ReplyDeleteGood choice CBS, Ted D and Elizabeth S have been good additions to the show
ReplyDeletegood news but moved it out of the dreadful 10/9c slot this used to be getting 30 million + now its lucky if i gets 10 million +
ReplyDeleteI always loved CSI, but everything is so fresh with Ted Danson!! I'm happy and excited.
ReplyDeleteTed Danson is so great as DB Russell ! I am a big fan since season 1 so I'm glad to get old with my favorite series still on screens ! ^^
ReplyDeleteI agree with people who think CSI should return at 9.00 pm. It would be a better leading series than Criminal Minds
