So yesterday, whilst everlastingwhy was visiting with her family, I plopped down on the couch and finally started making inroads on the season 1 CSI:Miami tapes carolinecrane sent me way back when. I watched up through episode 8 and, boy, is it obvious how much Kim Delany hated El Caruso. I mean, she basically stopped appearing in scenes with him. And El Caruso wasn't even as insufferable as he is now. Perhaps her leaving was a ginormous boost to his ego.

The episode where the dad guns down his whole family? Ugh, disturbing.
