Don't know much about her. Does this complete the retooling?

I may have missed it. Isn't Dennis Farina leaving and who's he been replaced with?

This thread is useless without pictures.

Can't remember her name. Had it on another thread ... I think she was in the show Conviction.

On the SVU right now on USA, Ice-T just put on a yamaka before going into temple. Outstanding.

Farina's being replaced by Milena Govich, who was on Conviction and Rescue Me and who is a dark-haired hottie much like this other new woman, De la Garza.

De la Garza was Marisol on CSI Miami, where it appeared that she could not act her way out of a paper bag. We shall see.

Her level of talent made her a perfect fit on that show, given that David Caruso is less than worthless.

Caruso is the single worst "actor" on TV. Man alive. I've seen 38 seconds of CSI Miami. It's the last 38 seconds I'll ever watch.

I don't disagree, but Caruso's first season on NYPD Blue may have been the best single season of a network show ever...

Caruso is bad, isn't he? I always wondered how CSI Miami can keep top 5-7 Nielsen ratings? I'm a fan of the show, but I know the acting could be better. Perhaps his supporting cast carries the show?

 

[Songbird]

I saw Caruso a few times on NYPD and remember how he left to become a big movie star.

In CSI Miami, just listen to him deliver lines. I'd write down some type of humorous analogy, but I can't even think of one.

David Spade did a good rip on Caruso on the Showbiz Show a couple of weeks back.

I liked him on NYPD Blue. Then he went off and starred in Jade. Was that the name of it?And it was God-awful. I haven't been able to watch CSI: Miami because of it.

Caruso is up there with Chuck Norris as Walker:TX Ranger as characters who are deathly serious but amazingly, unintentionally hilarious.

That, my friend, is a bold statement, even with the "may" thrown in there.

Agreed, except I'd say Caruso as Horatio Caine. Caruso as Det. John Kelly on Blue was a believable character.

But, yes, CSI:Miami is right up there with 24 as the best unintentional comedy on TV these days.

It's pretty sad when you peak after 12 lines in an Officer and a Gentleman, yet keep getting acting jobs....
Caruso is weak

So will this be the last year of L&O: The Mother Ship?

I don't know enough about Jovich to comment about her casting, and I even think having a male/female dynamic in the detective team could be a shot in the arm. [As long as it doesn't get as absurd as Meloni and the Hungarian.]

But it seems like they've again gone the assistant to the ADA as eye candy/wallpaper route, which does not exactly inspire confidence.
