Watching CSI

Looks like they may set the stage for Grissom’s leaving with this grief counselor. What do you think of the new CSI?

Eva LaRue talked about the first ep of CSI Miami on today’s Early Show. Check it out she does a great Horatio Caine impression.

Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, is set to guest star on the 100th episode CSI:NY. Rumer will play a character named…wait for it… Mac Taylor. There’s a serial killer on the loose who targets people named Mac Taylor. The November 19th episode will also feature the arrival of a new detective, played by Julia Ormond and the return of rap superstar Nelly.

Hill Harper chatted with Showbiz Tonight about his good friend and presidential candidate Barack Obama. The two have been friends for years(since Harvard) and Hill has been an staunch supporter during the entire campaign. Hill’s also been seen around town a a reading at the Starz Green Room at a party he hosting Wednesday night and hanging out with Keisha and Forest Whitaker.

Yesterday, Access Hollywood claimed that Gary released an exclusive statement to them regarding his drug arrest. The problem with the statement is that it was an email exchange between Shaun Robinson an Access Hollywood corespondent and friend of Gary’s. A statement by one of Gary’s reps maintains that this was never intended to be made public. “This was a personal text to a friend taken completely out of context. The exchange was not intended for air or publication.”

Whatever the case, here are Gary’s own thoughts about the situation.

“Obviously I certainly wish I hadn’t been responsible for so many people getting to the festival’s VIP area,” Dourdan is referring to the Coachella festival which Access Hollywood previously mentioned “And the after party, it ran me ragged, but I’m glad pulling over did prevent a DUI. I recommend not driving at all, but a little kip (nap) is always good (on either side of the road LOL).”

“I am blessed that the Sgt. realized that the luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and that my tests have been coming back negative. I’ve been happy to cooperate in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life.”

“I am so sorry to all my fans, especially the young ones, like Taylor Swift, who I should’ve been supporting with my daughter instead of driving tired in the desert,” he wrote. “I am planning events to get the word out that you don’t need a bunch of nasty chemicals to have a good time. Just good friends, family, good music and a good honest spirit full of faith.”

Gary was scheduled to present an award to Taylor Swift last Sunday and presumably his daughter Nyla was set to attend with him.

Eddie Cahill is doing his second round of blogging as a Rangers fan.

Well, I’m back again, looking forward to another Rangers’ run. I’m glad you’re back, especially you Rangers fans, and hopefully what we saw last year can be built upon by the boys in blue. In fact, I’m almost counting on it.

First of all, I got to about five Rangers games live this season, and there was definitely an overall increase in speed. And actually, I think this season is the first time I’m looking at a complete team. Lines 1-4 are made up guys who know how to play: hockey players.

The folks over at the the William Petersen Appreciation Page(if you haven’t been over there you should really check it out) have kicked off a letter writing campaign to show Billy how much his fans care. Here’s how it’s going to work:

We[WPAP] are inviting our site visitors to email to us their letters addressed to Billy, or scan for us your sketches/artwork. We will print them all, collect and display them in a classy binder and have them delivered to Billy during the run of Dublin Carol. We cannot guarantee any responses, but we can guarantee they will be delivered. We will contact Billy beforehand to make him aware of the project and to expect a package from us.

Rest assured that we will not be reading your letters; we will treat them as private. They can be as short or as long as you wish, we will just print them out with no cost to you and you will not have to worry about finding the time to get to the post office. Anything sent in color will be printed out in color. We will arrange everything for you.

There is plenty of time to work on your letters or artwork as our deadline is 31st October 2008, this gives both you and us plenty of time to get the package ready. At this time we do not know the exact date it will be delivered, but as soon as it is we will let everyone know. We will also post regular updates on our LJ in respect of the project.

You can write about anything you like. If you want to write but you are not quite sure what to say, here are some ideas:

• Wish him all the best with his upcoming play, or to “Break a Leg” as they say.
• Send him a Holiday greeting.
• Send a simple “thank you” for an autograph or photo.
• Perhaps a specific character or Billy himself has inspired or helped you in some way.
• Maybe you had the opportunity to speak to him once but were too shy to do so.
• Maybe you got to see the play last time, but unfortunately didn’t see Billy in person to share your thoughts on it.
• If you plan to see the play, let him know you are excited about it (please keep in mind he may read these after the production has finished.)
• Maybe you can’t go to the play this time but you hope to see him perform on stage one day.

They will only accept letters via email. Email letters and artwork to wpapfanprojects[at]yahoo.com

According to several sources all three CSIs are set to return in April. We can expect CSI(Vegas) to air a new show on April 3rd. Reuters is reporting that CSI:NY and CSI:Miami will also air new eps in April. We can expect each CSI to air between 5-9 eps. I’m hearing lots of different numbers but that’s the best guess right now.

Which CSI are you looking forward to seeing?

Jack and Grissom like the ladies…..

The spoiler first appeared on EW prior the Thursday’s show. Still, the promo of Grissom actually proposing to Sara at the end of the ep sent shock waves through the CSI fandom. Next week’s episdoe (The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp) will indeed feature Gil asking Sara to marry him. Well..it’s more like he suggests they get married. CBS has actually released a clip of the proposal as well as a promo that is entirely based on the Grissom-Sara storyline. Looks like the TPTB have invested heavily in this sometimes controversial ship. They are even using fandom vernacular like GSR.

Much is unclear right now. Is this an actual proposal? If so, will Sara say yes? Has the fan effort to keep Jorja Fox on the show worked? Is Jorja even planning on leaving the show permanently?

We won’t know until the season plays out but something big is bound to be in the works. What? We’ll just have to stay tuned. The clip and promo are below.

CSI CBS TV Television CSI New York CSI Miami CSI NY Ratings Nielsens Nielsen Ratings

Because this a new blog and because we are the middle of sweeps and because I’m trying to get you all the details of upcoming episodes I will be posting A LOT. Next season will be very different because I can start posting information as soon as it comes.

For example, I will start posting episode details in August for September shows. In the meantime stay with. I’m trying to get you the best information for the last 3 or 4 episodes for each CSI.

First Look at DVR ratings. Snagged it from TV Bloggin.

NEW YORK, April 25 /PRNewswire/ — The Nielsen Company today released the first look at the most “timeshifted” broadcast network television programs in the U.S., with FOX’s House and ABC’s Lost showing the most lift in audience due to playback with a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) within seven days of its initial airing.

For the week of April 2 - April 8, the most recent week for which ratings for seven-day playback are available, House pulled in an additional 2.74 million DVR viewers after its April 3rd airing, while Lost pulled in an additional 2.47 million viewers after its April 4th episode. The April 3rd episode of American Idol on FOX was third with 2.45 million viewers.

On a percentage basis, The Office had the highest gain in viewing with DVR playback, increasing viewership by more than 31%.

Starting immediately, The Nielsen Company will make this ranking available to media reporters every Monday on its online Press Room.
