Is CSI Miami the new "Miami Vice"?

I love the show too, I seem to remember a Porsche 911 Turbo on the land mine episode and multiple exotics throughout the series.

 

I think you have a point.

David Caruso's over the top almost cartoon style of acting and the gorgeous women (Eva LaRue is my favorite) that come to work collecting evidence at crime scenes wearing white with practically endless cleavage. The cars, the water, the pastel colors it's Miami Vice all over again.

 

emily proctor and eva larue aren't too bad...i remember a couple of episodes with 430's, a murcielago, diablo, and bentley azure off the top of my head. not the greatest acting, but i do enjoy the show.

 

I started to get hooked on it because of my girlfriend first episode yellow Diablo, oh ya it's the new Vice I think we should give a suggestion to the writers to give Horatio (David Caruso) a Ferrari instead of that Hummer I mean the faster to a crime seen the better chance of apprehending the culprit. Am I right . lol

 

Only the setting is the same.

 

++. And it is not just a question of the cars. When David Caruso gets into a gunfight with Mob hitmen in his front living room and has to shoot out his own electrical box to douse the lights, then we will know we have a successor.

Sonny got a clear message from the ex-wife right after that one: "Sonny, I am filing for a divorce".

Soundtrack is also sadly lacking if you are old enough to remember the real thing.

Also no pet crockagator.

 

It amazes me how many times they film David Caruso putting on and taking off his sunglasses......proabably 10-20 times per episode!

 

That show is ghey....face it.

 

I absolutely hate that show with a passion...

and watch it six times a week...

'cause the wifey watches it...

and I make fun of every character, every scene.

 

Only good thing about the show is the women.

 

I dont think so, it seems a lot of it is shot in LA

Also in Miami exotics are everywhere

I remember a show w a Lambo driver & they dressed him up like a clown & made him appear like an obnoxious idiot

I really dont like shows that show exotic owners like that

 

Which one? *snicker*

Do you mean the badly dressed, and apparently colorblind stringbean guy with a bad haircut who was claiming diplomatic immunity, then it turned out - wait - I'll spoil the lack of suspense...

Favorite scene in that episode: The Savior, Caruso - cupped his ear toward the guy, like - "you got sumpin' to say to me? I can't heeeear you."

Since we saw that - it's become yet another nonverbal catchphrase at work and at play.

 

It's shot in Long Beach. One time I was walking to get coffee and the street was closed off with cop cars everywhere and what looked like bodies in the street. I thought Damn, a murder right by my house. But I asked the cop and it was a taping of Miami Vice. Now everytime I watch it with my girlfriend, I tell her what we are really looking at. The aquarium, Belmont Shores, Naples, etc...

 

They shoot down here every once in a while to get the needed obvious Miami shots. And yes, exotics are EVERYWHERE down here.

Probably because that's the extent of his acting ability.

 

I think the show is kind of funny. The acting is 2nd rate and it seems that all D. Carsuo does is pose for pictures. And the blond bimbo's gun is to big for her. She walks like she is a model and talk funny. But the cars and boats and colors are great. It must be a cult type of show. The chunky cop is funny too.

 

If any show today is the "new Miami Vice", then it's Burn Notice. B)

 

David Caruso has had a long and illustrious law enforcement career, as anyone who's watched him play a podunk deputy in the original Rambo flick from the early 1980s can attest

Throw in a stint in NYC 'blue', and he's covered 3 of the 4 corners of the continental U.S.

Maybe he could make the 4th corner, in an episode where Eva LaRue goes to L.A. and he follows her.
Then we could see how he looks on the west coast beach and how Eva's 'endless cleavage' compares out west
