CBS's CSI MIAMI 1.1!!
|
I am – Hercules!!
This is the big one, the new show most likely to succeed. The original “CSI” is CBS’s biggest drama, this spinoff has weakish competition in “Crossing Jordan” and football, and it’s even got the great Emily Procter, who plays Ainsley Hayes on “West Wing”!
10 p.m. Monday. CBS.
All evidence points to another hit. This franchise could be as durable as NBC's Law ! Order brand. Caruso made a strong impression in a May CSI episode, and Delaney should be a perfect partner.
Taut and tense, show boasts the twists, turns, gadgets and gimmicks made famous by its Las Vegas-set progenitor. It could, however, use a dash of personality -- everybody is relentlessly dour. Regardless, this is the fall season's best freshman bet for a breakout hit.
The consensus among industry analysts is that "CSI: Miami" is the surest bet among all three dozen or so new network shows this fall. It is a forecast largely based on pedigree and time slot and only partly justified by the quality of the show itself. … It's a better-than-average yarn, slightly weakened by incongruously stiff dialogue that sometimes borders on the pedantic. ("The problem with the obvious? It can sometimes make you overlook the evidence," lectures by-the-book Megan to go-with-your-gut Horatio.)
I am – Hercules!!
