'CSI' COLLARS NECKLACE BOMB
New York Post ^ | September 8, 2003

Posted on 09/08/2003 12:05:50 PM PDT by Shermy

AS fans of "CSI: Miami" know, David Caruso (news)'s character and his Miami colleagues are one up on the Erie, Pa. police department. They already solved a necklace-bomb case.

The bizarre case and the sinister device that killed a man who allegedly robbed a bank late last month was similar in concept to the CBS crime drama's subject.

The plot of "Losing Face," which was the series' second episode last fall, involved the use of a locked collar device.

"We haven't received any calls [about the Erie case] and any suggestion of a connection is quite a stretch," Chris Ender, CBS' senior vice president for communications, told a reporter.

Aw, jeez, not this crap again!

Blaming TV/movies and/or gangster rap for crime is just like blaming guns for crime: Stupidity either way.

Never seen it, but it is the people on the Vegas version which make it enjoyable.

Attitudes of the actors are more contrived, more arrogant.

Agreed. The only version they could do that would be worse would be, 'CSI-Peoria'.

You can't deny that a fair number of people imitate what they see on TV even if it defies common sense.

Life imitating art if CSI can be called art?

Don't forget Wedlock with Rutger Hauer and Mimi Rogers. Prisoners wearing explosive collars.
