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?

Please don’t cancel CSI NY. It’s the best and most interesting of the CSI shows and the one with the best actors and characters.
While CSI more and less died when William Peterson (Grissom) left and when CSI Miami has become weaker in recent seasons, mostly focusing on the characters personal problems instead of good episodes, CSI NY is still going strong.
Not to mention that all CSI shows are much better than the crappy soap operas and sitcom programs that we have to stand these days.
Please keep CSI NY.
CSI NY and CSI Miami should not be cancelled they are both better than the first CSI. There is a mystery about Horatio Cain and as for Mac Taylor the way he suffers with the loss of his wife as well as how both care for their teams. Both shows are great please don’t cancel them.
I do not want this show to be cancelled, I have watched the CSI series for years.
[…] CSI: NY is on the bubble once again this year — teetering between being cancelled and being renewed for a ninth season. It’s unfortunately not a new story. […]
Please don’t cancel the CSI TV shows . I have watch every show that has been on since it has started. The only time I miss it was when I was working , than I watch the show on my computer the next day. And I also watch the reruns on TNT , A/E that is a great show. I wish you can start another CSI show in another City LIke Chicago, Seattle, Dallas,or New Orleans that is how much I love the show.
CSI NY is my favorite of the three though I do love all of them. I record them if I am not going to be home. I watch only seven shows regularly to the point of not wanting to miss a single episode. All three CSIs are in this category. Two others, NCIS and Criminal Minds, are also on CBS and on this list.
CSI Miami is the one that needs to go. I even like New York over the original. This should be the one that stays!
I think it would be a humongous mistake to get rid of any of the CSI shows. I enjoy watching the new shows and the reruns as well. I plan ahead to make sure that I record the show if I am planning to be away from home when it is going to be on. Please, please, please don’t take any of the CSI shows off the air.
Noooo, please, renew CSI NY, I love this show, it deserves more seasons.
Please don’t cancel the CSI shows!!!! I love CSI NY. It’s so sad that reality shows seem to take over television. I’ve also been missing my CSI NY. Please don’t cancel it.
I think you would be making a HUGE mistake by taking any of the CSI shows off!!!!! I watch them fathfully,in fact I go through and set a reminder for all of them 1-2 weeks in advance.And I even record them on my DVR if I am not gonna be home.I LOVE ALL of the CSI show,they afre a heck of a lot better then any of those STUPID reallity shows,they are just totally STUPID!!!!!! PLEEEEEEEASE dont take any of them away,do what ever you have to do to keep them..
PLEASE do not cancel CSI: NY or CSI: MIAMI. I love these shows and look forward every week. I have my DVR set for the weekly shows and can’t waite to see whats going to happen next on them.
Love this show. I have been waiting for it to come back on for weeks. I miss my show. Please do not cancel this program. I have watched it from the beginning and would hate to see it go. I agree that CSI New York and all the other CSI’s are better than reality shows. KEEP IT ON!
I love the CSI series all three. Yes they are better then the reallity shows and it would be very disappointing. Most of the show on CBS I like NCIS’s The Good Wife, Criminal Mines, Castle, Bluebloods,Hawaii 50 these are a few that I watch and love them all.
Please do not cancel any CSI shows. They are all better than stupid “reality” show or cartoon, or the Good Wife….speaking of CBS shows only. Of the 15 shows we watch weekly (most often watching cable until 10pm because of the lousy selection on CBS,ABC,NBC and FOX ((incuding reruns of our regular shows)) ), 11 are on CBS. Can’t wait until you people , who decide who is important to entertain and who isn’t, are old enough where you don’t count. Too bad.
