Nancy, I am not a Jim Carrey fan but he nailed Caruso's mannerisms in that bit! On all of the CSI shows they do that "buttoning the scene" trick, but Caruso is so obvious with it.

I have friends who talk about being "taken out" of the story by something -- meaning that something is so jarring that stop enjoying the story and focus on the mechanics of creating the show. That's what Caruso's portrayal of Horatio does for me. He always makes me stop and think, "No one talks like that in real life!"

There was a YouTube video that was just a long string of all the Miami intro "tag lines" with the YAAAAAAGGHHHHH after it - it was SO funny! Now every time we watch a Miami we think about that. Horatio pretty much always puts on his glasses during the line too.

Miami is mostly what runs on TV here so that's what we tend to watch. I like all three but we don't watch any of them "sequentially" - my boyfriend has them on in the background while he surfs in the living room so I end up hearing them as I work in my office. They all show randomly during the day so we rarely get any sense of continuity about character story arcs or such. It can be very confusing

Seven minutes of Horatio One Liners! You're right totally funny. Here it is if you want to relive it:

What is funny is we really don't watch it a lot but it's on right now while I work on my laptop and I've seen these episodes before. So they must just have a few that they keep circulating in rotation.

How do those police investigators have such gorgeous work environments? Do you think CSI people really work in offices like that?

The real work environments aren't nearly as photogenic! Especially in respect to dramatic lighting.

This is funny because, I watch CSI and DH doesn't. It always seems to be the same repeats because DH will walk in the room and recognize it. He always asks why the men have bullet proof vests on all the time time but the women usually don't (except Sarah).

The thing that gripes me about "Miami" is that the real CSI's in the real city of Miami DO NOT CARRY WEAPONS. I e-mailed CBS the very first season and asked why they didn't set their CSIs in a more realistic fashion, and never heard from them...Imagine that!

I love them all, and DVR all of them! That's one of my guilty pleasures.

Now thats funny, I didn't know that BUT I also imagine the real Miami CSIs actually work in Miami. It annoys me its not filmed there for real. So often I see scenes that I know for sure aren't in South Florida. I guess alot of people wouldn't get that but since I live here I do.

I still love it though. I loved the scene where one of the guys, I think it was Delco was diving into some fresh water and Horatio stood by with a rifle just in case a gator came out. People from elsewhere probably think that was over the top but even with Horatio and a rifle I wouldn't get into fresh water here in Florida.

I'm a big fan of the original. I just love Grissom. I've been watching that since its premiere.
