Interesting that you mentioned Kim Delaney as she was fired from CSI Miami after only 10 episodes because of 'a lack of chemistry' with David Caruso.

Did David Caruso...takes off glasses...ever have chemistry with anybody on that show?

Caruso was really good on NYPD Blue but was gone after the first season because he demanded more money. He left, the show was a massive success for a long time and his career was non-existent until he got CSI Miami. Few people get a second chance like that.

That's so funny. Nobody on that show has any chemistry with anyone else. Everyone is their own different flavour of slightly unhinged, acting past each other as they deliver their lines, epitomised by Caruso as lead. It's borderline avant garde.

Hmm... I've always liked CSI Miami, but I can't really say you're wrong about this. None of the characters ever really seemed to be anything more than acquaintances to each other, even the ones who worked closely. It's a fortunate thing that the show somehow has enough appeal from other aspects to sort of make up for it.

It's crazy that she actually played on a cop show with Caruso after she played Jimmy Smit's cop wife on NYPD Blue and Smits was Caruso's replacement when he left the series.
