CBS made the call and canceled CSI: Miami.

David Caruso in 'CSI: Miami'

David Caruso

After 10 great seasons of following “H” or Lieutenant Horatio Caine played by David Caruso, Calleigh (Emily Procter), Delko (Adam Rodriguez), Tripp (Rex Linn), Wolfe (Jonathan Togo), the gorgeous Natalia (Eva La Rue) and the rest of the supporting cast, CBS pulled the plug on the CSI: Miami.

It came down to costs and CSI: Miami apparently cost more than CSI: NY and they canceled Miami and kept NY.  Boo from this fan.  But as they said a few weeks back in a bit of a contract twister, they said if Caruso were to give up some of his wage, the show could stay.

Not sure what really happened, but the end result was the show getting canceled.  And before you get mad at CBS, keep in mind, if enough viewers were to have kept tuning in, we wouldn’t be here right now.  (I don’t like saying that, but that’s the reality of the business of TV  We take are chances falling in love with a show and that’s life, as TV fans.)

Marg Helgenberger in CSI Crime Scene Investigation episode 'Willows in the Wind'

This is a dual purpose piece here on Cinema Static on Brusimm. I touch on the 2nd of the 2-part farewell episode, saying farewell to Marg Helgenberger who plays Catherine Willows on CSI, it’s also about how networks really need look at how they need to more carefully preview their shows.

-

First up, the two-parter CSI story was the culmination of several episodes over a period of time, setting up the exit story for Helgenberger.  It also brings to fruition the story of tackling Mark Gabriel (played by Titus Welliver) and his professional hit squad.

But this farewell episode seemed like it was missing something.  There were a lot of convenient pieces falling into place and then there were some quick twists that brought in some unforeseen resolutions.  It was a nice but quickly paced episode to close this story out.

-

In the first part of this two-part story, the episode ended with Willows being shot.  As the second part of this story started, Catherine Willows was bleeding out and on the run from the professional hit squad.

And I did not care one bit about all the blood and gunmen in pursuit.
