Last month Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me, Star Trek TNG) guest starred in a CSI (Las Vegas) episode. I had never before seen an episode, but being a fan of Mr. Wheaton I tuned in to check it out. He had less than 5 minutes of screen time, but his character was cool and so was the episode. I didn’t think much more about CSI.

The week after that I’m flipping around the channels, bored, nothing to do, and I see that Spike TV has two hours of CSI each weeknight from 7pm to 9pm. I watch them both. Hey, this CSI show is pretty good.

Monday Wednesday and Friday my buddy Dave comes over, around 3pm, and plays WoW on my computer until 10pm or so, and then he drives home. I used to watch him play and give him pointers, but he’s now to the point where he can play on his own without help. So I drink beer and watch TV, he plays WoW and drinks beer, and we bullshit ’til he goes home.

I started watching CSI every night Dave was here. Then I started watching CSI every time it came on. Now I’m downloading every episode of CSI, all five seasons, from BitTorrents and USENET.

I’m hopelessly addicted to CSI. I even started watching CSI Miami and CSI New York. Somewhere I read there is a CSI Academy now, and if I find it I’ll watch that too.

Anyone else like CSI? Or am I the only one?
