Stone Cold Orange-Haired Fox
 By Colleen, Staff Writer

As 2007 comes to a close I reflect on the things that I am thankful for. One of them is David Caruso as Lieutenant Horatio Caine on CSI: Miami. He approaches the crime scene slowly in his dark suit and shades. He peers at the dead body and quips, “Justice will be served. Justice...will be served.” With that he swings his sports coat back, hooks his thumb into the top of his pants and suavely puts on his sunglasses. The scene fades out with the famous scream from The Who’s “Won’t get Fooled Again.”

According to the BBC, CSI: Miami was named the number one show in the world last year based on a study of television ratings in over 20 countries. I can’t say that I am surprised. Since the first episode I have been drawn to David Caruso’s bizarre, yet stellar performance as “H.” What is it about this orange-haired, double speaking CSI lieutenant that has the world waiting with baited breathe for his next one-liner?

It is truly a phenomenon. “H” takes his job of protecting and serving Miami seriously and each crime is a personal affront to his character. He leads his CSI’s through the weekly investigations with grace. After looking into those icy, crystal clear, blue eyes week after week I feel as if I know Horatio personally.

Most of my friends and family did not understand my devotion. They couldn’t handle Caruso’s intensity. However, one by one I’ve swayed the haters to my side. Each week my friends and I gather around the television for a CSI: Miami viewing party where we sit in silence, transfixed by Horatio’s every move. Yes, on occasion he goes too far with the one-liners. My sister and I look at each other, shake our heads and exclaim, “Ohhhh “H.” However, we are the only ones allowed to critique our man. When an outsider has a snide comment to make about our orange-haired hero we jump to his defense.

I can’t seem to put my finger on exactly what it is that has viewers around the world loving Horatio Caine. Is it his charisma, intensity, one-liners, double speak, cool blue eyes? Or perhaps it’s a combination of all of these attributes. Regardless, if I was ever kidnapped in Miami I would hope that Horatio Caine was on the case.

^^^Dusts for fingerprints on stolen hubcaps.
Whaaa?
Horatio Caine has to be the most poorly executed, over- AND under-acted character on television...ever. But I still watch CSI Miami almost religiously.

it seems like for every person that loves H, two hate him with a passion. the biggest arguments i've heard is that he is too cheesy, or that he is a bad actor. Personally i really love the show and i think what draws people to his character is his moral compass and the way he handles situations to the best of his ability.
Alicia
also on that note, people who don't like H won't like the rest of the show. there are too many quirks in the earlier seasons... for example Khandi Alexander talking to the dead people she autopsies. lol. i loved her though, she was sweet.
