    There's no question that the new show looks different. ... That said, there is something familiar about "CSI: Miami," maybe too familiar. [30 Sep 2002]

    Something's amiss here. The new "CSI" is a little stilted, a little obvious. [23 Sep 2002]

    Caruso is stiff and grim, and the crew doesn't click with him or one another. [23 Sep 2002]

    The new show doesn't feel like a clone, but it also seems to be missing the spirit of what made the original such a success. [23 Sep 2002]
