The No. 1 American show in the world
'Simpsons'? No. 'Lost'? Uh-uh. Try 'CSI: Miami'
Tuesday, April 4, 2006; Posted: 9:18 a.m. EDT (13:18 GMT)
CANNES, France (Hollywood Reporter) -- Twelve years after his ill-fated departure from "NYPD Blue," David Caruso can now claim to be one of the biggest Hollywood stars in the world.
His sun-drenched crime drama "CSI: Miami" is a ratings smash from Berlin to Bogota, from Paris to Pretoria. Outside the United States, "CSI: Miami" tops "Lost," "Desperate Housewives" and even the original "CSI" to rank as the most-watched U.S. series around the world.
"In a funny way, we are more resonant in the foreign markets than we are domestically," Caruso, 50, said in an interview at the MIPTV market, where producers sell their wares to foreign TV stations. "That's why I think it is very important to come and connect with the journalists here and viewers here because our relationship with the larger landscape is here."
Indeed, "CSI: Miami" ranks No. 12 so far this season among U.S. viewers aged 18-49, according to Nielsen Media Research. ("American Idol" takes the top two spots, followed by "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy" and "CSI.") The drama is currently in its fourth season.

Why in the world would this be?
(I'm sure tha answer could be taken from a fragment of something on the floor twenty feet away from the victim, which could then be analyzed and enhanced by a computer)

And in the grand scheme of things... what does this really mean?
I still think the show is mediocre pap, not particularly any better than any of the other CSI-type shows.

Wow, I can name dozens of other shows that I would've thought to have that much of an impact. How scientific is this result?
I've only seen the show once, but I thought Caruso was excellent on "NYPD Blue".
