    Fishburne, however, has done some terrific acting, and Langston is a character who's strong enough (though a nontraditional one for police shows) to firmly take Grissom's place at the table. Just in a different seat.

    The particulars of the transition involve the usual melodrama, as each regular cast member has a chance to express his or her feelings about Grissom’s departure, however pissy or mundane.

    I really enjoy the new life that Fishburne brought into the show. Grissom was tired and was dragging the show into a parody of itself.

    It's just not the same without Grissom. I think the Fishburne character was worked in very nicely, I'm just not sure they could It's just not the same without Grissom. I think the Fishburne character was worked in very nicely, I'm just not sure they could ever afford to lose such a central character as he seemed to me to be the anchor of the show. But the fact that his departure so closely followed that of both Sarah's and Warrick's left such a dent in the shows foundation, I doubt it can ever be fixed. A whole new CSI: has been created and in my opinion it falls short of it's predecessor.… Full Review »

    I have nothing against Fishburne and im sure the show will still do well... But Grissom leaves? Really? Grissom IS CSI. How would you feel if I have nothing against Fishburne and im sure the show will still do well... But Grissom leaves? Really? Grissom IS CSI. How would you feel if luke skywalker got killed of at the begining of the second movie? How would you feel if Frodo Died at the start of the 1st movie. How would you feel if Neo was killed off in the first and then everone was like were fked and it ended there. Grissom is CSI and in my opinion the show has ended. I still wish everone luck with the show but i cant watch it anymore....… Full Review »
