Six-Letter Post Office [2]

I would hope that the paucity of evidence causes no delay in solving the heinous crime.
Such paucity may cause a few investigators to employ a colorful clause occasionally, requiring them to request Horatio Caine be put on the case! ;)

p.d. I knew some of CSI: Miami was total b.s. (especially this one ep where this baby's kidnapped out of a mother's stroller), but although independent probability proved it impossible, the way the writers and Caruso played up that scene made me believe they would get the baby back--ultimate example of suspending disbelief by convincing the audience despite reality.

And in so doing, they would merely suckle at the teat of fiction.

(Pretty much all of it was bs. It was signaled, perhaps, in the theme song: "Don't Get Fooled Again." At least the Vegas and New York "CIs" didn't get fooled the first time. and, btw, the Vegas lab would have loved to have the space, let alone the equipment, that the show's lab had.)

A few things were real, but when I discovered the actual location wasn't Miami where they filmed it, that information made a sulker out of me for a while.

p.d. Turns out the location was a vacated bank building in Santa Barbara, CA. I knew they had to use a lot of rapid-shot collages of Miami, as tons of the landmarks exist...but yeah, that stunk. At least they really did film The Punisher (2004) in Tampa Bay at different places.

Surely you didn't expect any reality in such a show!

(Btw, the Las Vegas CSI actors often visited the actual Vegas lab and were friendly with the real crime investigators.)

Not really, although I only sourly admit how much of a turn off it was to not be able to see an actual building used in Miami, since I wanted to visit at the time.

p.d. Then the Las Vegas version should have been more authentic if they used that.

An hourly-based tv show is designed to entertain more than instruct.

(There was much fiction in all the CSI shows; Las Vegas often strained credulity with their devices and analytic tools. The three shows combined gave prosecutors headaches as defense attorneys often asked for tests and analyses that didn't really exist.)

At least none of the ones on CSI appeared to be churls.
