Improbably, (and Heather will probably grin at this) I've gotten sort-of hooked on CSI: Vegas Fantasy Fashion Forensics. The show itself is as campy as a National Forest; and the leaping to conclusions could carry them across the Brooklyn Bridge in a single bound. (and where in HELL does any forensics city/state unit afford such fast computers and jazzy flatscreen monitors in the offices?).
I've been watching it for the cardboard characters. It's amazing though: the cardboard isn't nearly as stiff as ones in Stargate at this point. I mean, I've noticed that Nick, who was buried alive, has reactions to insects and being in enclosed spaces. Sarah isn't nearly as annoying as I thought she was. Grissom is still Mr-Stick-Up-My-Ass. Guess the actor just doesn't appeal to me. And I do enjoy the older detective guy. The blond woman? Not so much. What's the purpose of having actual detectives on this show if the forensics people are forever interviewing the perps? That's nonsense, frankly. They'd be in their labs while the actual cops were doing the interviewing.
And there are so many plot holes, buttressed up by bad dialogue. And the women, like in another show I know, are written atrociously.
My favorite character right now is the nerdy-but-marginally-good-looking lab guy. He's the ONLY one who comes across as someone who'd actually be working in a forensics unit. And he's caustic. I like caustic. He'll bring up idiotic plot points and behaviors of the other characters and earn a cheer from me, in just about every show. Huh. Okay. I'd say I'm pretty much watching for this actor/character, and the absurd stories, so that I can poke holes in them.
