Which of the top three most-watched series in the world has no tabloid divas, a 55-year-old woman controlling the scripts and a lead actor who's most famous for leaving for another show? 

It's csi miami dvd, now in the home stretch of its eighth season anchoring CBS' 10 p.m. Monday time slot, where it finds itself with new competition now that Jay Leno has returned to late night. The series, which resumes tonight with a new episode directed by heavy metal rocker Rob Zombie, is a rare TV animal -- a high-profile, long-running show that's both massively successful and relatively anonymous. 

Its story lines are not fetishized and de-constructed like those of "Lost," there's been no "Grey's Anatomy"-esque in-fighting and its female stars barely make a ripple among TMZ-philes. 

Since 2002, csi miami dvd has trounced its competition on Monday nights, leaving a string of reality competitions, sci-fi series and most recently, Leno's doomed NBC variety show in its wake. The show's early success was buoyed by its connection with the original "CSI," which debuted in October 2000 and is the most-watched current dvd collections on the planet, according to Eurodata TV Worldwide. CSI miami dvd has also had the advantage of consistently strong lead-in audiences from CBS' block of Monday sitcoms, which includes "Two and a Half Men," the highest-rated sitcom on television.

But unlike so many spin-offs, csi miami dvd has managed to carve out its own identity while staying true to the CSI formula of stylized crime, smarty-pants detective work and, of course, a theme song by the Who. In fact, aside from David Caruso, the veteran actor who plays lead investigator Horatio Caine, the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" might be the series' most prominent presence.
