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.

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....

I am a die hard obsessed CSI fan. Despite the emotional kill offs (Speedle, Alex, Warrick, Sarah, all the many secondary charcters...and now Grissom, ) I'm still dedicated but not so captivated as before. Some of the recent new episodes on both MIA and VEGAS have been, well, kind of stale. It's not the same and certainly won't be when Petersen leaves. Fishbourne might be a sharp and accomplished actor, but does he qualify to be Gill Grissoms successor and how will he fit in with the tight knit Vegas crew, whose synergy is the thing that keeps them going.

Slickly made superfluous and souless forensic porno,.... and critically-taken seriously (as above) no less... FGS America - grow up. It seems great cos it is gratuitous and manipulative, but for the rest of intelligent humanity this hold lasts about four episodes... and yet, here you are ons eason one million, lapping it up in continued primetime (and even, disgustingly, taking the show seriously at wards shows... while shows like the soup happily mock its absurdity) slots like other dumb countries do (australia), who rather than live a life worth living, would just be happy aping the USA. Aim higher than the gutter - you might be surprised what the world and real life and emotions are like... it's a good world out there. Forensic porn does not form part of it or its aspirations. Shame on you.
