We’ve received several emails from readers who love CSI: NY and are worried that it’s been cancelled. Will the show ever return? The simple answer is, “Yes, it’s on hiatus until March 30th.” But, while the TV series hasn’t been canned yet, Gary Sinise and company could certainly be in their final season.
It’s no secret that the ratings have declined over the years and that’s probably one of the reasons that CBS moved it to a Friday night timeslot. It still brings in a respectable 10 million viewers each week but is one of the network’s worst performer in the prized 18-49 demographic, even when you adjust for the Friday timeslot. Year-to-year, the show is also down by 7% in the demo.
At the recent TCA press tour, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler noted that, though she loves the CSI shows, “Nothing runs forever. How you handle it, the most important thing is how you respect your audience, how you respect your cast, and being incredibly sensitive to how you wrap up any show when it ends a successful run. But we are in those talking stages now (about how to end the CSIs).”
It’s unlikely that CBS will end all three CSI series this year but they could certainly drop one or two of them. Based on the ratings, the New York version would be first in line to be cancelled.
What do you think? Is this the last season of CSI: NY? Should the series be cancelled or renewed for one more season?

CSI NY is the best of the CSI’s, especially CSI Miami. If you cancel anything, it should be the other two CSI’s beginning with Miami.
Sure would hate for any of the CSI shows to be canceled. They all have good story lines & think the acting is good in all three. Right now CBS has the best line up. Not too happy with CSI Miami being on Sun night because of the ballgames.
Good plots, really good cast…CSI NY is well worth keeping and the cast is much better than the CSI Miami cast.
I love all the CSI’s, please keep them all!
I love CSI NY!! Like it much better than the original. Please don’t cancel CSI NY!!!
Love CSI NY and do not want it cancelled. I wait for Friday to watch Gifted Man and CSI NY. They keep taking off the good shows and putting more stupid reality shows. It doesnt say much about the intelligence of the viewing population.
CSI Miami is the one that should be cancelled. Should have happened a long time ago.
The writing is awful; the acting is awful. Can’t believe it’s still on the air.
The CSI’s are some of the best shows so don’t screw up & cancel them. CSI NY is much better than Las Vegas & Miami
OMG! Drop another of my favorite shows! Get real people! I am so durn tired of my favorite shows being canceled I could literally just scream! I am already having to tape an hour and a half PAST CSI miami on Sundays just to get all of CSI miami taped because of all of those stupid ball games and realitty shows on that are bumping CSI miami behind. Please don’t cancel another CSI show or Criminal minds show. This is unreal. All of my favorites are being canceled. please keep all the CSI shows on. They are my favorites.
I think CSI NY is the best of the CSIs. I hate to hear that they are even thinking about cancelling it. Please save it!
If any are going to be canceled it should be CSI Miami. The acting is horrible even after all of these years! Love the other 2 CSI’s and would hate to see them leave.
Not to knock anyone every show is a team effort. I feel the CSI series are still quality TV
I wait all week long for Friday evenings to watch CSI New York and Blue Bloods and was so disappointed when I saw that another show had replaced Csi NY. CBS moved my other two favorite shows to Sundays The Good wife and CSI Miami and because of the stupid reality shows they are never on when they are suppose to be, so they can’t be taped. Have stopped trying to tape them and don’t watch anymore. Please keep CSI NY and drop CSI Miami or CSI Criminal investigations instead and stop moving popular shows to Sunday where football and… Read more »
I like CSI New York the best of the three. I think it has gotten better and better and Gary Sinise has contributed to that. Do not cancel!
I miss CSI:NY and don’t want to see it go. I feel the same about CSI:Miami
