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 feel that CSI NY and NCIS are the best shows on CBS . CSI NY should NOT BE DROPED.
Miss CSI. Bring it back soon.
Why do you consider even condsider canceling shows that older people love. Younger Moms and Dads are usually busy with childrens activities. Older people are the ones that like and watch shows like CSI NY. My husband and I love this show.
Csi new york has always been the best csi of the three. Csi vegas has been the weakest of them all, although while I personally do not care for ted danson his character has been renewing to the show. Csi ny should not be cancelled!! Csi vegas probably should be. By THE WAY…GOLDEN BOY SUCKS!! Cancel it quick before it goes any farther. At least the csi shows give you a plot to follow nd try to figure out what is happening. Also what gives with hawaii 5-o? Please don’t cancell one of the best shows to come along in… Read more »
One of the best shows on TV. They have been trying to get rid of it since they moved it to Friday and for it to still be going shows it is very good indeed
Of the two CSI’s left, I prefer NY. Though I think Ted Danson has made a great addition, if one was to be cancelled, I choose CSI Vegas to go.
One of the best programs around. It would be a shame to cancel
Please keep CSI:New York. I enjoy this one so much better than the orginal and CSI:Miami. I realize to you ratings may be down,but this is the best one out of all three. Put it a better time and it may be better and get your ratings. The technology and cast are awesome. I even watch reruns on another channel. Keep this one and take off the orginal-that one is ucky and weird!
I love CSI NY i want then to renewed for season 10.
Please bring it back
Hi,
We love CSI NY and would love to see more seasons.
Don & Bev
It makes no sense this show draws 10 million viewers yet the so called demagrafic is all that matters. It seems that if a show had 5 million viewers with the right demagrafic it gets renewed. People who are outside of the 18 to 64 do have lots of dispensable income. To base if a show stays or goes on age borders on age discrimination.
Well lets start a boycott of all the sponsers who adrvise on CBS if they cancell CSI NY
I too love CSI: NY..the season finale left me waiting for Mack getting married and having kids…The cast has great “chemistry” 🙂 and I love watching all the science and since I grew up in NY and am an MD it’s great to watch NY and the lab work…I’d love to see Flack and Mack get married, Lindsay have her next kid and everyone go on with happy family lives, and how work and family can be good together. I agree, I watched Golden Boy and didn’t like it..maybe moving CSI: NY to Tuesday at 10 would be the best… Read more »
Please don’t cancel CSINY!!! I love it! I never miss an episode and even watch the reruns! I love Mac and Jo, and can’t wait for the next season!
I’m really looking forward to seeing Mac and Christine getting married…
It’s the best show on television !!!!
CSINY and Blue Bloods is a great combo on Friday nights.
Please let there be a 10th season
