The numerous shots of him gazing off into the distance (assuming he is pondering some deep mystery of life) while either putting on or removing his sunglasses. Too cheesy for me. <BR/><BR/>I think shows like this are part of the trouble with the violence in North America. The way cops are portrayed on TV is either as a gun-toting maniac or a dumbass who doesn't have a clue about anything. (Not that I am biased or anything) For the record, John has drawn his gun on the job a total of once so far. He never fired.Thinking About Compassionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165197776757323937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28898471.post-16492897743767835922009-01-19T10:49:00.000-08:002009-01-19T10:49:00.000-08:00i fear for a world where csi miami can exist, let ...i fear for a world where csi miami can exist, let alone be #1.<BR/><BR/>i am watching nypd blue season #1 right now, and caruso is awesome, as is the show.<BR/><BR/>maybe it went to his headJon Couttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728055140831842717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28898471.post-19894292894760887552009-01-19T06:32:00.000-08:002009-01-19T06:32:00.000-08:00CSI Miami is a horrid show.

I tend to think that on NYPD Blue Caruso was being elevated by good writing, but I don't actually remember his performances well enough to say much about it. NYPD Blue exists in my mind as a Jimmy Smits and especially Dennis Franz show.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, there are lots and lots of shows with awful writing, but even in the realm of overblown nonsense US Cop shows, CSI:Miami is ridiculous in its use of violence as a solution to social ills. Hell, I'm not sure Jack Bauer has shot as many people as Horatio Caine, and me and my family take bets on the number of ppl Bauer will kill in the season openers of 24 (the over/under is never less than 10).Colin Toffelmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857934895856384717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28898471.post-41843254320929716882009-01-18T15:38:00.000-08:002009-01-18T15:38:00.000-08:00It was always more the dialogue and Caruso's deliv...It was always more the dialogue and Caruso's delivery that bugged me, causing me to shudder and change the channel, which has helped me avoid watching long enough to see guns being drawn...maybe we could get a hold of Ryan Frailing and see if he draws his gun that often.

However, since they say that HoCaine is solely Caruso's "artwork" it is a safe thing to assume that non-actor Caruso is responsible for HoCaine being what he is: a pompous smartass (exuse my French)Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216631842227909597noreply@blogger.com
