Blog: CSI

I haven't been too pleased with some of the New York TV shows in this past week.

First, on The Apprentice, Donald Trump showed what he really values by firing the guy who tried to nobly put himself on the line for his team and earn their respect, but instead got criticized for being stupid. This move was only stupid because Trump said it was. Trump wants everyone to do anything to win, take any advantage, stoop to any level, because that's how he is. But in most parts of the real world to be successful you also have to build relationships and trust. Trump sees that as weakness. Either that, or he's just doing whatever will get the highest ratings. Either way, not cool.

And then there was the CSI: New York premiere. CSI: Miami is brightly lit with intense colors, but CSI: New York is deliberately desaturated so that the city looks dull and gray. IT'S NOT A GRAY CITY! Right now, in the real New York, the sun is shining and the landscape is bright and beautiful. The distortion on the show is so pronounced that I can't help but keep noticing it in scene after scene. I may not even be able to watch this show.
