On the Box

09:20am 14 Feb 2012 I have a crazy theory that the entire history of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation can be split into different eras - and which of those eras is your favourite will ultimately determine whether you like the fact that Ted Danson has replaced William Petersen and Laurence Fishburne as the male lead on the show.

From cheesy sitcoms and mystery shows to current affairs and reality TV, and everything in between – if it’s on the box, Chris Philpott has probably seen it and has an opinion about it. Make sure you tune in for his unique take on everything television.

This Is Not a Love Song (list) Comments 4 comments

10:17am 14 Feb 2012  This week the topics have all been pre-selected. I asked for your suggestions last week. Today's topic comes from Jordan, who wrote asking for a blog about the best 'anti-love' songs ever written for us singletons who will not be celebrating Valentine's this year (sniff) . Well, as was the case last year when I wrote about the best breakup songs I can't really speak from experience. I'm happily married. Though I don't really support the cause of Valentine's Day with any great gusto, I recommend having a child: it gets you off the hook. Katy told me specifically not to buy her anything as we are broke. I bought a rose off the counter of the dairy (for $2). We don't live that far from the dairy and the single rose had wilted by the end of the walk home.

Currently up to Episode 11 of this show. Stick with it! The show is progessing with some interesting events and the characters have a lot more depth to them than the first episode displayed.

The CGI on this show is absolutely appalling. It's as if they've hired a bunch of high school kids to do their special effects!

Graig - your not going to develop your tastes by listening to commercial radio - radioNZ is an underrated kiwi treasure that has awesome music shows, plenty of other great stations round the country as well, problem with interweb is your are always going to find folks to agree with you you.....spinning your self into ever decreasing philosophical circles.

I thought Ted Danson's character was a lot like Grissom's - maybe too much. But it could be interesting to see how he develops (especially if those 'shrooms aren't entirely medicinal!).

And I prefer the focus on the quirky case at hand, rather than team-focussed stories. There's room for some of that, but the whole point of the show is Crime Scene Investigation, right? :)
