Trivia:

During the opening credits, the actors' names morph out of equations: - 4y - 1 = 3b(Nh) becomes David Caruso - 3a1 - X = (A9Xy) becomes Emily Procter - 3b + N = 7bn1(6A) becomes Adam Rodriguez - 2b + 4a = (7h)3XyNh becomes Khandi Alexander - A1b + B2c = R4 becomes 'Kim Delaney'

• (7b) = 6m + (3h) becomes Jonathan Togo - (3h) + (7b) = 6 becomes Rory Cochrane.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: In many exterior scenes, California hills are visible in the background. South Florida is mostly flat.

Quotes:

[about a doctor's ugly Persian rug]
Tim Speedle: Just because you have a medical degree doesn't mean you have taste.

Won't Get Fooled Again

Baywatch meets CSI

I was a big fan of the original series (Las Vegas). Sadly this show seems to be nothing more than beautiful actors and cinematography. I won't lie to you, the actors are hot, and the scenery is awesome. Thats why i gave it a whopping 2/10. Nothing else grabbed me though.

Weak plot lines and character interactions. This show takes a bold leap from reality. Characters are strutting around the art-deco police station in their designer cloths. The capers they solve have HUGE plot holes and are very formulaic. There's always a quick fix at the end of the show to wrap things up.

Mostly I was disappointed by the content (lack thereof).

It's eye candy.....nothing more.
