RTL 25th Anniversary: Niche channel focuses on U.S. series, originals -- RTL's Cologne-based Vox service has come a long way since its rocky start in the early 1990s. After RTL Television bought it from News Corp. in late 1999, Vox has developed into Germany's most successful second-wave channel and a market-dominating outlet for popular Hollywood series, such as "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "Gilmore Girls" while making "CSI" and "CSI: NY" cornerstones of its lineup.

Is Supernatural Jumping the Shark?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:18:46 +0000

Last night's episode of Supernatural ended with prophet and Supernatural book series author Chuck telling his fans "It's not Jumping the Shark if you never come back down." At first I really wanted to think this was a joke, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it's not. Supernatural really is Jumping the Shark. For weeks I've been trying to defend and rationalize Supernatural's recent increase in comedy. Cas visited a whorehouse. Future Cas smoked pot. Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Paris Hilton, the Tooth Fairy and the Incredible Hulk have all turned up. Supernatural parodied CSI and Grey's Anatomy . And finally, Sam and Dean attended a Supernatural fan convention. A while ago I wrote an article defending the show's use of comedy . I would now like to retract that statement.

'CSI: Trilogy' Review, Part 3: A Missed Opportunity?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:45:00 +0000

The CSI crossover episodes wrapped up last night, with Langston returning to Las Vegas to solve one case with implications to the bigger case he's been following: the disappearance of Madeline Briggs, who apparently was caught in the middle of a trucking ring that dealt with prostitution and illegal organ harvesting. By now the ground rules have been more than set: each of the episodes this week are stand-alone ones, with a common thread, and Langston, linking across the three. By the time we got to Thursday night, I honestly didn't have any expectations, because Langston is back in his home turf. Therefore, it felt like watching any other CSI episode. It's a little weirder than watching CSI: NY two nights ago: even if it felt like nothing much has changed, the present of a central figure in a sister show changes the mood a bit. Last night just wrapped everything up: the Langston we saw was the Langston that was established the past week--dedicated and passionate to a ...

'CSI: Trilogy' Review, Part 2: Just Like Any Other, Only A Bit More Personal

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:45:00 +0000

The CSI crossover going on this week may involve one story split across three shows, but in reality it's really three different crimes with one common thread. I thought it was the former after watching CSI: Miami Monday night, with the cliffhanger of sorts about a woman leaving a written plea for help inside a truck stop's restroom. I tune in to CSI: NY last night and realize that we won't see much of a connection between what we saw before and what we're seeing now. Sure, there's Madeline Briggs. Pegged in part one of the crossover as a suspect in the murder of a model wannabe, she has become the victim--the person Mac and the team must save as quickly as possible, before she dies of the grim circumstances she got herself in: possibly prostitution, possibly organ farm. Maybe it's just me and my expectations of the crossover, but there was a bit of disappointment when the NYPD finally got in touch with Langston (who's still billeted in Miami) and suddenly all these ...

'CSI: Trilogy' Review, Part 1: A Riveting (Slight) Mismatch

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:30:00 +0000

Last night was the beginning of what is arguably the biggest thing that could happen to the CSI franchise: one storyline, across three shows, all in one week. Now, why did this take so long to happen? Surely there are a lot more crimes that are connected to other occurrences in other cities, right? Well, we've had a few crossovers within the franchise before, and only because it's what the case calls for, and for that I'm willing to let go of that little complaint of mine. Besides, this is looking pretty good already. As we've all known for the past few months, Laurence Fishburne will make an appearance on all three shows, as Langston goes cross-country solving a crime that is more complicated and widespread than it looks. The opening salvo was on last night's CSI: Miami , when the MDPD crime lab's investigation into the murder of a missing girl uncovers something bigger than they thought. Just proves how small the world can be, since limbs from two different people were dumped in the same ...

ET Has a Sneak Peek at 'CSI''s Three-Part Story on Human Trafficking

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 08:03:00 +0000

Horatio Caine ( David Caruso ) requests that Las Vegas CSI Ray Langston ( Laurence Fishburne ) come to Miami when a severed leg found in the Everglades is traced back to a girl who went missing in Las Vegas a week earlier. Tonight's episode of "CSI: Miami" is the first of a three-part story that takes Langston from Miami to New York and back to Las Vegas. "[It is about] human trafficking … girls who are forced into prostitution," Fishburne tells ET. "Their organs are harvested. They have to become surrogate moms. They get transported across the country on the interstate."
