Do These People Make You Sleepy?

Are you drowsy? A little tired? Maybe just exhausted after a long day?

For Hubby these people are like Ambien. A few weeks ago we discovered CSI Miami reruns on A&E while desperately looking for something warm to look at on TV. After a long, dreary, snowy winter we will take our sun where ever we can find it. Even TV reruns.

Now here's the thing. In the first five minutes the mystery is set up. Someone dies. Someone looks guilty. The CSI Miami team arrives on the scene. Cue cool intro with The Who music. Cut to commercial.

Next to me is Hubby who has already dozed off. Mouth agape; hot chocolate recently quaffed; remote still in hand. Apparently he saw all the warmth he needed. However I am hooked and will need to spend the next 55 minutes with Team CSI Miami to see how it all evolves.

Night after night the same gig plays out. We tune in CSI Miami. He slips into unconsciousness.

Since one of us is actually watching the show I have some observations:

• See David Caruso in the pic above? That's the only time I've ever seen him smile. Plus, what is a pasty white guy like that doing in Miami? That being said, I love his character, Horatio Crane, and his one emotion.
• The science stuff is cool but a bit far fetched. I took enough chemistry to know that some of those things can't be done that quickly. But, strangely, I don't care. If I had a lab that cool I would have stayed in science.
• The stories get all twisty. You think you know who is guilty and then new evidence shows it might be someone else.
• It's not too touchy, feely. If I want warm and fuzzy I'll watch Grey's Anatomy.

Don't tell Hubby what CSI Miami is about. At this point he thinks it's a travelogue about South Florida.

Zzzzzzzzzz.......
