The series was once CBS’ top-rated show but those days are long gone and it’s now time for the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation TV series to end. There won’t be a 16th season but there will be a conclusion.
Debuting in October 2000, CSI follows Las Vegas crime scene investigators as they try to solve bizarre cases. This season’s castmates are Ted Danson, Elisabeth Shue, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Robert David Hall, Wallace Langham, David Berman, Elisabeth Hamois, and Jon Wellner.
While CBS is ending CSI as a series they are planning to wrap up the show with a two-hour movie. It will air on Sunday, September 27th, and feature several castmembers who have populated the series over its tenure — including original stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger.
Danson, who’s been with the series since the 12th season, will then relocate and become a regular castmember on CSI: Cyber — the latest spin-off series that stars Patricia Arquette and James Van Der Beek.
What do you think? Are you sorry that CSI is ending? Will you be watching the finale movie?
what is the reason for canceling this series I’m really going to miss this I’ve watched every moment
CSI(all) is the reason I watch CBS. Guess CBS has lost another viewer. CSI was, is and will always be a great tv crime solving series.
It’s a shame that all of the great traditional tv shows are being cancelled in order to have those fake reality shows that just are too boring or and insult to people’s intelligence.
I am fantabidozzies with CSI Las Vegas is my
Favorite crime drama It wouldn’t be the same TV without it. That’s why the spin offfs did not do as well. NCIS is not as good but it is still going… It’s like canceling your best friend… even Family Guy was reinstated because cancelation was a mistake. Revival of the writer’s maybe the kick it needs to be on top again. Law and Order is still going…So should CSI Las Vegas… I love William Petersen
I appreciate that they are giving CSI Las Vegas a proper ending. It has lasted 15 years and that isn’t an easy task. I thank CBS for the great cast, past and present. CSI Las Vegas will be missed but sometimes its just time to let it go.
The show went downhill when you put Danson on it. He just doesn’t have what it takes for this show.
He will probably be the downfall of Cyber CSI Show,too.
What will replace this, another reality show?
I have watched this program since day 1. Even with all the changes, it has been the best show ever! I am really sad to see it cancelled. I even own all the dvds. At least there will be a final movie.
Are Greg and broody together???
I am sad that the show is going off the air. I have watched CSI since the beginning. I will be watching the 2 hour movie for sure and I’m glad that William Peterson and Marg helgenberger are coming back. Are they going to bring Nick Stokes back for the movie too.
I am sorry to hear that the show is ending. my husband and I have been avid watchers since day one. when Grissom left it broke my heart. then Marge left and George EADS. even in season 12 when they killed Warrick I cried. I’m not a great fan of Ted Danson and so if the ratings drop when he came to the show.
I am 62 years old and 1mo. older than William Peterson My favorite person in CSI! I also have many seasons of CSI but with William. Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved all the
first pioneers and was glad they stayed with the show till now. I never got tired of the show and can watch my seasons over and over. I wish everyone good luck and thanks for the best in T.V. and not like the smut they have now..
love CSI and all the spinoffs, never missed an episode… was not very happy when grissom left, didn’t care for his replacement, until ted damson joined the show. I will be sad to see it go, will watch the final show, thank you for ending it with a wrapup movie, looking forward to it. some of the characters I will miss, some not so much.. love the new cyber show, but it is different than the other CSIs
This I can’t believe – it was the best of the best despite cast changes. Awful awful for Sunday night viewing. And yet CSI Cyber prevails. It is awful. So they take away Intelligence after tempting us with great TV last year and Battle Creek after tempting us this year – and now brutally take away. CSI – the original great one. Boo Booo Booooo to CBS programming.
Agreed
Benee, I certainly agree with everything you said. I’m down to watching only one CBS show and it sure isn’t CSI Cyber even if Ted Danson (who I think was a wonderful addition to CSI) joins the new show. CSI will be sorely missed. I hope I remember when the movie is on. I really want to see how it ends. Just saw Eric Szmunda in a play and kept thinking how I will miss him in CSI. He was my favorite on the show.
i have been watching this since its first started the changes on the show have worked out pretty good, the original cast was awful good but i know things change but you dont take a show off its original time when its the best show on thursdays. i will watch the movie but you have lost me as a watcher, csi cyber stinks nothing like the original.
I’ve watched this show from its start in 2000. Some of the changes I liked, some not so much.
But the combination of characters the show has now is the best. Hate to see them go. Almost like saying good-bye to an old friend.
Loved the show when Grissom was on but not so much when he left. Hope to see him one last time in the final episode
