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 New York is my favorite. However, they need to bring back Stella. If they are going to end the series, please bring back Stella; let Mac and Stella ride off into the sunset together. Keep the fans happy and you may not lose all of your viewers.
Love CSI NY and love Gary Sinise. Don’t cancel yet. Give it a couple more seasons.
Save CSI:NY if one must be dropped drop Miami . It’s mainly just about Caine and his enemies anyway.
My family loves CSI New York. Vegas is not the same without Grissom and Katheryn. I’m not into Miami, so I hope they leave New York-its the best of the 3
I agree CSI NY must be saved it is the best of the CSI’s, the one that should be cancelled is CSI itself it’s been a disaster since ‘Grissom’ left.
I agree CSI NY should be saved it is the best of all the CSI shows, the one that should be cancelled is CSI itself, it’s been a disaster since ‘Grissom’ left.
Love CSI NY – Don’t cancel!!!
Out of the 3 CSI shows, CSI NY is the best. I would rather see CSI in Las Vegas cancelled and I live in Las Vegas.
Hope it’s not politics. I’m a liberal dem and I like Gary Sinise and CSI….all 3 of ’em..
This is a great show. CBS needs to lease things along throughout the network. Some of their changes have caused lost of viewers.
I love CSI NY. Of course being born and raised in NY might have something to do with that, but I also highly regard Gary Sinise. I just wish they would bring back Stella. I never watch the other CSI shows anymore, as I don’t care for David Caruso or Ted Danson – bring back Grissom. If one of the CSI shows has to leave, my preference is therefore to keep NY and dump Horatio.
don’t cancel, I love the show. Move it to Sunday or Monday at 8pm (can move Mondays shows to Friday or Sunday as they are family type shows). You could even move it to Wednesday at 8 or 9 pm as there is nothing worth watching at those times.
do not cancel move it to wednesday at 8 or 9 when nothing else is on that is anygood, or even Monday (move those shows to Friday or Sunday) or Sunday at 8 as there is nothing worth watching then.
I like the show but all good things come ot an end. I hope they wrap it up like they did last year when it looked like it was ove. I am STILL pissed at NBC for not giving Law&Order any kind of proper send off after over 450 epiosodes.
I really like this show. I hope it is not cancelled.
I agree with a lot of other posts here. CSI NY is the best of the 3. I got started on CSI (Vegas) and picked up Miami too. Dropped Vegas, and have since dropped Miami because it sucks. CBS sucks too. They want to keep Vegas and Miami and drop NY which is the best? Makes me think to last summer when CBS dropped Flashpoint. Flashpoint is probably the best show on TV, but CBS dropped it. At least ION was smart enough to pick up the new episodes. CBS has some great shows on (only other channel I watch… Read more »
