CSI: NY: CBS TV Show Renewed for Season Eight

Published:May 17, 2011

CSI: NY renewed season eightFans of CSI: New York can rest easy. The Friday night series was looking like it might be cancelled but has now been renewed for an eighth season.

Starring Gary Sinise, CSI: NY investigations follows the investigations of a team of forensic scientists and police officers in the Big Apple. It began in the fall of 2004 and currently co-stars AJ Buckley, Anna Belknap, Carmine Giovinazzo, Eddie Cahill, Hill Harper, Robert Joy, and Sela Ward.

CBS moved CSI: NY to Friday nights this season, leading many to believe that it was on its way out. The ratings have declined over the years and naturally took a big hit when it was moved. Still, the show has performed better than most other shows of the night and currently averages a 1.8 in the 18-49 demographic and more than 10 million viewers.

According to Deadline, the decision to renew came right down to the wire. Contributing factors that pushed it over the edge include the fact that the show has a profitable syndication deal and also does quite well in international sales.

Though the TV series will be back for an eighth season, it’s not decided how many episodes will be ordered. Unlike the others, it may end up being a 13 episodes season.

What do you think? Are you glad to hear that CSI: NY will return for season eight?

I am from Panama City, Panama. I like very much this tv investigative series. Each character is unique. They are like family, caring for each other. Watching their backs.

Glad to see it coming back, and I hope it’s a full season. Was the best of the CSIs between William Peterson and Ted Danson. Now it’s a tie.

I am thrilled CSI NY is coming back for the 8th season. When I was watching the finale Friday night, I was so scared this was the last episode. The stories and characters are still strong and some show can’t say that. I would be a little disappointed if there were only 13 epispodes.

Yes I’m glad it is being renewed. Currently, in my opinion, it is the best of the CSI shows. CSI Miami has never been that good and I feel CSI the original is going downhill. So it is good to see that they have renewed CSI New York.
