CSI, genealogy TV show and producer David Rambo

David Rambo, former producer of the hit TV show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS, joined me on “The Forget-Me-Not Hour” radio show this week. He talked about being a producer of the show and shared how accurate the science on the show is.

In addition, David explained how a fictional TV show is developed. David and fellow CSI producer Carol Mendelsohn wrote a script for a TV pilot called “The Genealogist” for which I consulted a few years ago. The progress on the script was fascinating to watch. David also talked about his current TV project called NYC 21, a show about rookie cops in Harlem.

David is also a playwright and uses historical figures in his plays. He described his inspiration for writing the one-woman play “The Lady with All the Answers,” about columnist Ann Landers. His play about Ronald Reagan will debut after the November 2012 election.
