CBS announced that they have renewed the long running drama
CSI for a 14th season. The renewal comes on the heels of series star Ted Danson signing on for another year.
CSI has endured several changes in the past several years including the departures of William Petersen then Laurence Fishburne then Marg Helgenberger. It also endured a timeslot change to Wednesday two years ago but that has paid off as the 10pm Wednesday slot is less pressure than Thursday 9pm. This year, it has had some real strong ratings outings before getting bogged down in a duel with
Chicago Fire in the Wednesday 10pm slot.
CSI joins
How I Met Your Mother and
NCIS as the only official renewals for next year. With the cancellation of
CSI: Miami last season and the likely cancellation of
CSI: NY this year, it looks like the mothership will be the only
CSI on the air for the first time since 2002-03. The show has been a long time success story for CBS but I have to think it only has a few more years at most in it. Still, it definitely deserves this renewal.
