After 10 seasons, it’s time for David Caruso to turn in his sunglasses. CBS has cancelled CSI: Miami, the first show in the CSI franchise to end.
Starting in 2002, the TV series follows a South Florida team of forensic investigators who often use advanced scientific methods to solve crimes. The current cast includes Caruso, Adam Rodriguez, Emily Procter, Eva La Rue, Jonathan Togo, Omar Benson Miller, and Rex Linn.
The ratings for CSI: Miami have declined over the years. Season 10 averaged a 2.1 in the coveted 18-49 demographic with 9.85 million total viewers. That was down from season nine by 13% in the demo (vs a 2.4 rating) and down by 5% in viewership (vs 10.39 million).
While the cop show’s overall viewership is still impressive, advertisers want shows that cater to the demo audience and the network has many shows that attract big overall audiences.

What’s more, after 10 seasons on the air, CSI: Miami is no doubt very expensive to produce and there are already 232 episodes, more than enough to keep running in syndication for many years.
Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, suggested that one of the CSI shows might be cancelled this month. The original CSI was already renewed so it was a guessing game to see if Miami or NY would bite the bullet. CSI: NY has reportedly been renewed for season nine.
Of the cancellation news, CBS released the following statement:
CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy – a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS’s rise to the top over the past decade. We thank all the producers – led by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ann Donahue — and its talented cast, led by David Caruso, for 10 outstanding seasons. Viewers around the world will continue to enjoy rebroadcasts of CSI: Miami in syndication and on key digital platforms for many years to come.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that CSI: Miami has been cancelled? Will you miss the show? Was it time for it end or would you have liked to have seen an 11th season?

What were the executives at CS thinking? All you careabout are yourratings for thethe 18-49 demo. What about the rest of us who are older ? Thereare not too many shows that I like to watch, and it just seems that the few I do like get cancelled. Pretty soon all that will be on are reality shows. Some I like, most I hate.

audience from Malaysia
This was one of the best shows ever. How u going disappoint a fan like that. It doesn’t have a good ending please bring it back
CSI Miami was one of the best shows CBS ever had. It is THEIR loss. I pray another network picks the ball up and runs with it. Horatio will never die.
The reason for low ratings is, because you or whoever kept moving the show around at different times, different days and I never knew when it was on. First it was Monday nights then Sunday nights then Saturday nights. Its a wonder. I don’t see the other shows being moved around like that. If you cancel and don’t bring this show back, you should cancel LV next, because there is no sense to half the shows. Different actors throws off the whole show. New York should be kept. The Miami show is being rerun. The same shows week after week,… Read more »
