David Caruso
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
There was a situation at Casa Staring last night. While reviewing the TV guide, the DH and I noticed that FOUR shows we wanted to watch were all on at 10:00 p.m.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Project Runway 3
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
CSI: Miami
We are a non-TiVo household and, clutch your pearls, we only own one television. (It's one way for a couple to learn how to negotiate and compromise, let me tell you.) So that left us with deciding which show to watch, which to tape and which two would be left in the dust.
Studio 60 got my vote because I love the premise and, from what I learned in comedy school and through documentaries about Second City and Saturday Night Live, they appear to be playing it pretty close to how things work - and fail - in putting a sketch show together for broadcast week after week. (Man, that was a long sentence, my apologies.) The DH also gave this one a nod.
Project Runway 3 got another vote from me because I loved Season 2, even though David didn't win. And who can forget Santino's awesome Tim impersonations? "Andre, what happened to Andre?" The DH said he could live without seeing another episode of this program. Whatever.
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares received a vote from both the DH and I since we think it's fun watching someone try to swear more than anyone else in the United Kingdom. It's also interesting seeing the kind of crap some restaurants pass off as fine cuisine. Eww.
CSI: Miami is our favourite of the CSI roster. We both give it two thumbs up with at least two badly acted lines of dialogue filled with meaning and purpose. While wearing cool shades.
As it turns out, Project Runway 3 and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares are repeated later in the week. Which left us with deciding which of the two remaining shows to tape.
With CSI: Miami's season opening featuring an angry redhead travelling to Brazil to deliver a heaping can of whoop-ass to an evil drug lord, we elected to watch David in action and tape Studio 60.
Which brings me to ask, what is it about David Caruso that is so engaging? The man is obviously the only successful graduate from the William Shatner School of Acting. Is it the combination of his deep husky voice and the volume of homicides? Hmm. Could be. Or how he tells every single child of a murder victim that he'll do whatever it takes to find the bad guy, and then phones or pays them a visit when the job is done?
You never see the other CSI guys doing that, at least not at such a frequency.
Thankfully the selection of shows tonight aren't nearly as tempting, or on at the same time.

I'm saving my TV time for Thursday.
Grey's Anatomy.
Wait.
GREY'S ANATOMY.
Yeah, I could say it louder, but people at work already think I'm weird.
I wanna see Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. When's it coming here?
David is actually a really good acotr, just doing what he can with shitty material.
Watch him in some of the movies he had made (preferable Proof of Life, Jade or Kiss of Death) and you see a much greater range from him.
Thanks for dropping by lacyleanne! I'm not sure if I could handle seeing David Caruso in another role, I'm so used to him being so...Horatio.
"Studio 60" all the way -forget Caruso he's horrible.
Too bad Studio 60 seems to have disappeared from Canadian television...
Caruso can't act his way out of a paper bag
