LT: So, it's time we have a heart to heart about something. If you're at all like I was, when you think of Miami, your brain automatically calls up images of scenes from the last episode you saw of CSI Miami. Miami must be a really beautiful city filtered through colorful lenses. FALSEHOOD. Let me tell you, it's a real let down to find out that the sky is the same color as every other sky, and government workers aren't, and never will be, beautiful people. Let's just do some visual truth-revealing here:
Image 1: scene from CSI Miami. Image 2: Actual shot of where this scene was filmed. So yeah, image 1...sweet sky, huh. While Miami does have an abundance of Lamborghinis, it looks way more like image 2...which brings me to my next point...image 2 was taken in Long Beach, California. Yeah. CSI Miami isn't even filmed in Miami. I know! Aside from some aerial views of the Miami skyline, the entire show is filmed in the LA area. So, no, we don't ever see the cast on the streets.

Another great example...crime scene investigators roll in H3s, right? Maybe you should check out the next picture, taken outside of the entrance to our apartment...yes, this is a real CSI van. Ryan and I were so excited to actually see it that we should have probably been more concerned about why it was there in the first place. Whatever. I guess it just goes to show that TV did get one thing right about Miami: the crime.
