Jerry Bruckheimer created CSI--therefore I will never watch it. He's one of the things entirely wrong with Hollywood today. I cite examples such as: the maiming of Pearl Harbor, Coyote Ugly, Kangaroo Jack, and the latest installment of King Arthur (none of which I've seen due to my boycott of this man). They're all bad.
I'm sure CSI is every bit as bad as BN27 says it is, though. I've never liked a cop drama series in my life, I know I will not like this one. Sure, people like it, but McDonalds is one of the most popular places in America to eat, and I still see people driving Honda Elements and Pontiac Azteks... so I give most Americans 0 credit in the taste department.
