On the CSI Files page, I noticed an interesting article. It says that CSI is only the second most watched show this year being beat out by Desperate Housewives. They said CSI started out strong at the beginning of season 8, but around the time of the writer's strike lost 17% of it's viewers. I'm thinking that it wasn't really the strike at all and that those in the 17% are Sara or GSR fans who don't want to watch the show without Jorja.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Definitely I agree with you - I've seen countless people writing that they will no longer be particularly bothered about watching the show post-GB&GL, unless they hear that a connection to Sara is made. Basically a chunk of the 'can always be relied upon, die-hard fans', who make up the fanbase that really matters (in my opinion anyway) have lost heart somewhat and will no longer go out of their way to catch the show as they used to.
But, it is great to see that CSI remains right up there at the top in general still - which is darned amazing after 8 years! Not bad for a bunch of scientists/geeks :lol: Would this have happened without our geeklove though? I most definitely think not. But I do think the writers know this too, which is why I feel good about GSR into the future woo hoo!
