The Second, Second Best Blog

And the City of Angels never looked so good.

I watch all the CSI shows, have since the beginning of each of them. I still like the original best but they each have their own slant and strong points. My most excellent spouse, Patricia, only grudgingly tolerates CSI: Miami. She can only take so much of David Caruso. But we are both always impressed with the gorgeous Miami scenery which, I can now say is almost stunning on our 52″ Sony Bravia HDTV.

Last Monday’s episode, “LA,” featured a visit to Los Angeles and guess what? I have never seen such beautiful, colorful, shots of the L.A. basin. Griffith Observatory, the Coliseum, City Hall, the Disney Concert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, all rendered in rich, saturated color, so unlike it’s usually drab greys and browns. If you missed it, it is worth watching just for that, even in standard definition TV.
