Grissom Says Goodbye to CSI

Gilbert "Gil" Grissom, Ph.D. is leaving CSI. William Petersen has done an amazing job portraying the character over the past few years. Even as numerous other CSI shows have sprung up his character is still the most interesting CSI character. Grissom's last show airs January 15th. We will miss Grissom but we are excited by Laurence Fishburne who is a great replacement. Here's a teaser for the final show which is the end of a two-parter. Maureen Ryan has more details at the Chicago Tribune.

Laurence Fishburne Nabs Ratings, New Production Deal

Laurence Fishburne garnered record ratings with his debut on CSI. Now he's signed a production deal.
Fishburne has sealed a first-look deal with "CSI" producer CBS Paramount Network TV to develop projects for the smallscreen. As part of the deal, Fishburne's Cinema Gypsy Prods. will be located on the Eye's CBS Radford lot in Studio City.

Fishburne has tapped former TV One and Paramount TV exec Rose Catherine Pinkney to oversee his television arm. Pinkney will report to Fishburne and Helen Sugland, Fishburne's manager and partner in Cinema Gypsy. "I have always wanted to continue to expand our production efforts at Cinema Gypsy into television, and Rose Catherine's extensive background and experience in TV is a natural fit with those plans," Fishburne said.

News comes following Fishburne's Thursday debut on "CSI." Fishburne's appearance coincided with the show's best ratings since its season premiere, averaging 20.9 million viewers and a 5.8 rating/15 share among adults 18-49, easily winning its hour.
Fishburne is breathing new life into CSI, and his production deal is a smart move.
