David Caruso’s star vehicle / steady paycheck “CSI: Miami” was finally and quietly put out of its misery over the weekend after CBS brass decided to put the kibosh on the long-running (and much derided) detective drama.
It was, over the years, a true love-letter to the 2000s George Bush era: everything was dumbed down, everything exploded, the good guys always won, and there were a lot of bad jokes. Needless to say it shall be missed not just by those who appreciated it genuinely but also by, say, bloggers like me who loved it for being such incredibly awful (yet fascinatingly watchable in a train-wreck sort of way) television.
Here’s a full 7 minutes of awful one-liners from David Caruso. We’re sure going to miss you, David. We look forward to when you next inevitably grace our screens sometime in the future.

Hope to God the network told Caruso that he couldn't keep the shades… no talent hack.

Anyone who thinks this was an awful show needs to rethink the situation. What is going to replace CSI Miami another stupid reality show. Just what we need!

Here's hoping the stupid reality shows like Big Brother and Glass House will be gone- but they are cheaper to produce. I don't watch them- I'd rather have suspense and adventure purely fictional!

What escapes me is how people can never keep their politics out of their journalism…Isn't this supposed to be about entertainment? I agree with all those who think that this will probably be replaced with one of the more "intelligent" reality shows that we have all been forced to accept as entertaining. By the way, is there something wrong with the good guys winning…just sayin…

Sorry but vegas is no good, For me the show was ruined when Grissom (William Peterson) and Warrack (Gary Dourdan) left. Now Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) is gone and only a few original characters remain. Cbs has struggled to find a leading man for Csi LV, First Lawrence Fishbourne (who did ok in the leading role), and now there's this new guy Ted Danson, who looks like a total nut-job. I definitely do not think that the new guy is the man for the job. Horatio's shades and endless list of one-liners may have been corny, but Csi Miami in my oppinion was the best and most intense Csi. Csi NY had way lower ratings last year why not take that away from audiences. Csi NY was okay at first , but when Melina Kanakarades left that ruined the show for me. I have thought the show has been horrible ever since her departure. I respect Cbs' decision eventhough it is not a good one. I hope we can see David Caruso step into another signature role somewhere down the road. Long live Lt. Horatio Caine and Csi Miami.
I think Horatio should get a job with Hawaii Five-o.

I will not miss Horation Caine and his ubiquitous sun glasses! I will miss Callie and Natalia. At least they made watching the show more bearable with their beauty!
