“CSI: Vegas” held so much promise. It has “Vegas” right in the title.<\/p>\n

The reality is “CSI: Vegas” didn’t have much Las Vegas at all, and even less scriptwriting. In a word, it was unwatchable.<\/p>\n

“CSI: Vegas” has been canceled, thankfully, after an excruciating three seasons. The final episode airs May 17, 2024.<\/p>\n

“CSI: Vegas” fell shy of the number of episodes needed for syndication. So, there is a god, after all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because we are a Las Vegas blog, we had to watch the first few episodes of “CSI: Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n

We would compare the experience to having our eyes pried open, like in “Clockwork Orange,” while sea urchins were pounded into them with a blacksmith’s hammer made of lemon juice.<\/p>\n

The sheer lack of Las Vegas in “CSI: Vegas” was stupefying.<\/p>\n

\"\"
It wasn’t hard to predict this show was doomed. Casinos don’t use dice with rounded corners.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The show’s dialogue was clunky, the performances were wooden and the storylines were recycled nonsense from other, better, crime series.<\/p>\n

Who are we, a Las Vegas blog, to judge a CBS TV series? How dare you. We have an extensive list of film production credits, including a couple of weeks on a feature film called “Miracle Beach.” We also had a subscription to “Entertainment Weekly” for about a decade.<\/p>\n

Look, even USA Today<\/a> thought “CSI: Vegas” projected “an overwhelming air of blandness and dullness.” And “USA Today” has never even been a production assistant on a movie featuring Pat Morita.<\/p>\n

It sounds like “CSI: Vegas” was the nail in the coffin for the “CSI” franchise that began in 2000. What a horrible way to go out.<\/p>\n

For anyone in Hollywood considering a Vegas-set production, please remember, Las Vegas is going to be the most interesting thing about your project. Las Vegas isn’t a marketing tool or backdrop. It’s the star of the show.<\/p>\n

Also, don’t forget to hire writers. They tend to be shat upon in Hollywood, but they are the wings with which successful entertainment soars. Simply put, without writers, you’re plucked.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
