They made me go to Miami!

I’m a huge fan of the original CSI. I’ve watched the repeats so many times on Spike that I can usually figure out which epi it is in the first 5 minutes. I also watch CSI: NY, though not quite as obsessively (Mmmm, Eddie Cahill). But I have never been able to get through more than a few minutes of CSI: Miami, until last night. And I gotta tell you, it was NOT easy.

If you are a fan of CSI: Miami, you might want to wander off, because I’m probably about to insult you. How can anyone watch that crap!

How to navigate Thursday night TV

Why do they do this to us? Why do they have to stick all the good shows on one night? Let’s look at 9PM (Eastern) on Thursday:

CBS – CSI
NBC – The Office & 30 Rock
FOX – Fringe
ABC – Grey’s Anatomy
CW – Supernatural
And part of the season
USA – Burn Notice

Not Buck Wild

Why does Joe Buck call baseball games for Fox? He makes it abundantly clear that he isn’t interested in the game – he couldn’t sound more bored. Except for when he is being sarcastic about the players, coaches, umpires, advertisers, and pretty much everything else. So why is Buck there? Do they not pay him enough for football? Does he just not want to go home?

Jon & Kate Plus Nausea

While flipping through the channels last night, I settled on TLC for a few moments. In the corner of the screen was one of those constant, annoying text ads for an upcoming show. I find those ads moderately annoying (especially the USA ones with little tiny people running across the bottom of the screen – creepy!). But this one was worse – “Kate’s Story”, Monday night at 8 PM. Why?

• It’s sad that I know who “Kate” is, without even stopping to think about it.
