CBS has moved CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to Sunday nights at 10pm this season — typically a sign that a show is on its way out. But, could the ratings turnaround and start to rise? Will the venerable series be renewed for a 16th season or will this be the end? Stay tuned.
The original CSI continues to follow Las Vegas crime scene investigators as they try to solve bizarre cases. This season’s castmates are Ted Danson, Elisabeth Shue, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Robert David Hall, Wallace Langham, David Berman, Elisabeth Hamois, and Jon Wellner.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/13 update: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has been cancelled but will wrap up with a TV movie.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.26 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a couple weeks later.
For comparisons: The 14th season of CSI averaged a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.93 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the CSI TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a 16th season?
Please, please keep this great show on the TV-screen!
It already made me sad this show was cut short into 18 episodes this season.

Please don’t cancel CSI. I’ve watched every episode since it started. It’s one of my very favorite shows. It’s always intriguing & entertaining. Love the cast, too. Still miss Grissom, tho’.
Cancelling CSI…is the WORST DAMN DECISION ever made..to me its best crime tv shows ever made..And as a fan of CSI, I would like to condemn the decision of discontinuing CSI
I do not like CYBER…please bring back CSI with Ted Danson…I never missed an episode and it always got better…..
Please don’t cancel one of my all time favorite shows!! I DVR and have seen every episode since the beginning. From Warrick to Grissom I’ve stuck by all along :'(
please don’t cancel csi other shows i have watched in the past were cancelled and its the best show ever!
This is a show has a real script and deserves to remain on the air, much of todays programing is an insult to ones intelligent. I am fan of CSI and have been all 15 seasons.
please dont cancel csi its the one show I dont miss , every since ted danson came on it has been as good as a lot of the other shows ,PleasePLEASE DONT CANCEL
Please don’t cancel CSI. I always watched it and loved the characters. The stories were always great! Bring it back please!!!!
I agree. The new series sucks (CSI Cyber). Bring back the Las vagas.
This is one of the best shows on all of TV. Actors are just wonderful and the scripts just keep you on the edge with attention.
Why would you ever consider cancelling this show?
Do not like the new CSI at all, too high tech and hammy actors.
I don’t like the new CSI either. Cancel that one and bring back Las Vegas!!!
since ted dansen came on, I love it.
Please do not cancel CSI. It’s one of the few shows on tv I watch. I don’t have cable and the caliber of shows being added are not interesting to me.
Bring back CSI… very disappointed in CBS. Cancel the people who made that decision.
Please dont cancel this show its one the few tv shows i look forward to watching and as long as its on i will be watching
