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?

I want csi Miami to come back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super sad about this. I love csi miami more than any other show
I was appalled to hear CSI:Miami was cancelled after waiting a whole year for the new season. It was not time to end, I was looking forward to so many more episodes to come. This saddens me, it’s THAT SERIOUS! CSI: Vegas is getting better, but if it was between CSI:NY & CSI:Miami > NY should’ve been chopped. Horatio, Delko, Calleigh and Wolfe, Boa Vista and Walter will all be missed :(…….
I have to say to hear that CSI Miami will not return for season 11 is very disappointing!!
It was the best of the CSI series and will be sorely missed. I will miss my weekly dose of H 🙁

CSI MIAMI being that this it was canceled since without reason for me it is the best television series and cbs you I would like to return her to have for next year 2014 or at the end of this 2013 . CSI the VEGAS is the second series that he/she gets me the attention it is not as the first one but he/she has a lot of outburst to follow several seasons . NCIS is an amusing series it is not as other series and they know… Read more »
i don’t want csi miami to end i love dat show very much…..
My favorite of all the CSI type shows.
Caruso is excellent but La Rue was underutilized!
It would be poetic justice to bring the show back!
Such an amazing show… shame it ended!
Where the hell have you been. This show was cancelled April of 2012. It’s May 2013. Way to go reporting news over a year late. Dumbasses.
The show was cancelled in May of 2012, when this article was written and posted.
It is a shame that CSI Miami has been cancelled. I am sure that if H was given a last episode he would find the true reason, possibly that the ratings were rigged. CSI Miami must have had an impact on Law enforcement officers in real life which is bad for the business of Corruption and its spread – which could also be one of the reasons for its cancellation. They have cancelled a true projection of work principles, morals and ethics. A sad loss to all Americans and to the Global viewers.
