Well this isn't CSI in the media, but it's CSI on TWoP. A slightly funny picture of Sara and Catherine is the subject of next week's Pixel Challenge. You can find it over in the Rec Room forum.

Australia's A Current Affair had a behind-the-scenes CSI special on Monday and there's a video clip to view for all of us in other parts of CSI World.

Go to http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/ and you'll find a link under "Also on ACA" (where it says Plus: Behind CSI).

I'm not completely sure if this would go in the Media or Music or Spoilers [preview for this Thursday's epi] thread but here goes...

So Method Man and Obie Trice and some others are guest'ing on CSI this Thursday. So they made a music video and spliced in some clips from the upcoming epi. Maybe I just find it hilaaaaarious to see Grissom doddling about and throwing around his eyebrow jumps with a nice gangsta beat in the background? Yes, t'is a good thing. Anyhow, here it is. Click on "Snitch" music video for "CSI" on the left side under Video.

Nothing too spoilery (if you don't read spoilers you won't really know what's going on so you won't be spoiled), just clips of them going about their CSI bizness and Nicky and Warrick looking badass tough.

That kind of music isn't my thing at all, but that video is downright awesome! And Nicky and Warrick really do look the best in it. (And I didn't even get to see the whole thing b/c my computer started screwing with it about halfway through or something.)

Whoa. Sofia looked pretty fierce in that video. I'm diggin' on the black shirt open at the collar and the sunglasses.

And why were Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler there? I wonder if they're going to play themselves in the episode.

ETA: That video minus the CSI footage was pretty...generic. It looks like something a CBS exec would make, having once heard a description of what commonly happens in rap videos but not having seen any for him- or herself. The music itself was not inspiring. Sorry, Obie Trice. You lose. I know CSI tries to grab some of that younger demographic, but at a network known for skewing towards older viewers, I guess all this rap stuff will seem authentic enough. Not that I claim to be an expert on the thug life or anything.

I think Sara's usual awkward strut really works with the music when she walks through the party with Sofia next to her and Nicky behind her. Or maybe I just love that crazy lady Sara.

BTW, thanks for that other link, Merreh. Much better quality!

You know, Sofia did look tough, and glad she pulled her hair back!

Nicky's hair is really growing on me, and Yay for badass Warrick.

Now that I've seen at least the first half of Poppin' Tags, Nicky's hair is not growing on me. Put the cap back on!

Come on over to the spoiler thread. We've been talking about the picture there.


By the way, Canada's e-talk daily visited the CSI set while Poppin' Tags was being filmed. They did a 2 minute piece last Thursday featuring all of the CSIs.
Head over to http://www.ctv.ca/entertainment
and click on the link for eTalk visits the set of CSI 2:03 .

If it's no longer there, head over to www.omaetoy.net and look under interviews.

At the very right hand bottom corner, the stool has only two legs and there is a yellow line, that could just be a mess up though.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to talk about a new commercial, but it is media.....

Has anyone seen the CSI cereal ad? It's probably only showing in Canada. It's totally goofy, and having seen it at least 3 times, I still can't remember the name of the cereal. Allegra, Allesse, something sort of musical and totally unrelated to breakfast food.

An older male in a CSI type vest slaps a mosquito on his neck as he goes over to his younger, brunette assistant who has a pink chocolate chip in a pair of tweezers. "Oh you found my tweezers" he says stupidly. Blah blah blah, the cereal has pink chips, flakes and fruit bits. "Scotty's running analysis" the serious brunette replies. A young blondish fellow wearing what looks like night vision scopes is eating the cereal. "What does it add up to?", our lead CSI asks. "Three" Scotty replies.

oy! sez I.

I've seen that one! I was like, oh Lord, that's corny.

But it wasn't half as snarky as the Canadian Movie Channel one that was running about a year ago. There's this older guy looking at a dead body saying CSI-type stuff, then another CSI comes into the picture, munching a sandwich. The older guy's like, "WTF?!!" Sandwich-Guy's all "Dude, what's the point? No one's watching this crap; they're all turned over to the Movie Channel. This is pointless BS. You're not even that good an actor!!" Whereupon the dead body looks up and chirps, "He's right, Bill."

Personally, I think the line should have been, "He's right, David." ;) But whether they were really snarking on WP or not, it was a funny commercial. I cracked up every time I saw it.

Acapella. I saw the box at the grocery store. It's so shiny!

I'm a dork-- I like the very end of that commercial when Scotty's nightvision goggles drop down over his eyes and he starts looking around in broad daylight.

Actually, I think that TMN commercial was poking fun at police/detective shows, not CSI. The guy crouching over the body was wearing some sort of suit or overcoat, and his partner said "You're not a real cop--you're not even a good actor."

I've seen that cereal commercial...kinda an eye-roller. Plus, do they know what kinds of things get picked up with tweezers on CSI? Not exactly the most appetizing form of advertisment. "WTF is THAT?" "Don't know--send it for analysis." Yum.

Apparently Jorja Fox has posed for a PETA ad for vegetarianism that can end up turning around and biting her.

At contactmusic.com do a search for CSI and the article will be the second on the list.

I can not understand how this woman can be so oblivious about her contract after having once been fired for breach of contract. Even if she did not read the contract herself, at the very least she should have checked with her agent and the show's producers to get clearance to pose in an ad that mimics the show.

She is my least favorite character but I really hope that this does not turn into another contract soap opera.

I doubt Jorja/PETA were completely unaware of any potential copyright infringement. If there were to be problems, they knew ahead of time. Jorja has never struck me as oblivious. IIRC, her firing wasn't even legitimate since she never actually breached the contract.

I hate PETA, but the ad looks pretty cool, I have to admit. Here's a link.

Oh, that's incredibly sad. I know that his father passed away not too long ago, and he lost his nephew just a few months ago. His parents were quite elderly and I'm sure his family is grateful for the blessing of having them both as long as they did, but how awful to lose so many people in such a short time span. And both parents as well, I really can't imagine. My heart goes out to his family.

Jorja is right, that ad is downright snuggly for PETA. It's practically sunshine and roses. Looks nice, my loathing of PETA notwithstanding.

George Eads has been in Australia this past week for their entertainment awards, the Logies and he's been doing some interviews.

Head over to the ninemsn Video site to see them. Note, you have to have Internet Explorer to view this site. Firefox doesn't seem to work.
If the video is not apparent when you get to the page, type either CSI or Eads in the search box.

Also, CSI has been featured on CBS' Early Show in the last few weeks. Thursday they interviewed everyone but Paul Guilfoyle and Friday, he was the interviewee. Earlier interviews from this spring can be seen at omaetoy.net.

Posted by Kristen999 at Oh No Nicky which she took from a posting at Talk.CSIfiles, George Eads did an interview for the Australian paper, The Age.

He talks about his fight for the integrity of his character and discusses a bit about the changes in his appearance this season.

TVGuide's Hotlist:

Will Brass survive after being shot last week? That's the question fans are asking entering tonight's sixth-season CSI finale, but it isn't the question they will be asking after seeing tonight's final surprising scene. To say more would spoil it, but don't tune out early. As for tonight's cases, a man's headless corpse is found on railroad tracks with a tiny 19-inch waist, and across town a man dies (or is he murdered?) during a wild night of sex, drugs and alcohol


Final scene = Grissom + Sara? It's a possibility.
