I don't remember all of the new guys' names, but I know Gavin Harris is on board (he wrote the premiere), and Joe Pakaski is also writing this season,

All of the shows that the new guys have written definitely had strong female characters. Hopefully, that bodes well for Marg, Jorja, and the new girl, and they'll get more screentime and decent storylines. :thumbsup:

Marg won't, as she won't be in many episodes, but the one's she is on, hopefully she will get decent screen time.

Personally, I put more stock in storylines than screen time. And we haven't heard yet how many episodes Marg will be in.
I've never been a big fan of Catherine (although I think Marg is awesome), but I think tptb have enough respect for her and her character to give her a proper exit.
Any writer that can write for a strong female character is welcome in my book. Season 10 was a wasteland for the females on CSI, but last season was much better. Granted, CBS is better known for its male leads, but if you look at cable shows, it's a much more equal playing field. CBS is evolving though. Even Les has to admit that its only real critical success is the female led 'The Good Wife'.

On another note, I've been watching Ted Danson on 'Damages' and have renewed optimism on how he will do on CSI. I think he will fit in nicely. I was a big fan of 'Cheers', but his dramatic role on 'Damages' has revealed another side to his acting chops. I like how he seems to seek out different acting challenges. And I'm curious to see what type of character he creates on CSI.

TV.com says:

12.01 ''73 Seconds''
A crazy, chaotic shoot-out on a hotel tram leaves two dead, almost no witnesses, and a lot of contradictory evidence; another dead man in Panaca County has a young man's face and an old man's body...

12.02 "The Pageant"
The CSIs investigate the murder of a 12 year old beauty queen. Meanwhile, an agent from Internal Affairs questions the rest of the team about Nate Haskell's murder.

"The Pageant" is a foiler and has never at any point been a working episode for season 12. That description (and title) is not accurate.

They start filming the new season today, so...

I wonder when we will learn the name of Danson's CSI character.

Hopefully, sooner rather than later.:lol: Do you think the writers are going to follow the same pattern of letting him choose/basing his character's name on his something in his real life like WP and LF did?
 
CSI is in Vegas today filming scenes.

'CSI' shooting at Golden Nugget

All roads lead back to Vegas.

Just ask the folks at CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," which returns for its 12th-season opener, "73 Seconds."

Today's production headquarters: downtown's Golden Nugget, with scenes planned on the casino floor and in the hotel's Rush Tower.

Cast members making the Vegas trek: original regulars Marg Helgenberger and George Eads, along with returning regular Jorja Fox and newcomer Ted Danson, who takes over as "CSI's" crime lab supervisor following Laurence Fishburne's departure.

"CSI" veteran Alex Smight -- who's worked on the series as both director and editor -- directs from a script by Gavin Harris ("Cold Case").

Other planned background locations for today's "CSI" shoot: the Fremont Street Experience, plus Strip-adjacent sites on Tropicana and Hacienda avenues.

The episode is scheduled to air Sept. 21, when "CSI" moves to a new night and time slot -- 10 p.m. Wednesdays.

Created by former Las Vegan Anthony Zuiker, "CSI" continues its reign as the world's most-watched TV show, with more than 73 million viewers in 68 countries, according to the Monte Carlo TV Festival, which last month awarded the show an International Television Audience Award.

Wish they had someone proofread the article. It's "Alec" Smight, not "Alex."
 
... a script by Gavin Harris ("Cold Case")

I was a fan of Cold Case but didn't know which episodes had he written so I look it up and he did some relly good episodes. And for a new CSI writer asked to write for a SEASON PREMIERE looks like confidence to me. Looks like the premiere is going to be very good!

I guess that means Greg, Morgan and Brass (?) will be investigating the B-case.

I'm a little concerned that Episode 1 hasn't mentioned anything about concluding Haskell's storyline. Hopefully, they'll sort it like Ray's stabbing for Shock Wave and have it all resolved in the first five minutes I was just hoping to get rid of that storyline once and for all in the first episode.
 
Isn't that interesting. My aunt just told me she saw both Marg and Ted enjoying dinner at a restaurant in Vegas! That's how I found out about Ted replacing Ray in the first place.

I like Ted, he could be a colorful addition to the team!
 
I lived in Las Vegas, and the Fremont Street Experience, is quite that. The locals hang out there and the Golden Nugget, is beautiful. Tourists as well of course go downtown too, and I frequented the Four Queens, a real neighborly place. Here's a link about downtown~

FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE
