I always DVR'd this show (and CSI: ) as well

yo yo.
Tonight is the season opener. (for the people who still like this show.)

Yes! And a prequel of sorts to boot!

Yes! And a prequel of sorts to boot!

How did they get the cast to look younger? Was it make-up, digital effects or dynamic noise reduction? However it was done, it looked convincing.

Weird episode tonight. Taking it back to 1997, it was cool to see how Delco and H knew eachother.
I did not recall a motive for the homicide.

No motive; peeping toms tend to up the ante over time and finally decided to do the deed but killed her in the process. I would have liked to have seen Speed, but at least they mentioned his name. Great episode (although I wish they had used Dennis Franz as Horatio's old boss -- would have been great to see them together again, even if only for an episode).

It was done with digital effects, like in Benjamin Button and the last X-Men film.

Great episode... anyone know the song playing at the end? Fit the ending pretty well.

I thought the fact that they addressed the origins of Caruso's "shades" was a nice nod to one of the more cheesy aspects of the show.

anyone watch the eppy last nite? suspect assaults lab, takes 4 people hostage, shoots 1 of them then eludes police.. Turns himself in and doesn't get handcuffed..:eek: He is allowed to hug his son goodbye then walks into police car. Come on, where is the Police consultant on this show? I know its Hollywood, but please don't insult our intelligence..

It was a great episode. Note: I don't watch the show for realism, I watch it for Caruso's seemingly intentional campy performance -- it's a hoot. I call him Batman; everytime he shows up, head tilted forward, arms akimbo, one rested on his gun I say, "Batman"! Last night's key Batman line: "Let's roll" -- Batman! I guess the new guy is okay; he's a pretty-boy, but he didn't play the roll that way. Plus, it's the most beautiful HD show out there now that Pushing Daisies is gone, although Trauma looked pretty darned nice last night too.

Yes, it's hard to take CSI Miami seriously. I gave up trying. My wife and I watch it all the time. I try to keep my mouth shut when they do something that is so outrageous you wonder what universe the producers and writers live in. But it's all fun. Where else can you go to see beautiful people show up at crime scenes in high heels and designer clothes. Or DNA evidence analyzed quicker than you can order a burger at the local drive in.

So I use the show to test my ability to turn off my analytical mind and just enjoy the pretty pictures. It's a struggle but I'll keep trying.:D

I watch this show primarily for the eye candy, certainly one of the most colorful shows in HD.

I agree Rob, one of the most colorful shows on tv.. a great demo for anyone who is on the fence about getting an HDTV.. notice how all the streets are wet? on all the shows it gives more contrast to the color..

Monday's episode appeared to have extra camera filtering. Looked close to 16X9 SD here (NYC's WCBS-DT via TWC to a Panasonic TH-64VX100U 1080p plasma). Hope that's only shooting by one of two camera units and it'll return to crisp, deep-focus HD next week. Otherwise, it's goodbye CSI:Miami here. -- John

I think I read somewhere that this season they're shooting 24p video instead of film. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the reminder. Looks like that is the case, according to a Millimeter article (http://digitalcontentproducer.com/cameras/revfeat/format_wars_0909/) last month:
While producers on some shows contacted by millimeter deny that switching to digital was mandated, they do concede that digital acquisition is being suggested as part of the general cost-cutting discussion. Like Ghost Whisperer, CBS’ original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Fox’s 24 recently researched transitioning to digital camera systems for the upcoming season, but eventually opted to return as 35mm-acquired shows. The other two CSI programs (CSI: Miami and CSI: NY), however, have already switched—as have many Fox shows, with more on the way. The vast majority of new shows greenlit for the coming season by major broadcast or cable networks are starting life with digital cameras. A prominent exception, however, is HBO, which continues to prefer film acquisition for its programming.
Puzzling the switch to digital capture, if that's the cause, was that dramatic, though. Theoretically, by eliminating one transfer stage (telecine from film negatives, used for TV productions, to tape/hard drives/chips), the PQ could improve (one less MTF multiplier), even though film still offers superior contrast to digital-cinema and other video cameras. -- John

Puzzling the switch to digital capture, if that's the cause, was that dramatic, though.

I saw the same issues that you mentioned. Like the Millimeter article points out, I know they switched to digital acquisition this season, but that would not seem to be the cause of what we're seeing other. Other shows have also switched and for the most part, the differences are minor. This looks more like they have become extremely aggressive in processing the image to achieve some kind of "look" -- in particular, they are removing all the detail from the faces. Did you take a look at Cheryl Ladd in last night's episode? Her face looked like it had been buffed clean with a belt sander. Same for some of the other characters, though not as severe.

There is some other stuff going on in there that it is difficult to pinpoint -- all I know for sure is, the image quality has gone downhill and there is something about the way it looks that is unsettling.

LOL. Yes, that's the first image that really caught my attention. Speculated it might have been some protect-the-aging-actress lunacy, but screwing up the PQ of the whole episode--other than stock Miami overflight scenes--is hard to believe. Also doesn't seem reasonable they're just learning the new equipment. -- John

I like that new CSI dude.

Yes, I'm sure this is all intentional. My wife told me she watched CSI:NY last night, and it had the same "problem." It will be interesting to compare this to CSI (the original), as they are sticking with 35mm film according to the Millimeter article.

^^^Bailed out of CSI:NY early this week, not wanting to sit through yet another serial-killer program. PQ, generally, didn't seem as bad as CSI: Miami (earlier above) in the part I caught. Planned on comparing the Vegas 35mm shoot with all-digital capture ( CSI NY, Miami), too, but due to conflicts this season I've been viewing CSI:Vegas a few days later on NYC TWC's network-shows HD VOD channel. Likely some PQ reduction there, too, but have only watched a few shows that way so it's not definite. -- John

I actually noticed this this weekend since we watched all 3 back to back. Miami was definitely the worst. However I did wish my grass looked that GREEN!

From Monday's (10/12) CSI:Miami it looked like they're not applying extreme filtering to all shows now that they're using digital-cinema cameras this season. Perhaps, as I speculated earlier above, this was just the alternate cinematography unit's approach. Faces, especially the CSI lab techs, now seem moderately fuzzed, but nothing like last week. -- John

Unlike an earlier over-blurred episode of CSI;Miami discussed above, CSI:NY last night (10/14) looked pretty good--relative to other HD shows at least. A September article in Millenium (link above) indicated both CSI:Miami and NY have switched to digital-camera capture while CSI:Vegas retains film capture. CSI:NY Wednesday seemed a little too dark for the frequent interior shots so I bumped the gamma setting on my plasma from 2.2 to 2.5, which helped. [Edit: Later, found that 2.0 seems best to lighten CSI NY's too dark scenes.] Now I've got separate cinema-mode memory settings for CSI Miami and the seemingly darker CSI:NY. -- John

nice sharp eppy last nite.. was the development at the end planned or did it surprise everyone else? PM me with your thoughts..

So the guy was trying to make it so when you pooped corn didn't come out like it currently does?

Yup, that was my understanding. I could be wrong.

The video is not as clean, smooth, sharp, and fluid as it was last year. The biggest negative I see is the large amount of “Video Noise”. It’s very distracting!

The “Video Noise” looks like film grain with "Rabbies"!

Nobody posting reaction about Eric? :eek:

He'll be back.

Got to love some of these story plot lines. Almost get sillier every episode :p
Last night's episode:
Employee's life insurance policies listed the employer's company as the beneficiary, then the CEO and CFO murdered their employees to collect their life insurance policy money.
Ha. Maybe that has happened in real life.

Yes, it's not unusual for large companies to buy life insurance for critical employees.

Yes, it's not unusual for large companies to buy life insurance for critical employees.
It might be unusual to kill them to get money from it.

Last night's episode, about a murdered census taker, seems a new low in fuzzy images. Remarkably soft pictures. Everything lacks HD detail, so that was my last episode after watching CSI:Miami from the beginning. It's a shame, after switching from 35mm to Red One digital-camera capture, they had to bring in so much filtering. -- John

2010 bump.
Tonight's episode. Hmm Calleigh Duquesne and Eric Delko in bed together :D

Yea, they have been hinting at this for a while now. I guess it was time to eliminate any doubts. Where do they go from here?:rolleyes:

It was good to see Anthony Michael Hall as the bad guy. I hadn't seen him since he was in the "Dead Zone". Good actor.

Since others in this thread have pointed out the "deficiencies" of several actresses in the series, I thought I'd throw out how badly AMH has aged. :(

Yes, I guess its hard to avoid that slightly bloated look when you age. I know a little about that. I had been slim all my life. But once I hit 50, bam! Suddenly I have to hit the gym on a semi-regular basis just to maintain some semblance of my old self. I guess actors are too busy to devote that much time to the gym. That's when they decide to go into their next phase as "character" actors.:D

Good episode last night.
The 'subject matter' was all new it seemed like.

CBS moves "CSI: Miami" to Sundays at 10PM next season; the new "Hawaii 5-0" remake takes over Mondays at 10: http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/cbs-unveils-2010-11-schedule/

That is indeed a wow.
Interesting move by CBS. I wonder how CSI: Miami will do on Sunday's considering it's been a Monday program for 4+ years.

Just watched a DVRd CSI: Miami. It was a lot of fun. They seem to have "juiced" up David Caruso's character for a change; reminded me a lot of his character on Michael Hayes (which I loved!).

And I'm so happy that Jesse is gone -- I actually cheered out loud when they pronounced him dead; that guy was a punk on the show and is a punk in real life. Still I hope they let him know last year that it was just a one-year gig while "Eric" was busy on Ugly Betty. Glad to have Eric back full-time this year.

And you have to love how intentionally cheesy the show can be. How funny was the last line last night, as H was about to shoot a digitally altered free-throw shot: "This is for Jesse." LOL. What if he missed, would that have been for Jesse? I love it.

meh. his death was so lame.. they lamely explained it.. like because he hit his head he died of oxygen depravation? I thought he died because he fell near the floor vent and breathe more gas than the others, they could also said that his head trauma was fatal but they didn't...

I called the accomplice was the blonde since she denied to answer Boa Vista's questions.

When she was tied up, I also commented out loud.. "that's a setup, rifle problably has no bullets or blanks"

This Sunday time slot is the kiss of death for this show. Viewership will decline drastically because nobody knows when the show will actually start due to the football delays. Also, all the DVR's that are set to record, will not record the actual show. Too bad.

If you record the show on a DVR just record the following show as well and you will get the entire thing (in most cases).

If you have Comcast, forget about the DVR and use On Demand. That's what I do and I never miss a beat!

But it may very well be the kiss of death although I hope not.

Yup, I just DVR it and watch in on Monday's at 10:00 just like always. I'm not a fan of H50 at all and miss CSI Miami in it's old time slot.

Also, all the DVR's that are set to record, will not record the actual show. Too bad.

If you have a good DVR it will be name based to record New episodes (Dish 722k) so it won't matter when they air.

I was not aware the Dish 722 had this capability. I have a DirecTV HR21 and I have to set it to record the following hour to make sure the show is recorded.

All Dish DVRs have name based capability for the last 2 years at least, even the solo HD receivers with an external hard drive can record this way.

TV Guide or whatever guide sets the weekly schedule

TV Guide or whatever guide sets the weekly schedule

Exactly. But the issue being discussed was that the start times are almost always delayed for Sunday night programming on CBS during football season. The guides are not updated within the short timespan between the end of the last game and the start of the regular programming. You indicated earlier that "it doesn't matter when they air". That's only true if the guide that your DVR relies on has been updated to reflect the delayed starting time. And that just doesn't happen . . .

Edit: I just noticed that you are on the west coast. You may not be affected by the delayed start times to the same degree that people in the Eastern or Central time zones are.

Yes, we on Eastern time are almost always affected by delayed start times on Sunday evening during football season. The only solution I know is to pad the recording time by an hour for the CBS Sunday evening programs.

My HD DVR reminds me of the recording one minute before the start of the show, so I change to CBS if they are running on schedule, if not, then I record more time.

Really a bad decision to change this program for Sunday in the evening. Why not earlier on Monday night? like 8:00pm?

I commented to my wife after the last 2 episodes that Emily Procter sure looked like she'd Struther'd up this season (props to Sally). I googled Ms. Procter and it turns out she's pregnant. Guess that's why every shot of her so far that I can recall is from her shoulders up if it's a tight shot or of her hidden behind some furniture/props if it's a distant shot.

After her lip/face job a few years ago I thought she'd lost her natural beauty--but after seeing her this season I was starting to think she'd hit the wall.

This last episode her lips look like she has a bad botox job.

This last episode her lips look like she has a bad botox job.

I just don't understand why women do this. She was so attractive without botox, and in my opinion didn't need any help. It's okay to grow old gracefully; why do these stars think they have to try to look like they're 25 for the rest of their lives.

I agree, it was difficult to ignore the engorged look of her lips.

Well, in her case, being an annoyingly terrible 42 year old actress, maybe she felt she needed something extra to stay fresh/vibrant/new, to compete with the younger talent hungry for work. Not that I agree with that, but it is an extremely cut-throat business where a puffier set of lips just might make the difference.

Looking at Emily Procter's lips the last few weeks reminded me of when I saw Taryn Manning pop up on Hawaii 5-0 last week---ouch---wtf are these women thinking when they muck up their lips/faces ?!?!?

Nikki Cox anyone ?!?!

Yes, Nikki Cox virtually destroyed her face and probably her career when she had her lip-job done, it was downright awful, I think she's made only one TV appearance since Las Vegas.

I sadly remember her appearance on an episode of "Ghost Whisperer" with her hubby Jay Mohr.

Ouch :eek:

As the episode unfolded with Joe LeBrock digging a hole in his jail cell, I thought I was watching Prison Break. I mean seriously that is the exact same thing that Scholfield, and Sucre did to break out of fox river. lol.

Good episode last night. Looks like Memo got away though. It will be interesting to see how they bring him down.

I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this question. For those who DVR'd the most recent show (10/24) did you find that you missed about the last 15 minutes of the show because for some reason Undercover Boss went that amount of time past it's allotted time? I'm in the Boston area with Comcast as my provider if that is of any useful info.

ftran -

That's because of football. All of the CBS Sunday night programming was running about 15 minutes late . . .

Get used to it........ It happens weekly until February. Usually it's more like 30-45 minutes. :eek:

Sure there was a lot of Boa Vista last Sunday and zero Procter?

I love Eva myself, she's so nice....

Calleigh is pregnant--they've been hiding her behind everything but Caruso's over the top smirks so far this year... :D

They could have written that into the show.. you know, last encounter with Eric, but maybe they'll have to get married and all that stuff... I'm sure H would be the godfather.. LOL

Eva is one HOT babe. WOW. One of the main reasons I watch this show just to see Eva. lol.

She does look spectacular, and while it's not old by any means, her actual age is 44.

She's one busy actress, Isn't she on some soap opera in the afternoon?

Moving CSI:Miami to Sundays was a bad idea.

There are still games playing right now (Chiefs/Raiders will to OT) pushing everyone at least an hour late.

I actually stopped watching this season after 3 episodes that I recorded turned out to be Undercover Boss.

This most likely will get pulled soon, but for those who have Comcast / FIOS / any other MSO that has CBS On Demand, tonight's CSI Miami that was scheduled to air is on VOD. Guess Comcast did not get the memo in time :)

so was the episode ever shown? I shut it off when I seen the schedule messed up at 10pm..

I just confirmed this. I let HD DVR record for two hours after 11:00pm, and when Undercover Boss finished, local news came on.

Unbelievable, CBS.

As was mentioned, last night's show is available via Comcast's On Demand. Just a typical, average show, IMHO.

I don't get why so many million viewers were watching a blowout game instead of CSI Miami..

I don't get why so many million viewers were watching a blowout game instead of CSI Miami..Because CSI MIami was not being broadcast!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Was CSI Miami on this Sunday my DVR did not record

Was CSI Miami on this Sunday my DVR did not record

Yes, at least on the West Coast. I haven't watched it yet but its' listed as a new episode. Last weeks episode also said new but it turned out to be a rerun.

My TiVo didn't record this Sunday's episode either. I know last week was listed as new but was a re-run because of football overrun, it recorded that one, not sure why it didn't catch this week's.

I know why it didn't record it, Sunday's episode was supposed to air last Sunday. The TiVo recorded what was broadcast(a re-run) last Sunday, and when that same episode listing showed up this Sunday the TiVo saw it as a repeat.

My D* DVR was slated to record the episode (we checked on Saturday and even padded the recording)...but I noticed last night that there was NO episode in the playlist.

So, I checked the history--and it says the recording was "cancelled" because of a programming update.

So--(at least on the Left Coast) an episode aired---but was it a re-run...or was it the same one from last Sunday night?

Did it air on the East Coast?


:confused:

Just got caught up on the last 6 episodes and my wife and I were commenting on how big Emily Proctor's lips have gotten again. The pregnancy lays some credence to the lips, but it looks like she is botoxing again and it looks bad.

I have only seen one episode this entire season. Dad was right, the switch to Sunday's hurt the viewing numbers.

Anyone watch the finale last night? It was a good one. Surley Horatio is not going to die. But, what about Boa Vista? I don't see how she is going to get out of that.

First and foremost, "Dad" is always right.

To ajaronis, she'll get out; Caruso, aka Batman, will dive in and open the trunk before she drowns. I'm hoping CBS saves this show by moving it back to Monday night, just before Hawaii Stink-O.

Does no one use a DVR anymore? I honestly couldn't tell you what channel/network or day/time any of the shows I watch are on. I gotta watch them once I suppose, but after that, we watching everything on the DVR, usually a day or two later.

I'm going to guess. The car manufacture issued a recall on a defective truck latch and it pops open and she lives.

or she has built in life preservers and will float to the top.:D:eek:

This was a pre-01 car.

I'm sure sunglasses will get up, pull the bullet out, call 911 says he needs backup, dive into the water, jimi the lock so the trunk will open, give her air, pull her up, give her mouth to mouth again, the ambulance will drive up, he will put on his glasses, and then say some cheesy line while walking away and putting his glasses back on.

YES!!! And that's why I like the show. Give me campy, cheesy Horatio, aka Batman, and I'll be a happy man. It's fantasy. I hate shows that take themselves too seriously. I still hate the fact that they've taken away Horatio's little quips right at the beginning of the show before The Who song; every once in a while he gets one in, but that used to be the hallmark of the show. I miss it.

Horrible, just horrible. Checked back in because it was the season finale and to see Natasha Henstridge. The writers and actors have mailed it in. H is just pitiful, collecting a pay-check, no wonder the ratings have dropped. Nice to see the Sergeant get whacked up-side his head, he has been annoying since he was on Jag... If this show isn't on the bubble, it should be....

Well then, check back out and don't look back. I'm guessing most of us like it because it is a bit cheesy. As for ratings, CBS didn't do the show any favors by moving it to Sunday night; looks like they're trying to kill it. It's a shame; it's a fun show.

AMC Acquires Off-Network Rights To ‘CSI: Miami’, Boosting Series’ Renewal Chances
By Nellie Andreeva, Deadline.com - December 9th, 2011

This is an odd pairing — Don Draper and Horatio Caine will now be on the same network! In its first off-network acquisition, AMC, home of Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, has picked up off-network rights to CBS’ veteran procedural CSI: Miami. The deal with CBS Television Distribution, said to be worth tens of millions of dollars, covers the existing 10 seasons of CSI: Miami as well as Seasons 11 and 12 if produced. (Today’s deal certainly increases the chances of the show continuing on CBS beyond the current 10th season). With the exception of Seasons 11 and 12, which AMC would get exclusively, the pact is non-exclusive. A&E, which had been the exclusive cable home of CSI: Miami, will continue to air the show from 6 AM-4 PM. AMC is getting fringe and primetime rights with a 4 PM-6 AM window. The drama starring David Caruso will make its debut on AMC on January 2 at 5 PM and will air in the hour Monday through Friday.

CSI: Miami is part of the hugely popular CSI franchise and one of the most-watched series in the world. As a procedural, it also is highly repeatable, which is key for cable networks looking for ways to enhance their lineups. As an hourlong, CSI: Maimi will also give AMC flexibility scheduling-wise. So far, the network had been able to complement its original series only with movies, which are harder to schedule because of their varying length. Still, CSI: Miami, a meat-and-potatoes procedural that has never been nominated for major awards, seems like an odd companion to AMC’s lineup of acclaimed originals. Additionally, it is interesting that in its evolution, AMC is taking a direction opposite to the conventional one. Most cable networks start with off-network product and gradually expand into originals; AMC established itself as a strong original series player before venturing into off-network acquisitions.

Horatio is still the king of cheese....

Sales of sunglasses would go through the roof. With the proviso that they usually be removed when near the end of a swaggering sentence.
