NBC Cancels CSI

February 26, 2003 | Issue 39•07


BURBANK, CA—Seeking to bolster its Thursday-night Nielsen numbers, NBC announced Monday that it is cancelling the highly rated CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. "CSI was a quality show that, unfortunately, always quite lived up to expectations," said Jeff Zucker, NBC president of entertainment. "We tried to give it plenty of time to lose an audience, but in the end, it just was working." Other shows NBC may cancel include Fox's American Idol, ABC's Alias, and CBS's Everybody Loves Raymond.

NBC should have been showing Scrubs already. They have enough episodes to show. They aren't doing themselves good by not showing one of their best shows.

It's so annoying that it's been so long. They've been filming it at the hospital right by my house for the past couple months.

Glad they are showing 2 new episodes January 3rd.

They've been filming for a while now. They probably have at least a quarter of the season filmed.
