David Caruso REVEALED

It takes but a ripple to start a tsunami. Yeah, that's a stretch. However, when we get four (4) emails within minutes from diverse locales, all on the same subject, all in a lather over a single comment, one has to sit up and take notice. This was but one, and the calmest, of the messages we received. "In reference to the official magazine-has David taken leave of his senses?" As we suggested in response to these queries, there is a body of activity in play here, not an isolated incident. A lengthy pattern of behavior from the fanbase underbelly, which attempts to establish ... Read Full Story

Ever watch the Geico Gecko? Always in trouble for a situation beyond his control, perpetually with that 'WTF' look. We commiserate, aware more often than not we march to an entirely different tune than the typical fan (is there such a thing?). There is often an inner struggle with the natural (for us) instinct to retaliate with reason and logic when reading comments from some of the more rabid fans of "CSI Miami", though we're virtually certain those concepts are foreign to the most vociferous.

After a few weeks of making earnest attempts to catch as many new or nearly new couch potato offerings as possible, our former opinion of tv as 'a vast wasteland' is intact. Not one of the new shows has managed to grab our attention. "The Good Wife", "NCIS Los Angeles", "Hank" and "Cougar Town" are prime examples of poor imitations, without benefit of any creative spark. The actors on each do fine work, hamstrung by the quick fix, rubber stamp mentality of the networks and producers. As much as Bochco is not our favorite, for obvious reasons, he hit the ground running with David ... Read Full Story

The link below is to Scott Parker's excellent review of "Bad Seed" on "CSI Miami" last night, far more thorough and objective than ours. The contrasting perceptions are worth the read. Good job again, Scott. We also wish to extend our appreciation to TPTB at "CSI Miami" for the subdued entry of the opening theme by "The Who" that we've witnessed this season. It's a welcome change. The tractability of the beginning chords, underscoring the one-liner(s), building audibly into the credits, leaves an anticipatory impression on the audience. Jolting of the senses, so important to a stage performance for a rock band, takes on ... Read Full Story

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is Election Day throughout The US. It's the only voice most of us have in determining who makes our laws. Make yours count. Many states are voting only on issues and local offices; a few are electing governors. Every one is important. We're voting here on casino gambling (by a gaming monopoly), a prime issue affecting farming regulations, plus most mayoral, council and trustee races, and a few levies. Our primaries in September had one of the lowest turnouts ever, less than 15% in some areas. Our unique position this year allowed us to do primary voting in Michigan, general voting in ...
