Fans 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?

Please, please do not cancel this show, I only watch the Vegas and NY CSI shows, the Miami one is terrible. I will be very upset it that Gifted Man takes over the slot, that takes care of CBS for me on Fridays, then all I will watch is Blue Bloods. Why don’t you learn not to mess with good shows. I was not happy with your rescheduling The Good Wife and I have not been able to watch it this season. Hate all that ridiculous reality shows, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc. So awful!!!!
I was not a happy camper when it looked like CSI NY might be cancelled. So glad to hear it has been renewed!
Very glad to hear CSI NY has been renewed for another season. It is one of our favorite shows
Last Friday, Feb 17th Undercover Boss was on at 8 pm EST, Gifted Man on at 9 pm then Blue Bloods on at 10 pm. Does this mean this season of CSI NY is done? Such a disappointment, I have watched CSI NY from season 1 its the best CSI series thats on. What can we do to bring it back.
I love CSI New York and very glad it’s not cancelled. The characters are great and the stories always interesting. Plus I like just about any show that’s about NYC.
I am very much relieved to know that CSI NY has not been cancelled. It is one of the quality shows on the air. I do not enjoy the “reality” programming and love good drama. Let’s have more of its kind and less of the shows that are about greed and underhandedness.
Very Glad it’s coming back We always watched Gifted Man CSI New York and Blue Bloods on Friday nights. Great trio of shows. I do not care for all these realty shows
Thank you, and we have the best Friday night line up back.
My husband and I love CSI NY. We are so glad it has not been cancelled! We like all the CSI’s except for NCIS. I can’t believe their ratings are so high! We love watching CSI NY and then Blue Bloods. It makes our Fridays!!!! Please do not cancel!!!!!!
They have a good program, with good actors.
Let us enjoy some good programs.
pleases dont cancelled csi ny it is a very good show even do they move it to friday night .
If CSI NY has not been discontinued, when will it return?
I am so glad they are not canceling NY.
Why you cancel a good show. I havw been watching
it since it started. Was feeling bad at the thought of it
being canceled. Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear its back. It was part of my Friday night – all CBS – Gifted Man, CSI NY and Blue Bloods. With so many “shows” like survivor, etc. I do not have much to choose from because I do not like those shows. I was hinking it would be elimated like CSI (the original) with so many changes people lost interest. CSI NY is really a great show and the cast is wonderful and respectful to each other and the viewers. Thanks.
