Sep 2 - Zuiker 'Tiptoes' Away From 'CSI' The 'CSI' creator gives new projects his attention but keeps an eye on the franchise. Contains minor spoilers.
I can't believe the Iraqi war has been going on for three years now. The war per se isn't too scary, the scary part is that in those four years the most productive thing I've done is move my car from the front of the house to the garage. It's amazing how vegetative a person can become once you give them a mouse and some internet freedom (curse you, Dancing Jesus! ... Ah, hell, I can't stay mad at you).
I've developed a shameless girlcrush on Lisa Edelstein (keep track of these, kids, there'll be a quiz at the end of the season). You might remember her as Laurie the hooker from The West Wing, Cindy the transexual from Ally McBeal, or Rhonda the lesbian from Relativity. Basically her resume had me at hello. You probably know her better as Dr. Lisa Cuddy from the awesomely awesome House. Lisa, and her character, is all kinds of talent and hotness, and I've always wondered why she's never been on CSI, cause she's done every show on television, movies, swear I heard her on Dora once. Anyway, her birthday is on May 21st. Mine is on May 12. Clearly we're meant to be.
Shameless plug: if you haven't, you have to watch House (I can say that, right? There is no CSI on Tuesday nights. Please, Mr. Bruckheimer, don't hurt my family!). Possibly the most clever telvision show after the demise of Arrested Development (damn you, Fox!). Hugh Laurie is a brilliant, brilliant man who should be praised with Emmys upon Emmys wherever he goes, because keeping an American accent alone has got to be the hardest thing ever, add to that the fact that he has to throw in some medical jargon and walk with a cane -- he's godly, basically. Lisa = hotness. Hugh = God. House = happiness in radiation form.

Zuiker Wants Every Night To Be A 'CSI' Night CSI creator Anthony Zuiker had just announced the creation of New York two years ago and wanted to expand the franchise even further. "We're just beginning to tap different avenues. As long as 50 percent feels fresh and 50 percent feels like where we came from, we're always going to be successful," he said.
'CSI' Shut Out At Golden Globes
In early 2004, Vanessa Ferlito talked a little bit about her character Aiden Burn, who used to go by the moniker Abigail Martin in those days. She's one of four or five CSIs. It's amazing. I read for [Anthony Zuiker] once, but not even for the role I got. It was for a different role, an older CSI named Stella."
Kanakaredes Goes From 'Providence' To 'New York'
The role of Stella Bonasera was later given to Melina Kanakaredes. Stella was back then described as a half-Greek, half-Italian crime scene investigator who "loves using [science] to bust the balls of suspects."

Why can't the CSIs get dates?
This Week On TV
Tonight at 10:00pm, CSI: Miami's new episode "Driven" will air on CBS. Here's how the network described it:
"After a group of wealthy women are robbed at a luxury day spa, evidence leads the the CSIs to believe that this is a part of a much larger car chopping scam and each of these women are being targeted for a home robbery. Matters become worse when Horatio discovers that Marisol was also at the spa during robbery and he must now protect her when her life is threatened. Meanwhile, Ryan must deal with the fallout after he freezes during a shootout."
On Wednesday night at 10pm, CBS will air the new CSI: New York episode "Necrophilia Americana." Here's a brief synopsis:
"Mac becomes particularly protective of the only witness in his murder investigation, a young boy found in shock at the exhibit, who after seeing the grizzly crime, confuses the events at the museum with a comic book he was reading at the time. The team works to discover if the motive was money, given the curator's wealth, or if the witness has something to do with it when the CSIs find he has ties to the victim. Meanwhile, Danny and Det. Flack are called to a construction site where a man is found dead with a mouth full of foam sealant, which leads them to an extreme golf association with members who play in the streets of the city's five boroughs."
Please note that CSI will most likely be on hiatus until the end of the month.
In addition to the above episodes on CBS, cable channel SpikeTV will of course continue its daily CSI repeats.
