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?

Love Sela Ward and have been an avid watcher since she joined cast. Hate Miami series and stopped watching LV when Grissom left. Lost L&A CI so please give thos another season at least.
CSI NY IS THE MOST REALISTIC OF THE GROUP. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!! GARY SINESE IS GREAT!!
CSI NY is the best of all three CSI. The Worst being CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
I hope that they don’t cancel CSI NY I enjoy it very much. There is so much junk on TV they I don’t enjoy watching. Hopefully it will stay with us.
I actually love this show since Sela Ward came on board, didn’t like Melena Kanakaredes as Stella at all, altho I loved her on Providence back a few years ago. I have always love Gary Senise, and I think the whole crew together are great. CSI Miami is to weird with the red head, he is just to intense and his head seems to be tilted all the time. Keep NY please, great lead up to Blue Bloods.
This one is my favorite. Move it back to Wednesday after Criminal
Minds!
I love this show and I will hate to see this go off the air I do understand if that happen I will miss this I like the cast on this show just want let you no my opinion thank you
Bring it back. Miami can be cancelled. CSI went downhill after Grissom left, but this season’s have been better.
CSI-NY is the best of the bunch. CSI-Miami is the worst. When has anybody seen a REAL CSI go to a homicide scene in designer clothes and sky high heels ? Of course, if you want believability, none of the CSI shows will work.
Renewed, this one has the best characters and cases of all 3 hands down. But as I said, something good is gonna take a bullet, so will it be this? We’ll see.
We watch it every week. Gary Sinese the cast are great.. would hate to see it end this season. It is always an adventure.
I agree…
I agree with
tiffiny n Jeremy.
Really look forward to csi new york on friday night. Not much else to watvh on fridays.
It’s too bad: reality shows don’t hold a candle to a well scripted show. If the CSI series start going away, I agree with Tiffany – the Miami one is creepy, followed by CSI Los Angeles that focuses on the team rather than what they’re trying to do. I’m looking forward to CSI New York’s return.
I think moving it to Friday night was a game changer for the show. Not many people, like me, stay home on Friday nights watching tv. I think the show has stepped up its game in the past two years with far more interesting storylines. I would hate to see it cancelled.
Of course all the good shows always get canceled! Love this show! It was a mistake moving it to Friday nights, no wonder it slipped in the ratings.
if your going to cancel one, I vote that you remove CSI-Miami! Sunday night @ 10, what does that tell you. Most of us have to go to work the following morning….
