CSI is the new Baywatch

By Jon Sandys

Not in terms of the scantily-clad women running, but the slow-motion part definitely. The guiltiest variant is CSI Miami - all the CSIs make good (ahem...over...ahem) use of the montage, but CSI Miami especially - a good few minutes of each show is dedicated to covering something in slow motion or for far too long which really doesn't warrant it. Not sure whether it's writers looking to fill some time or because the audience is clamouring for more dialogue- and plot-less screen time, but either way it's irritating.

However, Horatio sticking his sunglasses on while delivering a fairly cheesy pun is a hallmark of the series and should be left intact.
