CSI Ted Danson’s arrival gives CSI an immediate, much-needed energy boost. He’s D.B. Russell, the crew’s new, and new-to-Vegas, boss; D.B. is as exuberant (and mysterious) as Laurence Fishburne’s Ray was phlegmatic (and obvious). Danson’s first episode sets up excellent tension with Catherine, ramping up for, alas, Marg Helgenberger’s departure later in the season. (Marg, don’t you wanna stick around now that Danson is providing so much fun?) As for tonight’s case, it includes a cameo by Carrot Top and human/octopus sex. Someone at CBS needs to send Rick Santorum a copy to drum up some controversy! B+ —Ken TuckerHelgenberger’s exit begins- to be replaced by Elisabeth Shue CSI: Shue debut 2-15-12

CBS’ new crime drama “Unforgettable” premieres tonight:
EPISODE 1×01 – PILOT
Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery), a former detective with a flawless memory, works homicides. In the opener, Carrie helps New York police investigate her neighbor’s murder. The lead detective on the case is Carrie’s ex-boyfriend and former partner.
Discuss.
ReplyCopy URLThe “Unforgettable” pilot had its moments but I wasnt that impressed. It was barely above average due to Montgomery’s acting…if the show improved and they gave her a really gut wrenching episode about her sister’s murder I could see her getting an Emmy nomination.
HOWEVER, the show has a long way to go before that. I wanted to like it, I REALLY did, but the case this week was as generic as they come.
ReplyCopy URLUnforgettable was best for Montgomery. When she discovers who that man was where you couldn’t see his face – That could be what would make an Emmy submission. It’s probably going to happen this season. Or it should.
Criminal Minds- Prentiss returns!
CSI- The Langston reign of terror is over! Time for Ted Danson as DB.
ReplyCopy URLThe second episode was a big improvement over the first in all aspects, especially the production values. I don’t know what was going on in the pilot but there were some weird editing decisions.
Overall, the case this week incorporated all of the characters better and the writing was less forced. Again, Montgomery is putting everything she has into this role, hopefully the show will go places outside of the standard procedural that put her acting chops to better use.
ReplyCopy URLI thought Montgomery’s scene with the kid were better than her ones with the Alzheimers mother. If you are looking for actor emmy bait alzheimers mother -like the alzheimers father for JAck on without a trace – can lead to over the top horrible acting from all all involved. So I just hope they keep it all restrained and subtle if they are looking for real emmy bait.
CSI was very good. All the people confessing was well done.

On the subject of CBS shows, I’ve noticed that Hawaii Five-O has improved markedly this year. I credit Terry O’Quinn, who has finally brought out some life in Alex O’Loughlin in their scenes together.
ReplyCopy URLTerry O’Quinn has fit the show and his character very well but it has meant less Caan.
Unforgettable used the skills of Carrie Wells the best on last nights episode. Having her go into the apartment and have a look around and the jail scene where you saw the guy from True Blood for like two seconds and then she remembers what he was saying. It was good. The opening scene with the guy hitting on her with “i never forget a face” LOL was good and the last scene of her walking home and you’re like “she will remember this forever!” All because she really wants to be with Al.

ReplyCopy URLWas a pretty good episode of “Unforgettable” last night. I’m glad to see we’re developing the supporting characters more, just so they’re not generic detectives who do the same thing week after week. Interested in seeing where they’re going with Carrie and the A.D.A. after that awkwardly tense scene the two shared.
