CSI Files
Captain
The three CSI series are tipped to occupy Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights on CBS's fall schedule when the network announces its plans for the 2004-2005 season in New York later today.
CSI: New York could inherit the Monday 10 p.m. slot from CSI: Miami, industry sources told the Hollywood Reporter. CBS may want to give the Big Apple incarnation the benefit of an established CSI time period, which has a strong lead-in from successful sitcoms Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and a Half Men.
Horatio Caine and the CSI: Miami team are expected to head for a Wednesday berth, according to the trade paper's sources. The Florida series is tipped to occupy either the 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. slot, both of which would put it into competition with other top-rating series such as The West Wing, The Bachelor and Law & Order. CBS may decide to pair Miami with a new drama series, Dr. Vegas, starring Emmy-nominee <font color=yellow>Rob Lowe</font> (The West Wing).
Another alternative, as reported in Variety, is for either New York or Miami to replace Judging Amy at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday nights. Competition in this time slot includes Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and N.Y.P.D. Blue.
And what of the godfather of the franchise? CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is expected to stay put at 9 p.m. Thursdays, where it usually rules supreme in the ratings. This would allow CSI to continue its winning "crime time" partnership with Without a Trace.
CBS chairman <font color=yellow>Les Moonves</font> will officially announce the network's fall schedule in New York later today. To read more, head over to the Hollywood Reporter or Variety articles.<center></center>
