Captain
The CSI franchise is back in force this week after the rerun period, with all three incarnations premiering new instalments.
CSI: Miami's "Shootout" is the first cab off the rank at 10:00 p.m. on Monday, January 3. Here's how CBS describes the episode (via the Futon Critic):
<font color=yellow><blockquote>When gang-related gunplay goes down in an emergency room, Horatio and the team must find the gang members responsible. The evidence suggests that an orderly in the hospital recognized the wounded gang member, who possibly killed one of the orderly's friends and alerted gang members to his location. However, the evidence doesn't match up and the CSIs discover that a cheating girlfriend, not gang retaliation, may be behind the shooting. Meanwhile, Ryan questions a mother in the E.R. after her story regarding her child doesn't add up.

<FONT COLOR=YELLOW>Norberto Barba</font>, whose credits include Medical Investigation and American Dreams, directed the episode, which was written by Miami story editor <font color=yellow>Corey Miller</font> and producer <font color=yellow>Sunil Nayar</font>.

<font color=yellow><blockquote>The team tackles a series of complicated investigations when murdered victims are found in three New York City boroughs. Mac and Stella investigate the murder of a young man found dead in a Brooklyn subway station. Although the victim was electrocuted, the train's third rail is not the likely culprit. Danny and Det. Maka (guest star Kelly Hu) examine the death of an art gallery owner whose final sale was a painting with mob ties that may have been forged. Meanwhile, Aiden and Det. Flack work on the mysterious death of a worker found dead on a construction site.
