CSI Miami Still Pulling Viewers from Studio 60
CSI Miami Still Pulling Viewers from Studio 60 by Roxanne McDonald

TMZ Studio 60 lovers are quite dismayed by CSI:Miami’s higher viewer ratings. |
In a plea for viewers for the new Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, TMZ staffers run a cheeky but impassioned plea to their readers to watch the show that is written by the same guy who did West Wing and boasts the great Matthew Perry, still funny as Matt Albie.
TMZ humorously laments how “a world where CSI: Miami does double the viewership than Studio 60 is not a world worth living in.” But despite the overkill of re-runs showing CSI on A & E, risking the redundancy even watch-to-the- death fans like myself get a little tired of,
CSI:Miami still has the elements of a more than mildly interesting TV show.
CSI: Miami travels the edges of the lines between run-of-the-mill but addictive crime TV and stunning, compelling filmic art: It has the lighting, the shadowing, the special effects. It has the drama and dialogue that work together to deliver more than, say, a merely plot-driven, fairly unidimensional show like Columbo or The Mod Squad. And it features actors who somehow transcend their roles as typical cops and lawyers and bad guys. There’s some thinking involved. There are tough but tender moments in every episode.
The only thing missing (not that the producers/writers didn’t intend to leave it out anyway) is the humor. We leave that to Boston Legal. Oops. Sorry, TMZ. We leave that to Matthew Perry and Studio 60. If the viewer numbers are still low, either people have not found enough redeemable elements, haven’t caught on as you all have,…or they haven’t yet figured out how to work their TiVos.
