Another reason Miami is likely to be renewed might be because it's done better in the Sunday timeslot (where its delayed and preempted by sports and other things) than any other show CBS has tried in that timeslot.
None of us are prepared to see Mac leave just yet. Especially since (IMO) it and CSI Las Vegas have gotten much better in the past couple of seasons while CSI Miami jumped the shark long ago and has yet to land. Having said that,it looks very much like this will be CSI NY's last season. You don't reduce the number of episodes for a show, put it on a hiatus and put it in a bad time slot if you intend to bring it back. Despite all that, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that TPTB still see it has enough left in the tank for one more season at least.
Indeed it has. Cold Case(I still miss that show) got slaughtered in that time slot in it's final year.
To be honest, I'm not ready to say goodbye to all 3 shows period. And football is officially over with Sunday night's Superbowl, so no more late starts, hopefully (keep fingers crossed!).
I wanted to share a link to the thread about trying to save CSI: NY. I hope we can make a difference. Any help would be great. I was part of something similar last year to save the girls on Criminal Minds. They did let the girls go, but the fight we put in brought them back and now we have the whole team together again. Maybe if we can do that here it would make a difference. Please check it out. http://talk.csifiles.com/showthread.php?t=64360
but what about the fact that it's consistently winning the hour week after week, even with a small ratings dip? does that mean nothing?
