CSI Crime Scene Investigation

PalmSpringsTransplant — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 18:24:58 GMT

Has anyone else noticed that CBS is airing more repeats of this show than new episodes this season? Yet the cable guide labels them as new so you tune in expecting a new episode and a few minutes in you realize, Hey, you've seen this before.

CBS has already said they may limit the order of new episodes this year after putting the show in what has become to be a deadly time slot, now they are making sure it will die!

Yes, I've noticed that, too. Last night, there was a message scrolling across the bottom of the screen that due to the football game's overrun, CBS decided to air the new episode of CSI at a later date. They did that last week, too. The episode they aired last night might have been a re-run, but I hadn't seen it before, so it was OK by me.

Seems goofy to me, to do that just because the football game went over the allotted time slot, but the network's in charge so I guess we just have to live with it.

The east coast didn't see any episode of CSI this week or last due to overrun of sports.

The 2 shows 'Madame Secretary' and 'The Good Wife' were shown and then it was time for the 11 PM news.

What happens if someone DVR's CSI and it starts late? Does the machine record the actual show or just the hour it was supposed to run? (And now you know why I just cancelled my DVR - I barely used it and decided to save the $150/year it costs.)

We used to have Tivo and it recorded whatever the guide said was supposed to be on, so if we wanted CSI on Sunday at 9pm, and the guide said CSI was on Sunday at 9pm, it recorded an hour's worth of Sunday at 9pm. If sport overran, and the 9pm show started late, it wouldn't extend the recording so we'd miss the ending.

It worked out OK when they rescheduled the missing show for the regular time the next week, but that's not always what happens. Once the station ran the "missed" show an hour late, so our Tivo didn't know that, and we totally missed it (happened with Elementary). Or if they run the missed show on a different, unexpected day, that isn't in the guide, then that doesn't record either.

I hate it when they mess with my stuff

Once CBS started moving shows around to accommodate football, I lost CSI in the mix. Last night, Sunday night football ran until 8 pm. CBS never pre-empts 60 minutes so I didn't get to see Madam Secretary until 9 pm. I read somewhere that the ratings were declining for CSI. The ratings are nothing to be ashamed of, but too low for CBS. I think they are contributing to the failure of the show by dumping it on Sunday.

I wonder how NCIS Los Angeles is doing? I never watch that one and think that moved that one around too.

I read an article yesterday that said CSI was sure to be cancelled this year. I guess I can understand why. It has been on for years and has gotten pretty stale in the last couple of years.

Yes, nothing like putting a low rating show onto another night and then start pre- empting it for the news and football programs.

Its being punished for its low ratings (by moving it to Sunday)

NCIS LA was moved to Monday at 10PM ET and was previously on at 10PM ET on Tuesdays last season. Currently in the Tuesday 10PM timeslot is another show in the NCIS dynasty-- NCISNOLA --NCIS New Orleans

I wish they'd quit moving CSI around; I've been chasing it all over the place. Plus I'm still ticked off that they cancelled CSI: NY. One of the few good programs left on network tv.

I'm embarrassed to say that the football game that went over its allotted time was our own Denver Broncos, who got totally whipped by the Patriots.

So I'm on the West Coast and there have not been scrolling messages indicating the episode will air another day. The cable guide says its new and that's what you're expecting. Like your mouth is ready for pizza and you get cottage cheese! Talk about a way to kill a franchise.

I'm very disappointed (and surprised!) that this show is "on the bubble". Have watched from the beginning & always hoped that "Grissom" would come back!

I had started a thread on this yesterday (in the Entertainment section) asking if the show had aired last Sunday b/c I had dvr'd, but got a different program!

It did air last Sunday, but it wasn't the new one, which we then thought was going to air last night. Seems like the description was something about a girls gone wild weekend for the CSIs that got interrupted. Anyway, that one was late, too, because of the football game, so that had 60 Minutes, Madame Secretary, The Good Wife & CSI all starting later.

I guess we have to sacrifice some of our favorite programming up to the altar of the football gods. Until after the Superbowl, anyway.

I know they had labeled the episode for last night as New and it was described as a kind of girls gone wild thing, but you may remember an episode from last year where Morgan, Finley and Sidle went to something out of town for the weekend, got sidelined on an out of the way road and one was almost presumed dead.

Even though they labeled the episode that was supposedly going to air last night as new, I was suspicious to begin with. Then, they re-aired the CSI-Computer geek episode.

Also, if you see an episode this season with the old cop, you immediately know its a repeat because he left at the end of last season.

I think that show has run it's course. It was never the same without Grissom.

Same with NCIS - never the same since Ziva left.

That's jmoymmv.

Well, I thought the same thing about that episode from last year. Whoever's submitting those descriptions must be smoking some wacky tabaccy or something Maybe we're living in an episode of The Twilight Zone?

Laurence Fishburne was a bad fit for CSI, but I kind of like Ted Danson in it and I'm surprised I do.

Really do miss Ziva and don't like the blond girl, but we've got to adjust. Ratings will take care of everything.

Laurence Fishburne was just too much of a talent for CSI. I think he could act circles around the best of them. Ted does ok - a far cry from his Cheers day, for sure.

NCIS is just the same; DiNozzo with his juvenile jokes and the blonde girl seems far too young to have the experience to be in the unit.

Even Abby has outrun her quirkiness.

Guess it's just not the show for me anymore, not that I was a big fan to begin with.

I did notice the exchange between Abby and DiNozzo about Ziva; I wonder if she'll be back even if in the final episodes. Isn't this the final season??

I have read anywhere that this is the final season, but yes, I did notice that interchange between Abby and Tony. I believe Ziva would come back for an episode or 2 but everything I've seen indicated she wanted out of the show, not the other way around so who knows?
