So Diddy will guest star on CSI: Miami as a prosecutor who "does not get along" with David Caruso’s Horatio Caine. The two-episode arc will air later this winter, according to AP. Love it. Maybe enough to finally watch a full episode of CSI: Miami, which just celebrated its 150th episode earlier this week.* Definitely enough to embed one of my favorite South Park clips ("Ike, do your impersonation of David Caruso’s career!") after the jump.
I know that CSI: Miami and CSI: NY kill in the ratings and regularly win their time slots, but I don’t know anyone outside my office who watches. Do you watch? Answer in the poll below.
* I only know that — and that costar Adam Rodriguez cleaned toilets at NYC’s Penn Station (for a day) — because I caught Rodriguez on The Bonnie Hunt Show Monday.

Diddy and Horatio Caine? There’s not a television in the world that can contain that much ego in one place.
I think P. Diddy will upstage Caruso. Hell, even an ape could upstage Caruso.
My answer is CSI: regular & CSI: NY–not a choice.
I watch CSI original and CSI NY. I cannot stand David Caruso so I don’t watch CSI Miami.
I watch Grey’s Anatomy and dvr CSI and/or sometimes dvr Criminal Minds. Watching people being tortured and/or killed more than once a week is too morbid for me. Still, I would like to see how Diddy handles his role on CSI Miami. He was great in A Raisin In The Sun.
What I don’t get is how CSI Miami beats CSI NY in the ratings.
i don’t watch any CSI’s. I used to watch Miami, but it got too ridiculous after Marisol died. Damn Caruso! I haven’t watched the original CSI for awhile, but they lost me for sure after they killed Warrick (plus it’s on at the same time as Supernatural-and I do NOT miss supernatural) And I have never watched New York. I don’t like the way everything looks so dingy and dark.
Where is the South Park clip??
I watch all three and enjoy CSI Miami not for Caurso but the rest of the great cast who do good work. I know it’s goofy but I can’t help but be sucked into the setting, the wild crimes and the slick sets. I like the other two CSIs as well but Miami has its own special flavor.
I’m just looking forward to the clip on The Soup…
“Diddy, Diddy, Diddy, Can’t You See… Seriously, can you, these sunglasses are ridiculous.”
“YEOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”
My guess to the cause of lower ratings for CSI New York as compared to Miami would be the fact that CSI New York is competing against Law & Order in its time slot. I would imagine they attract the same demographic.
I agree, CSI NY is amazing and Miami is just irritating. Maybe I’m biased because I live in New York, but CSI: NY is slick, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the cast, more so than any of the other shows.
Caruso rules.
I only watch CSI:NY, to me the best out of the three.
Caruso is simply awful
David Caruso is an icon. The Germans love him and compare him with James Bond. He’s the long-suffering hero who is at odds with his boss but saves the world one bad guy at a time. He’s a larger-than-life figure who refuses to compromise. How else can you explain the black suits, and often black shirts too, in Miami in the summer? Don’t you guys get it?
South Park? What about Weebl and Bob’s brilliant take-off on CSI:Miami?

Caruso needs to get off the TV screen – STAT. He is absolutely the worst TV has to offer.
I started watching Miami because of Rory Cochran. Now I just watch it because it’s hilarious. And I get really mad if I miss the beginning.
I watch all 3 CSI’s. I do love me some Horatio…still pissed off they killed Marisol. Gary Sinese is cool and a wonderful actor. But the real reason I watch? Ryan, Greg and Sheldon! I go for the slightly nerdy, genius, under-wraps hunk type every time.
Dang…started thinking about my boys….(Ryan, Greg and Sheldon) and forgot what I wanted to say.
I can’t stand Diddy. In fact…I dislike him so much that I refuse to watch any show he is on. My name for Diddy is Poop Doddy. He is so full of it!
I don’t watch CSI….but about Diddy and his so-called acting career…I hate Sean Diddy Combs. Arrogance personified.
Caruso reminds me of something a friend said about entertainers: to make it in the entertainment biz you have to be bisexual. Do you think?
First I stopped watching Miami when it became “All-Horatio, all the time” (not too long after the introduction of Ryan). I stopped watching the original toward the end of the sixth season when it looked like Sara and Grissom were going to get together, as I couldn’t stand even the idea of them as a couple. I never officially stopped watching CSI: NY, as I still occasionally catch an episode, but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, either. There was nothing wrong with the show, but it just didn’t/doesn’t catch my attention as much as other shows did/do.
I’ve always wondered why Horatio feels the need to repeat the same line twice so often??? I don’t get it. (dramatic pause) I don’t get it.
I only watch CSI:NY. I’ve never been interested in the original, and I don’t like Horatio. I love Anna Belknap, Danny/Lindsay, and Gary Sinise, so I tune into NY.
I don’t get Miami in general. I mean the city: outside of the Cuban-expat community, I just don’t understand why it exists.
I guess EW answer is Just the original ‘CSI’ for me, thanks and it was just apprently for this season
Bias to all, Bias
Stupid Germans.
To gini. Caruso once said in aninterview: to make it in the business always make sure to have a bottle of moisturizer at hand…..whatever that means LOL
Who watches CSI Miami? Oh, about 15 million viewers per week.
