David Caruso - Keystone Kops

Icon of Idiocy David Caruso's/CSI Miami's continuous steep decline into unwatchable comedy territory is best described in the follwing most memorable comment:

.....But when you're talking about something like "CSI: Miami," craft advancement obviously isn't the point, getting paid is.
"CSI: Miami" is one of the forensics trilogies, surely the prettiest, with South Beach in hot pinks and bright greens and Disney-colored water, and female forensics employees in brief skirts and breezy tops appearing to have just come out of a cake at a coach's convention, not the morgue.
"CSI: Miami" is surely the goofiest of not only the crime scene contingent, but of all forensics shows ever made, or ever rejected, and one of the nuttiest cop-type shows of all-time history.
It's the Keystone Kops without bumping into lamp posts, without the pratfalls, but w with the funny logic.
The
star of "CSI: Miami" is the gutsy David Caruso, who drives a Hummer to the mass murders and the horse race fixes; never can tell when the meat-wagon van will be full and you might have to toss a few corpses onto the leather seats. He's gutsy because surely he hears things about this show.
Didn't this Caruso guy used to be, well, if not good, better?
Here, he is in charge of solving the unsolvable as he tries without success to establish his sunglasses as a dramatic prop similar to the great Rod Steiger's gum in "In the Heat of the Night."....
