A jump up this week..

..with no NFL contests to compete with, CSI jumped up a spot to No. 3 thi sweek in the weekly broadcast television ratings. As was the case last week, CSI helped CBS have control of the broadcast television market with the network taking 6 of the top 10 in this weeks ratings. New to the list this week is CSI: Miami, the highly popular second coming of the CSI series. It made it in at the No.6 spot.

In my last blog I didn't get to talk much about the other CSI shows: CSI:Miami and CSI:NY. The gist is the same as the orginal but it gives a different flavor consumed by these unique and cultured locales. Miami has seen great reviews and at times has been a heavy match for the original, CSI. New York has been the center of criticism. While it is another quality product, it never seemed to have lifted itself to the status of the other two. It has been criticized with overused show concepts and plots an dhas been hevaily scrutinizd for lack-luster casting.
