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?
Renewed one of best on TV
Please dont cancell csi vegas one of the best csis. Csi cyber is stupid csi will be sooo missed. Please reconsider that mistake….. and it ia a major mistake!!!!
please dont cancel a great show we have watched every season we will be sad to see it go
How can u possibly cancel CSI????? It was bad enough u got rid of Stokes!!!! This is the best of all the CSI shows….so so so disappointed!!!!
I love the show! Please don’t take the only good thing off TV!
I have been a faithful fan of the show from the very beginning and I certainly would like to continue enjoying it for a long time. So here i leave my vote against finishing it! I´ll be very sorry tosay goodbye to one of the best tv series ever…
I watch csi in Scotland so our last series was 15 so is there more? Please at least finish the stories.
I can’t believe it’s finishing ,cbs should listen to it’s viewers. and keep it going.
Please don’t cancel. It is still one of the few decent shows left. I don’t watch reality joke shows, nor canned sit coms or half of the junk on network TV. Thank goodness for cable, as I watch fewer and fewer network shows. And no, I haven’t posted this before.
The Reason that the show had low rating is because you had the show 60 mins go over time so no one could watch csi oh my God really I think that maybe CBS needs to see what viewers have to say then what someone that don’t like the show wow
Absolutely!! I was always so mad when 1/2 the show was missing…..that’s the big mistake….I have seen every episode several times just because I DVR all reruns….it’s disappointing that all of the original CSI characters are gone. Come on….it’s the best one of all the CSI spin offs….except maybe the newest Cyber XSI
At least the Cyber spin off is is the best one…The New York and Miami CSIs are awful.
I wish season 16 was the final season.
Please don’t cancel! Great show!
This show is boring.this show should be cancelled.
So don’t watch it…. Watch the other crap on TV…
please don’t cancel!!!! There isn’t to many interesting shows on any more. most of the you don’t even think. At least the CSI shows, NCIS and other NCIS shows are interesting and really happens.
please don’t cancel!!!
Please, please don’t cancel, it has and always will be the greatest show.
You got it Gary I agree
