So, is it the last season for CSI?

What do you think? I think that Grissom leaving for a few episodes has been a test to see if the show can survive without him. It could mean that CSI will be coming to a close soon.

I think that, even if Grissom leaves, CBS will continue the series for at least one more season if enough of the remaining cast signed back on. It would certainly fall out of the top 10 TV shows, but I think it would still make them money for at least one more season. Heck, ER has dragged on through far more character departures than I ever would have guessed they could; maybe the CSI writers could pull off something similar.

Oh dear, then every CSI episode would be "the must see event of the year" or have "[insert guest star name here]'s performance of a lifetime". :)

Heh, heh, your right. I didn't mention that I had actually stopped watching ER years ago. :-)

I would disagree because William Petersen will be back after his theater stint. CSI would not be ending soon.

Actually, the producer of CSI was on a talk show the other night and he said that they all just signed a new 3 year contract. so Grissom will be around for another 3 years. FYI Will Petersen left for a month because he was doing a play in Chicago.

I used to love CSI but I started to watch the office and now I'm hooked...I didn't even know Grissom was gone until I saw this last commercial that said he was coming back. I think Gil should join the office cast. That would be interesting.

I hope not! This show has been a staple of my thursday nights for so long that I don't know what I'd do for tv that night without it!

I hope it doesn't. I like Grissom on there but if they found the right actor and character I think the show could go on. It would take some doing but it could be done. I'd really hate to see it end. I watch it every week. I also watch it on re-runs during the day on Spike TV. I gues it if does end I'll just have to survive on re-runs.
