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?

I hope CSI NY continues to air in Fall 2013. I have enjoyed it all these years and when you get invested in a show and they take it away it is like loosing a friend. I love the character and it is always a good quality watch. I would like to know about it’s future.
Don’t cancel csi newyork because I don’t no what I would do without it I watch it everyday and I love it so much expecially the characters are amazing and expecially lindsay and danny xx
I agree with the guy that said too many interruptions!! This and Blue Bloods are my favorite shows on Friday night. The whole cast is good and you get involved with them. Of course, they keep the silliest shows on. This is why cable is growing so much (except for the reality shows which are showing our dumbing down!) Keep Gary Sinise on!!
NO..Do not cancel Ilove this show..Liz
JUST MAYBE, IF CBS WOULD STOP RUNNING THE LAME SPECIALS AND AWARD SHOWS WHICH INTERRUPT THE CONTINUITY OF ALL THE REGULAR SERIES, JUST MAYBE THE VIEWERS COULD FOLLOW THEIR FAVORITES. WHAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR LEAVING MARGINAL SHOWS LIKE TWO BROKE GIRLS, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, AND MIKE AND MOLLY ON WHILE THREATENING TO CANCEL CSI NEW YORK AND THE GOOD WIFE? 18 TO 49 YEAR OLDS DO NOT COMPRISE YOUR ENTIRE VIEWING AUDIENCE. 10 MILLION VIEWERS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN A SERIES??? WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE.
CSI NY is one of my favorite shows, put it on During the week! People do not watch as much TV on Fridays, causing ratings to drop! Try after CSI! Or before! A night if CSI and Criminal Minds, wow that’s TV! Or Thursdays with Person of Interest! Move Elemetary to Fridays. CSI NY and NCIS ARE MY favorites!
Please bring back one of the best CSI show ever. Thank you
I love CSI New York never missed a show. Out of all the CSI show NY was the best one. You should have moved it in the firsst place. You don’t mess with a good thing, I hope you bring it back.
ALSO LET MAC GET MARRIED AND LYNDSEY HAVE HER BABY . MORE FAMILY TIME TOGETHER.
KEEP IT ON, YOU HAVE ALREADY CANCELLED CSI MIAMI
I would like for everyone on the show to have a nice ending. I think you should renew it for at least one more year and go out with a big bang for everyone.
To add, I really think it is time for the original CSI to go. I mean none of them have relationships we really see. So many characters have gone over the years. Sara is the only one who came back and is married to Grissom but that is the weirdest marriage I have ever seen. You only hear his voice once or twice. Some marriage. I think it is time for it to go bye bye. Bring back Cold Case. That was a real downer when that was cancelled out of the blue.
I would love to see one more season where Lindsay has her baby. I would love to see Mac and his new lady get married and possibly have a baby too. I also think Don should finally get to keep his relationship going and growing with the newest member of the team. They look great together especially since Emmanuelle Vaugier was killed. It should end with all of them happy and show scenes from their futures with their respective spouses and grandkids. That would be perfect.
I really enjoy CSI new York. If its going to end please ensure you come up with a great ending. So sd to see the show go 🙁
i love to see if you can bring back csi ny because it is good show for it i only get 1-6 season on csi ny so please bring back ok. the show is wonderful and great show
