Season 11 "Spoiler Lab" Discussion Part 2

Maybe something super sekret happens involving Greg? What can I say, I'm in an optimistic mood today :lol:

Totally agree, I can understand why they've done it. And I think it'll work, with some of the stunt casting in the past I didn't even know they'd been stunt cast :wtf: I had no idea who that band were last year. But with Justin Bieber I think it will make an impression, my local radio station had a competition last week to meet him and they had over two thousand people enter in the first couple of days, even some mum's entering for their children. So even if the kids don't stay around to watch the eps Bieber isn't in, maybe their parents will.

 

I still don't see what age demographic tptb are aiming for. Where I stay the majority of Beiber fans are in the 10-15 area, and for the most part aren't really interested in crime drama (hell, my friend said she'd only watch the eps with Beiber and nothing else. Successful casting indeed ) I guess I could understand parents being interested, but even then they could have had guests that would appeal to the older generation.

I'm still remaining resolute that this was a mistake in casting (not to mention all this publicity for the kid is inevitably leading to hype backlash) and that they should have spent the cash on better guest stars (though they did get Sienna, Elliot and Katee, at least) and given the promotional news to the original cast instead.

 

We still don't know all the facts.. and will soon when it debuts. It it sucks then it does, if it's OK then that's it, and just maybe it'll be riveting and fans will love it. Time will tell. I put faith in the writers and figure after 10 seasons they know what their doing. Also everyone has a preferable favorite out of the team. I like them all some better then others, that's just life. I'm happy with the way it is now and hope it stays this way. This board could be like some that still embrace the old back in the dark ages on GSR, [which that's not happening on the show] and still hammer away about Grissom, like he's still on the show or is "coming back" I think the TPTB would enjoy this forum due to the fact that were up to speed on what's really happening and what's not:bolian: I'm still waiting to see this baby Bieber and then decide if it was worth having him featured on CSI~

 

I agree that tptb are trying to attract new viewers, however, if the really want to get more inthe 18 to 49 demographic, then Justin Bieber is NOT the way to go. He attracts what 7 year olds :lol:. In any case, he attracts people who are younger than 14 not who are 18 or older.

 

It's also a case of creating buzz for the show. Even if you're not a Bieber fanatic, just having people posting and talking about CSI will bring additional viewers to the show. However, the trick will be to create an episode that is good enough to keep them coming back the next week.

 

I'm thinking that TPTB are not necessarily aiming for the Bieber fan, BUT their parents. However, unless those young fans can con their parents into letting them stay up late, they may already be in bed when the show begins. :lol:

 

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

That's some really good news about Katee Sackhoff.I hope she stays on the show as long as possible.We need some fresh female blood in the show.

 

Yes!!! Great news . With Katee on Vegas and Edward James Olmos doing a guest spot on NY my CSI's are filled with the BSG people and I'm loving it. Thank you for posting.

 

Carol says "they've pursued he for years" so why didn't she come on instead of Lauren Lee Smith? What was she doing then. And how do they know she'll work out? That's rather a big statement to make, when what if [And I'm not saying she won't] be a big hit with fans? So many stars have come on and then Pffft, gone. I hope she is a pistol and works out for everyones sake.~
