In 2004 their was a pilot made for a new show entitled "Nikki and Nora" starring Liz Vassey and Christina Cox that was set to air on UPN. However the episode never aired and the show never had a chance. It was about two New Orleans detectives who were partners on and off the police force. From watching the pilot I could see the show had a lot of potential. By the time I was finished watching it I wanted more. It really is a shame that it didn't get picked up.

CSI has a great formula and a proven following, so don't get me wrong, it's great for any actor to have a recurring role on a monster hit show, but give more dialog to Liz. She can do more than just look good in a sleeveless smock. Liz has been guest starring on all the best shows for years, ER, Frasier, and came close with starring roles on a couple of series that needed to go away, but now she's poised on the perfect show with the perfect character. Write her in and watch the fan mail.
I have not been a fan of CSI in the past but as the shows dwindle into summer I check out the other shows to see if I missed anything good. I like the cast of this show and have found it to be very good. After watching the episode "A Space Oddity" I was blown away by Liz's performance. Bravo from a peer for the great science fiction recreations! I love when writers give TV talent a chance to do something different!
Liz you are a hidden gem on this show and I look forward to seeing more!!
