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?

Leave the CSI shows alone. If there are any shows that should go, I vote for the Mentalist (I can’t stand Simon Baker) and then a Gifted Man (paranormal stuff turns me off). I’ve enjoyed all of the CSI shows and don’t want to see any of them go; maybe it’s because I’m a lab person and that fascinates me. Anyway, that’s my opinion on the subject.
Great show. I love the CBS Friday night line-up. I really miss CSI NY and so do several ladies that I know. We are not in the age demographic, and our Friday nights are usually at home.
Please do not cancel CSI-NY, the other 2 are terrible, if canceled is this a political move against the actors who are not democtrats !!!!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL “CSI NY”! It is the best of the 3. Las Vegas should go first, only reason it draws a crowd is the setting! Miami, pretty much the same, it’s the setting. NY is real and the people/actors are great, although I did like it better with Melina Kanakaredes. It deserves more than one more season. Gary Sinise and his crew are great!
If the network feels it needs to cancel one or two CSI series, I think they should start with the orginal Las Vegas show. Nearly all the orginal cast is gone and really is not that good any more. Next should come CSI Miami which I don’t even watch. David Curuso is a little over the top for me. Finally it should be CSI New York which I feel has the best actors and the ths best story line.
the show that needs to go is c s i miami instead of csi new york. I turn off C B S as soon as csi new york & the early show with charlie rose comes on.
Please, please do not cancel CSI-NY. It is one of my favorite programs. I love Friday night viewing. Dolores
I love CSI New York Please do not cancel it.
I am very stressed that CSI New York is off the air. It is much better than A Gifted Man which you put in that time slot. I am definitely voting to keep it on the air. The cast is great.
Thank you

Please DO NOT cancel CSINY. It is one of the best shows on t.v. Those of us who have been faithful viewers feel as though the cast are family members. I watched it when Stella was on and watch if faithfully every week. On Wednesdays, I didn’t go to bed until I watched the show. Now it’s on Fridays & I don’t make plans for a Friday night. Can’t miss my show. There are not many shows left on T.V. that is worth watching. There are just a few that I still watch faithfully. CSI-NY is on the top of… Read more »
Dont cancel csi ny if you cancel any csi cancel las vages
Please donot cancel CSI New York.. It still is as interesting and even more so, thanall of the reality shows.!!!!!!! And the talent shows, and any and all of the award shows. they only want to “bless” themselves for their MILLIONS of dollars that we so “rightously” give them.Ask the people who should stay and who or what should go!! Strange concept isn’t it?
PLEASE don’t cancel CSI-NY! It is the best of the 3. The original has gone downhill since Grissom left and now with Danson, I don’t even bother watching it. Miami could have gone years ago. It’s nice to be able to watch something that are not stupid comedy or reality shows.
Please don’t even think about taking CSI:NY off the air…it’s one of the better things on TV…we watch every episode, and no, we are not in the 18-39 age group but our kids are, and they love the show also!!!
If you cancel any of the csis please do us a favor and cancel CSIMAIMI that has been the worst of them I cant stand to watch david c. he hogs the show every week. The other shows they work as a team, please don’t cancel vegas or ny
