Three reasons to
watch CSI NY
watch CSI NY
BESIDES THE OBVIOUS. Yeah, the plots are silly and the murders they solve are usually straight out of Ripley's Believe it or Not, AND the graphics technology in their lab seems more reminiscent of a supercomputer manufacturer than a budget-challenged Manhattan police precinct. BUT...
There are at least three reasons for tuning in, regardless of the show's manifold faults. Third is the recent addition of Emmanuelle Vaugier as a police detective.
Vaugier
is hot. Can she act? We have no idea.
Second is the co-starring presence of the Greek bombsell Melina Kanakaredes. Who cares if it's only a remote eventuality that a CSI would interrogate suspects and crawl through crime scenes in a low-cut blouse perpetually on the verge of contaminating the evidence with a sudden spillage of breast tissue? We certainly don't.
Melina is hot. This is one of her more modest work outfits.
First, though, is Mac, the Boss. He's unique among TV show bosses. He fires people. He has ethics. He makes demands on his staff. He chews them out when necessary. He lowers the boom on self-indulgent behavior. And he doesn't always kiss and make up afterwards. What a concept.
Mac's
Brit girlfriend was hot, too, while she lasted.
Plus, he's played by Gary Sinise. Whom we admire enormously. Because he's an honest-to-God man.
He's
there for our guys in the military. Continuously.
Watching CSI New York keeps
Gary Sinise prosperous enough to fund all the good he does for our troops.
We don't care how stupid the plots get. We watch. It's our patriotic
duty. Yours, too.
