I hear your pain. I've got 3 rules for CSI that so far seem to get 
everything.  "CSI%" "C S I%"  "C.S.I%"

And it's not just TVNZ.  I'd like get the word to TV3.  Over the weekend 
I saw 2 programs that used the subtitle field. Scared the crap out of 
me.  I didn't know what it was for a few moments.
