[*]CSI: Miami's special 90-minute episode <A class="link" HREF=http://www.csifiles.com/episodes/miami/season3/crime_wave.shtml>"Crime Wave"</a> brought in 15.3% of the American audience, which equates to 22% of those households watching TV that night (compared to 14.2/24 for the last new episode a fortnight ago). The show netted a massive 21.91 million viewers and was not only top of the hour but top of the night by a decisive margin. A full report is available at <A class="link" HREF=http://www.mediaweek.com/mediaweek/columns/prog_insider.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000709246>Mediaweek's Programming Insider</a>.

[*]New York Times columnist <font color=yellow>Michael Starr</font> notes in his latest column <A class="link" HREF=http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/33202.htm>The Starr Report</a> that <font color=yellow>William Petersen</font> (Gil Grissom) is among nominees for TV Guide: Greatest Moments 2004, due to air December 20th on ABC.

[*]CSI: Crime Scene Investigation failed to win the award for Most Popular Drama after being nominated in the UK's prestigious National Television awards, notes the Fan site <A class="link" HREF=http://www.billypetersen.com/>The William Petersen Appreciation Page has been updated with a plethora of new screencaps and a trade ad from the Hollywood Reporter, although sadly the webmaster has had to remove videos from the site temporarily due to bandwidth concerns.

[*]And another fan site, "What's Eating Gilbert Grissom?".

[*]<A class="link" HREF=http://www.fftimes.com/index.php/9/2004-11-08/19016>Fort Frances Times Online</a> has run an article discussing how schools are turning to CSI to give inspiration for their curriculums, noting that use of CSI techniques can give pupils not only a grounding in sciences but also world issues and language arts.

[*]Could there possibly be a more popular show than CSI? <A class="link" HREF=http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2004-11-08-housewives_x.htm>USA Today</a> columnist <font color=yellow>Fary Levin</font> thinks so – pointing out that when you include audiences from its Sunday repeat, ABC's Desperate Housewives seems to be eclipsing CSI in terms of viewer numbers.

[*]And finally, we'd like to join voices with <A class="link" HREF=http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/10130845.htm>Kansas.com</a> and wish a very happy 56th birthday to <font color=yellow>Robert David Hall</font> (Dr. Robbins)![/list]<center></center>
