A Monday Morning Chuckle - (Vanity)
Cable TV ^ | 10/30/06 | Baynative

Posted on 10/30/2006 8:06:56 AM PST by Baynative

I was Watching CSI-Las Vegas on the weekend. As the crime scene investigators were detailing a murder scene the evidence found didn't add up leading the character, Gus Grissom to remark:


TOPICS: Humor; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: chappaquiddick; csi; kennedy

"This is as phony as a Chappaquiddick neck brace!"

Still grinning on Sunday morning, I went to the CSI website and learned that actor William Peterson has among his credits, "The Kennedeys of Massachusettes". - Interesting; I wonder if his line in the show was ad-libbed.

He'd have to fire himself since he's one of the executive producers. I like CSI and NCIS because they're shows that usually aren't heavy handed with left wing politics. Once in a while they veer to the left. But usually they're trying to entertain not preach.

WP character gave a great speach at the end of the "Fannysmacking" ep....

About parents not teaching their children right from wrong, abdicating their responsibilities and in doing so, not teaching their children about personal responsibility.

I guess when you've got a top 5 show, with a hard core audience, the truth can be told.

Peterson does ad lib some of his lines.

That said - this episode is about 3 years old...and it's still one of my favorite lines from it.

btw - it's executive producer is Jerry Bruckheimer, who tends to be a little conservative ("Black Hawk Down" was one of his as well).

Oh oh....in an upcoming episode Grissom mysteriously dies in a car crash as he plunges over a bridge.

What have I missed lately, Bay? My PC has been down for a long while.

I like CSI because of the characterizations so aptly filled by the Likes of Marg Helgenberger. He site cannot be linked to since it is "changed" from .net to .com. When you go there it is "bannered" as being "For Sale!"

Other than me naming the character GUS Grissom instead of Gil, not much.

Things are going to be interesting in the election at home next week, eh?- democrat lies are becoming to much to believe. It's amazing that the media is either that dumb, that complicent - or both.

The Unit is pretty much meat and potatoes, straight forward. And of course there's 24. I hope this year we see Jack Bauer return to his roots and start cleaning house.

From the 24 preview for this season, it looks really meaty and full on Jack Bauer style. I can't wait.

I still can't believe 24 won all those emmy's. I feel a little dirty knowing that the hollywood elites are watching what I'm watching.

Per the NY Post 10/26

LIEV IS FALLING INTO ROLE ON 'CSI' Post staff writer October 26, 2006 -- TONY Award winner Liev Schreiber is joining the cast of "CSI" as a regular character, according to reports. The actor will fill in for 'CSI" star William Peterson, who is taking time off in mid-season to appear in a play. Schreiber will play a seasoned crime scene investigator with a checkered reputation who has worked in a number of police departments across the country before joining the Las Vegas Crime Lab. He will appear sometime in January 2007, the reports said. Sources say he won't start shooting scenes for new job until next month. "After meeting the people who run 'CSI,' it immediately becomes apparent why it has consistently been one of the top shows on television. I am a fan, how could I say no?" says Schreiber. Schreiber won a Tony last year for his role in the revival of the Broadway drama "Glengarry Glen Ross."

LOL...most likely you went with Gus Grissom because you got the "Right" Stuff.

One thing I've found interesting with all the talk of the local Rats thinking this election is in the bag is the beau coup number of phone calls from them (yes I get them alot lately) and the far from less than accurate info they've been spouting about the opposition. Something has them concerned

Watching "The Day the Earth Stood Still" on TCM Saturday, the weekend host Ben Manciewicz was describing how a Flying Saucer lands in Washington D.C. He then added, "Ann Coulter immediately blamed Bill Clinton".

I would've said "Michael Moore immediately blamed Geo. Bush". Guess I know his politics.
