CSI: Miami for example. It's a horrible show. It just is. Don't care what the ratings say, don't care what network PR people say. It's a horrible show.

But it's HILARIOUS! HEE-LARRY-US!

The melodramatic, over-the-top, cliche delivery of lead actor David Caruso is simply too hilarious for words. It's SO bad...it becomes funny after awhile. And after so many seasons, it seems the writers (and Caruso) are INTENTIONALLY trying to be melodramatic and over-the-top.

Mo'Kelly's not alone in his opinion. A signature of the show CSI: Miami is that Caruso comes across the random dead person for that particular episode, utters a horrible one-liner while cocking his head to the side and putting on his sunglasses...even if he's indoors.

This youtube compilation video of Caruso's one-liners below PERFECTLY captures the essence of the horrid nature of this show. And its horrid nature is why Mo'Kelly just can't stop watching it...ashamed to say. It's like a train wreck...no matter how grisly the carnage is...just can't turn away.

The running joke of David Caruso has become so rampant, that it's become fodder for late night comedy. Check out Jim Carrey's spot-on rendition of Caruso. (Note, you HAVE to watch the one-liner compilation video above to fully appreciate Carrey's bit in the video below.)



Have a great weekend everyone. Mo'Kelly's hosting a fight party (Antonio Margarito V. Miguel Cotto) but will be back here on Sunday evening with commentary on the 'other' battle, Terrence Howard V. Bill Cosby.

It's getting ready to get hot up in here...you can best be sure.

Like your post and agree with most of what you have said. CSI Miami is horrible because of David Caruso. Whatever little talent David Caruso may have it is NOT ACTING. ...LOL

Wow, that was Hella Funny! I don't watch tv anymore, but I have seen CSI Miami a couple times, but not enough to realize how... cliche his little one-liner moments have become. But that you-tube thingy put it in perspective.

Oh, and HOLY CRAP!! What's that about Bill Cosby vs Terrance howard?!? Is Howard critisizing Cosby's harsh stance on many Af-Am issues? Why? Who gave him time on the mic? What in-depth investigations into the issues surrounding Af-Ams has Howard done? What has Howard done now?

Don't you hate when people who should keep their mouths shut, start talking in front of cameras?

Hi-friggin-larious! I couldn't agree with you more. I watch it like the train wreck it is and laugh through most of it. But Caruso can't take all of the bad acting credit. The rest of the cast is pretty bad in their own right. LOL!!!
