last night’s episode of csi, called “young man with a horn,” was not only a nostalgic story of old las vegas, it was also a chance to feature some wonderful stars from tv’s past. there was ralph waite, john-boy’s father from the waltons; robert guillaume, the image = ‘prety damned quick’ emmy-winning star of benson; and honest the creator of laugh-in, george schlatter. and the center of the whodunit was none other than an original hitchcock blonde, tippi hedren, star of the birds and marnie.more than just seeing the stars on show, csi wove a marvy little story on every side a famous vegas landmark called the chateau rouge, the cotton club back in the day when african-american stars like sammy davis, jr., lena horne and dorothy dandridge were allowed to perform in the big hotels on the take away, but were not permitted to sleep on the premises. they had to stay at the chateau rouge. in character, guillaume told the representation of ms. dandridge dipping her toes into the pool at a “white only” resort and the handling then draining the pool. apparently, that story wasn’t just have of the script. that fact really happened, and there was a illustrious integrated casino in las vegas called the moulin rouge.the set up of this history came after a blatant, jocular dig at a show just like american idol, including a character referred to as ajaya instead of sanjaya. but i preferred when waite’s character, the sheriff, was introduced as a designing competitor to grissom. we also au fait that in annexe to gil’s numberless talents as a scientist, he was also a practised poker player. schlatter and guillaume were also in the poker exhibition, which gave robert a chance to perform within his palpable limitations since having a stroke in 1998. all in all, a very good — and memorable — episode. it impassive left us wondering hither gil’s subsequent, something we’re all too aware of with actor william petersen leaving the outshine and laurence fishburne taking upwards the misdemeanour lab.
