We first watched NY, then Miami and we've started Vegas last week.
 
1 - They fooled me once. Granted, I spent only 2 summers in NY but I never even took a moment to ask myself where CSI NY was shot. Mostly shot in L.A. it seems.
 
2 - They fooled me twice. Miami is not Miami either, for the most part. But then again, I've never been to Miami. Funnily enough, CSI Miami features lots of actors who've appeared on Dexter, which also takes place in Miami, which registers on a subliminal level.
 
3 - But I won't get fooled again... (see what I did there?) I may not get out much, but it's clear that the biggest part of the Vegas show is shot in California. 
 
4 - Saturation can define location. I'd never noticed how grey and blue CSI NY was until I started watching CSI Miami. I then noticed that everything orange and green was ridiculously saturated. The one episode that serves as a pilot to CSI NY has the contrast between NY and Miami equally ridicule. New York almost looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie...
 
5 - Sometime around 2004, ambient/background music was discarded in favour of ultramaximized beats/glitch/loops, which have nothing to do with music or what's onscreen 99% of the time...

6 - In the world of sound for picture, there is a before and an after The Dark Knight.
 
7 - If there had been TV shows like CSI on TV when I grew up, my life could have turned out differently. But we had CHIPs and Columbo...
 
8 - Sometime during the last decade, it became mandatory for actresses older than 18 to inject so much crap in their face that  the Joker's victims in Tim Burton's Batman almost look natural by comparison... (And that's a shame, really).

 
9 - I still don't like the Who. Maybe 10 years from now...
 
 

Hehe...

...like an excessive amount of nutmeg can produce hallucinogenic effects.
No wonder we never have nutmeg in my store.

Ah...  That explains why my local store is always out as well!

My friends son does a lot of editing on Network TV and HBO stuff. I noticed the effect that Rain mentions, above, and got an explanation of sorts. I didn't realise that the people producing the shows can have custom colour pallets. So they can spool the whole show through the computer and set a mood with colour. What was really cool, was the fact that they do it with film too. They shoot film and scan it through the computer to make a digital copy, then after they do the colour corrections, they print it back to fresh film for the finished master.
 
Maybe old news to you, but this codger was gob-smacked.
 

Watched The Butterfly Effect with the Directors talking over it. They used Saturation to represent the memories, the good memories were over saturated, but the bad nightmarish ones desaturated.

In summary then, you learnt that TV isn't real. Well done. Good for you.
