Those are the biggest mistakes I made in CSI: New York when we were doing stories about the docks or sandhogs or real estate—things you couldn’t sell. It wasn’t going to work in a promo.

I thought those type of stories were more natural and realistic. But selling them now might be harder. Casual viewers must be pleased with promos to make them watch the episode. As a fan, I really don't care how simple or awesome the promo for an episode is because I'll always be watching anyway.

This interview was from CSI files? Awesome! Thanks for sharing! :) Do we have something from CSI: NY's Pam Veasey?
 
^^ Yep, Kristine does interviews sometimes. She's awesome like that. ;)

It's a sad commentary that an entire story can be dismissed as a "mistake" because you can't make a glitzy, 30 second promo out of it. :wtf: :rolleyes: I'd take any story from S1 over some of the crap they produced in S4-S6. Good stories will bring loyal viewers to the yard, regardles of how snazzy the promo is.
