• Stephen Schleicher at Broadcast Newsroom has declared himself a TiVo addict. This handy piece of technology ensures that he never misses a moment of CSI each week: "If I am watching a live show, and the cat throws up on the carpet, I can push the pause button, clean up the mess, and when the cat is feeling better, resume watching CSI, or CSI: Miami, or CSI: New York, without missing a beat."

• The new CSI: Miami computer game didn't exactly get the thumbs-up from Alex Navarro at Gamespot. He said the game doesn't offer anything more than the last CSI release, Dark Motives:

  Like its most recent predecessor, CSI: Miami is a game that traditional adventure fans will simply balk at due to its rudimentary mechanics and marginal difficulty. However, unlike its most recent predecessor, fans of the TV show probably won't get a whole lot out of it either.

  The game was given a score of 6 out of 10 in the complete write-up.

• The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is running an article on how serialised dramas are forcing procedural TV shows to show more of the human side to entice viewers.

• An opinion piece at CantonRep.com looks at the various genres of music used in TV show credits, including the three songs by The Who that open the CSI series. "When it had the chance to sell its music rights to make big bucks on TV, you didn't have to hit Pete Townshend and his compadres over the head with a guitar to say yes," wrote Jeff Verbus. Read the complete piece at this page.

• Recent updates at JorjaFox.net include scans from Entertainment Weekly and photos from CSI's 100th episode party.

• "Which CSI is the best?" asks Ira Simmons at ChronWatch. She praises the original CSI's ensemble cast, Miami's David Caruso (Horatio Caine) and calls New York a "certified hit".

• Sofia Milos (Yelina Salas) is featured in the December 2004 issue of Zinc Magazine. Shots from the issue can be found at her official web site.

• TV critic Phil Rosenthal from the Chicago Sun-Times recently pointed out how many television detectives are played by actors from Chicago, including William Petersen's Gil Grissom and Gary Sinise's Mac Taylor.
